The synthetic food colorant market has witnessed notable growth owing to low cost, high color intensity, and more color stability and uniformity.

The increased demand for processed food further enhances the demand for synthetic food colors. With the rise in urbanization, growing middle-class population, increase in the working population, and a rise in disposable income, the developed and developing regions across the globe are witnessing a rising demand for packaged food. Synthetic food colors are extensively used in processed foods to improve visual appeal. Bright and vibrant colors make products more attractive and appealing to consumers. This visual appeal can influence consumer perception of the taste and quality of the food, impacting purchasing decisions. While there are concerns about the safety of synthetic colorants, many of them have undergone rigorous testing and received approval from regulatory bodies like the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for safe use in food products. This regulatory approval reassures processed food manufacturers and consumers regarding their safety.
