Natural food colours are derived from a plethora of sources such as fruits, vegetables, plants, and other natural sources. These source materials are processed to extract various pigments or dyes in the form of powders, pastes, liquid, gels, etc. The market growth for natural food colours is estimated at a healthy CAGR of 6.5% in terms of value over the forecast period of 2018 through 2028. Growth is anticipated to remain robust in APEJ (Asia Pacific Excluding Japan) owing to shifting consumer preference from chemical and synthetic ingredients towards natural ingredients coupled with increasing demand for clean label products. The general “health and wellness” trend will also continue to influence the demand for natural food colours in the region. Also, there has been an increase in the number of petitions filed by natural food colour manufacturers for use of natural colours in various countries. This, in turn, has led to a rise in initiatives undertaken by governments across the globe for the inclusion of exempted natural colour pigments. With the increasingly stringent regulations imposed by governments of various countries for clean and eco-friendly products, demand for natural food colours is expected to expand significantly in the near future. Approval of natural food colours is intended to close the gap between end-use companies and natural colour manufacturers to seamlessly adopt various formulations ideal for a range of applications.
