Flavors and Fragrances Market Size & Trends | Mordor Intelligence

The global flavors and fragrances market is poised to reach USD 50.61 billion by 2030, up from USD 39.91 billion in 2025, registering a CAGR of 4.87% during the forecast period. This growth is strongly driven by the expanding processed food and beverage industry, particularly in Asia-Pacific and Latin America, coupled with rising consumer demand for natural and plant-based flavoring solutions. As urbanization and disposable incomes rise, particularly in emerging economies such as India and China, the market continues to evolve in response to shifting consumer preferences around taste, aroma, and product quality.

The growing emphasis on clean-label, organic, and health-focused consumption patterns is compelling manufacturers to innovate and invest in advanced flavor and fragrance technologies. These developments are helping companies address both functional needs in food production and sensory appeal demanded by modern consumers.

Key Trends Shaping the Market

Processed Foods Fueling Market Growth

The demand for processed and convenient food products is a central driver of the market. As consumers seek easy-to-prepare meals that fit into fast-paced lifestyles, manufacturers are incorporating sophisticated flavor and fragrance systems to maintain taste and aroma despite the effects of thermal treatment and preservation processes. These flavor systems play a critical role in recreating natural profiles and enhancing product differentiation.

Surge in Plant-Based and Natural Ingredients

Global shifts in dietary habits have prompted increased demand for plant-based and clean-label ingredients. Natural fragrances and botanical extracts are becoming central to product reformulations as consumers become more health-conscious and environmentally aware. Leading producers are exploring upcycling of agricultural by-products and using advanced extraction methods to deliver sustainable flavor solutions.

Innovation in Flavor Development

The market has seen an uptick in product innovation, fueled by digital tools and ingredient research. Companies are leveraging artificial intelligence and data analytics to create customized regional flavors and new taste experiences. Investments in innovation centers, such as International Flavors & Fragrances Inc.'s Citrus Innovation Center in Florida, are enhancing capabilities in natural flavor creation.

Rising Popularity of Ethnic and Global Flavors

Consumers are increasingly embracing global cuisine, with ethnic and cross-cultural flavors such as Sichuan mala, Thai satay, and Korean spicy chicken gaining traction in mainstream packaged foods. Manufacturers are incorporating these flavors across product categories including snacks, frozen meals, and ready-to-drink beverages to appeal to adventurous palates.

Challenges from Regulatory and Cost Pressures

Despite the opportunities, the market faces regulatory hurdles and rising costs. International quality standards and ingredient safety regulations are becoming more stringent, especially in the US and EU. Fluctuating costs of raw materials, especially natural inputs affected by climate variability, also impact manufacturer margins and supply chain resilience.
