Market Trends of Brazil Food Additives Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Brazil Food Additives Market according to our research experts:
Sweeteners Promises Significant Growth
The success of the sweetener products can be understood from the recent success of the Brazilian sugar mills. These mills are responsible for over 90% of the domestic sugar output, and they have crushed over 5.26 million metric ton in the early period of 2016, a significant increase from 292,600 metric ton of the previous year. The food consumption pattern in Brazil changed significantly with improved living standards. More consumers are exposed to a greater diversity of consumer products. Beverage manufacturers can use a combination of different additives in Brazil, according to a decree passed by the President of the Republic of Brazil in 2016.
Growing Demand for Anti-microbial Additive
Brazil is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of meat and animal products. Antimicrobials are used in food-producing animals, mainly as a growth promoter. Microbial pathogens are the cause of many foodborne diseases because of the ingestion of contaminated food. Several preservation methods have been developed by the companies in the country to assure microbial food safety, as well as nutritional values and sensory characteristics of food. However, the demand for natural antimicrobial agents is increasing due to Brazilian consumers' concerns related to health issues.
