Market Trends of Spain Food Colorants Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Spain Food Colorants Market according to our research experts:
Rising Demand for Natural Food Colorants
Increasing awareness about the implications of synthetic colorants has created a demand for natural colorants. The health-enhancing properties of natural colors combined with the low- trans-fat content in natural products are also boosting their appeal. Also, Spain's market for natural food colorants is favorable due to the stringent government food safety and health regulations, which is boosting the natural food colorant market. Furthermore, innovation in natural food colors to mitigate the application challenges faced by the food industry is one of the key approaches adopted by the companies so as to meet the propelling consumer demand. However, the main constrains of the industry are the high cost of production, chemical instability due to fluctuating temperature/pH conditions, and increased regulations.
Acquisitive Demand for Food Colorants in Beverage Industries
The beverage industry is the biggest user of food colorants globally and constitutes a strong market in the country among all the segments. Almost all color shades can be found and the main ones are brown, orange, yellow, and red. Natural colors are commonly used, and this trend is gaining importance. Food colors are suitable for beverage applications such as fruit/flavored still drinks, carbonated soft drinks, dilutable, beers, and ciders, as they can withstand standard technological treatment and storage conditions. In addition, frequent launches of new certified food colors are further fueling the market growth in the country. For instance, Chr. Hansen launched a new CapColors® Orange, that enables the conversion of stable and non-artificial coloration for beverages.
