The global synthetic food color market size accounted for USD 681 million in 2024 and is expected to exceed around USD 1,163.25 million by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2024 to 2034.
The synthetic food colors market has shown considerable growth, due to the steady upsurge in the use of bright and fade-resistant dyes in foods, drinks, and sweets. Food synthetic colors, which are produced from chemical substances, have been embraced due to factors, such as low price, stability, and predictability of the colors required. Bakery and dairy products, and snack items especially confectionery products use synthetic colors to make the food products aesthetically appealing, which in this case has a close link with the consumers’ choices. Furthermore, the growth in this market is expected to be fueled by the continuously growing food and beverages industry and the increasing trend of visually appealing packaging.
The market is driven by such forces, including an increase in regulation and new product development within the synthetic food colors market. Tough regulatory standards for foods in areas of North America and Europe increased the challenge among producers in synthesizing the colorants in a way that meets such high regulatory standards, yet provides the vibrant color that is often desirable. However new synthetic colors compared to natural ones are soluble, and stable to heat and light, thus making them usable in a wide range of uses. Market leaders, including Chr. Hansen, Sensient Technologies, and BASF, are investing in research to develop new and better synthetic food colors for food producers.
The largest growth in the consumption of synthetic food colors occurring in the Asia-Pacific region, mainly due to the constant development of the food processing industry and the shift in people’s diets, especially in India and China. Higher population density, the increase in the standard of living, and the demand for convenience food, such as fast foods and processed snacks are also fuelling the demand for synthetic food color in the region. Furthermore, the Middle East and African regions are becoming very viable markets, especially with the rise in confectionery and beverages markets. Additionally, the global shifts toward the preference for colorful and pleasing-to-the-eye food products further push the market for synthetic food colors.
