Carotenoids Market Drivers: Increased use of natural carotenoids as food and beverage colorants.
The shift towards natural and clean label ingredients in the food industry has spurred increased utilization of natural carotenoids as food colorants. Carotenoids, found in fruits, vegetables, and algae, serve as appealing substitutes to synthetic colors due to their perceived health benefits and clean label appeal. Consumers seek products with recognizable, natural ingredients like beta-carotene, lycopene, and astaxanthin, which not only provide vibrant colors but also offer antioxidant properties. With a growing demand for natural ingredients and a preference for brightly colored foods, food manufacturers must prioritize understanding these trends to effectively meet consumer expectations and influence purchasing decisions. Consequently, incorporating natural carotenoid extracts across dairy, bakery, confectionery, beverages, and snacks enables versatile color applications in response to evolving consumer preferences.
Carotenoids Market Opportunities: Increased opportunity for expansion into high-growth potential markets, including developing countries in the Asia Pacific and South America regions
Currently, Europe is poised to lead the carotenoids market, yet the Asia Pacific region anticipates sustained demand growth due to expanding markets for dietary supplements and food and beverages. Increasing awareness of carotenoids’ benefits is expected to fuel demand in Asia Pacific and South America. Additionally, the burgeoning animal feed segment in Asia Pacific is projected to drive market expansion. According to the 2024 Alltech report, Latin America has demonstrated consistent growth over the past decade, driven by robust monogastric exports and expanding aqua and pet markets. With China, India, and Japan among the top feed-producing countries, the region’s accelerating use of carotenoids in animal feed is forecasted to propel overall market growth.
