Market Trends of United States Food Preservatives Industry

This section covers the major market trends shaping the US Food Preservatives Market according to our research experts:

Natural Food Preservatives to Represent Tremendous Growth

Preservatives slow down product spoilage caused by mold, air, bacteria, fungi, or yeast. In addition to maintaining the quality of the food, they help control contamination that can cause foodborne illness, including life-threatening botulism. Artificial preservatives, such as sodium nitrate, sodium benzoate, and propionate, have long been the norm in the food industry due to their low cost and effectiveness even in small amounts. However, consumers across the United States are removing artificial preservatives from their diets, due to increasing incidents related to the allergic reaction caused by consuming food products with artificial preservatives.

Due to this reason, an increasing number of ingredient manufacturers are bringing preservatives of natural origin into the market. In this regard, in 2017, Arjuna Natural Extracts, which is a leading manufacturer of botanical extracts for the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industry, expanded its operation opened a new sales office in the United States by launching a line of clean label preservatives. High consumer demand for 'free from artificial ingredients' is contributing to the market growth of natural preservatives in the country.

Increasing Application of Food Preservatives In Meat and Meat Products

Microbial contamination is the principal cause for product recall, occurring most frequently in meat products, with contamination by Listeria monocytogenes reported as the most common causal organism. Therefore natural preservatives like Nissi and natamycin are permitted as a food preservative in more than 70 countries, mainly for processed meat products.

Further, the meat and meat products segment is one of the largest segments for the use of antimicrobial preservatives. Demand for natural preservatives is rising among producers. Thus, owing to the rising demand, companies like Galactic, offer natural antimicrobials, like nisin, which is used for exclusive use in the meat industry. Nisin inhibits pathogenic foodborne bacteria, such as Listeria monocytogenes and many other gram-positive food spoilage microorganisms present in meat products.
