Developing food with an aesthetic appeal is a major challenge for the food industry. The food and beverage manufacturers are increasingly resorting natural and synthetic food colors to enhance the organoleptic appeal of the finished product. The major growth drivers of the global food color market are the rising health concerns over the use of the synthetic colors and a preference for ‘clean label’ foods.

The recent understanding of certain negative health traits with respect to the use of synthetic food colors has increased the demand for natural pigments. Natural food colors have achieved commercial significance due to the fact that consumers perceive them as safe additives. Besides aesthetics, natural pigments have potential physiological effects owing to their potent anti-oxidant properties. The process of selecting a natural colorant is most often influenced by factors such as the target shade, the physical/chemical attributes of the food matrix, stability to process and storage conditions, and regulatory issues.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the European market for food and beverages colorants. This report includes revenue forecasts, market trends, and opportunities from 2014 to 2019. The analysis has been conducted on the various market segments derived on the basis of applications of food and beverages colorants and has been further segmented on the basis of food and beverages colorants types.

The European food and beverages colorants market was valued at $553.90 million in 2014 and is projected to reach $779.20 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period. The market by application is led by beverage in 2014, with a share of 23.56%. Synthetic colors are the most commonly used type of food colorants but the use of natural colors is expected to increase at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
