Food Colors Market Drivers [https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/10/02/2957036/0/en/Consumer-Preferences-in-Food-Colors-A-Deep-Dive-into-Market-Trends-The-Road-to-6-0-Billion.html]: Need to enhance product appeal among manufacturers
The need to enhance product appeal has become a key driving factor in the food colors market. With the popularity of social media sites like YouTube and Instagram, product differentiation is greatly influenced by aesthetics. Color is a vital tool for manufacturers as visually appealing products attract ever more consumers. Similarly, vibrant and colorful foods also excite children and promote eating. A study conducted by the International Food Information Council (IFIC) found that 64% of consumers give appearance a high priority when making purchases. In order to meet consumer expectations and differentiate themselves in a crowded market, manufacturers are driven to innovate with food colors due to the emphasis placed on visual appeal.
Natural Food Colors Lead the Market with the Highest Share and Fastest Growth Among Food Color Segments
Food colors market is dominated by the natural food colors. This growth is driven by rising consumer demand for organic as well as clean label products. Increasing health consciousness and concerns about synthetic dyes, which can cause allergic reactions, have further fueled this trend. The segment's growth is further propelled by advancements in biotechnology. For instance, DSM Venturing (Netherlands) led Phytolon, an Israeli startup focused on natural food colouring, to secure USD 14.5 million in Series A funding in July 2022. Precision fermentation is being used by Phytolon to create natural colorants, which could lead to scalable production and commercialization. Their technology aims to replace traditional agriculture-based methods with more sustainable practices, meeting the high demand for natural colors in markets such as the US and Europe.

Plants and Animals: The Leading and Fastest-Growing Source Segment in the Market During the Study Period.
The market for food colors is dominated by the plants & animals source, which is also expected to grow at the fastest rate as consumer demand for natural and clean-label products rises. Food manufacturers are searching for natural substitutes for synthetic dyes as consumers are becoming more cautious about their health. Animal-based colors such as carmine and plant-based colors like those derived from fruits, vegetables, and spices are becoming more and more popular due to their natural, vibrant colors and environmental friendliness. These alternatives are perceived as safer and more sustainable, driving market expansion and higher growth compared to mineral, chemical, and microorganism-based colors.
Europe leads in market share and emerges as the fastest-growing region for food colors.
Among the regions, Europe dominates the food colors market. The dynamic and diverse food and beverage industry in Europe is the primary reason for the high demand for food colors in the region. According to Eurostat, there were 291,000 food and beverage processing businesses in the EU in 2020, with 4.6 million employees and a GDP of USD 258.8 billion. Furthermore, in 2021, the average expenditure made by EU citizens on food, beverages, and catering services was USD 4101.6. This significant consumer spending suggests a high demand for processed food and beverages, which in turn supports the market for food colors. The region's inclination for natural food coloring and its stringent laws both support the market's expansion.
