Japan is the Largest Food Colorants Market in the Region
After Europe and the United States, Japan has the strictest regulations for the usage of synthetic colorants in food products. It has resulted in a ban on the trading of several products containing artificial colorants and provided an opportunity for manufacturers of natural color. Food colorants have a wider and extensive application in various food segments, such as dairy, confectionery, meat, beverages, and bakery, with moderate usage in the oils and fats categories. The Japanese style of cuisine, which involves the usage of five essential colorants, white, black, red, green, and yellow, in every meal, is an important driving factor for the domestic colorants market.
