The Global Food Flavor Enhancer Market size is projected to grow from USD 3.5 billion in 2016 to USD X.X billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2017-2028. The growth of the global food flavor enhancer market is driven by factors such as increased consumption of processed foods and demand for convenience foods globally, growing interest among consumers towards healthier diets, and increasing population coupled with rising disposable income levels across developing economies which will drive up the demand for processed food products.
The food flavor enhancer or artificial flavoring is a combination of chemical ingredients added to make the taste of bland tasting foods more palatable. This can be in powdered form and is typically used for seasoning meat products such as sausages and canned meats. Alternatively, it may come in a liquid solution that consists of water along with propylene glycol alginate syrup that helps maintain its stability when stored at room temperature.
Food flavor enhancer is a compound that imparts a savory taste to food by stimulating sweet and umami receptors in the human tongue. Flavor enhancers are added to processed foods so as to enhance their existing natural flavors and tastes, besides making them less expensive than fresh or unprocessed products. There are a lot of different ways to make food flavor enhancers. A great ingredient used in making it is glutamate, which can be found naturally or made from other ingredients such as sugar and salt. This type of amino acid has been known for its ability to enhance the taste of foods without adding any extra calories. The process begins by breaking down proteins into smaller pieces that then form glutamic acid during fermentation. In some cases though, these acids may also come from protein hydrolysates or plants extracts like yeast extractions on soybeans.
On the basis of Type, the global food flavor enhancer market is segmented into MSG, HVP, and others.
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a sodium salt of glutamic acid, which almost all living beings are capable of producing in their body. It enhances the taste and flavor greatly when used as a food enhancer or additive. MSG is a flavor enhancer, which has the property of saltiness and umami. It works by stimulating glutamate receptors in your taste buds to enhance flavors. MSG is a sodium salt that occurs naturally in foods such as tomatoes, potatoes, and cheeses. It's made by fermenting starch or molasses with bacteria like Bacillus subtilis.
HVP food flavor enhancers are made by hydrolyzing proteins to the extent that they become free of their original amino acid configuration. They are then mixed with salt, sugar, and other ingredients to give them the desired taste for various applications. HVP food flavor enhancer is made from natural protein. It is produced by processing soy, wheat gluten, or corn with hydrochloric acid to break it down into amino acids. The proteins are isolated and purified so that they can be used in the manufacturing of HVP food flavoring additives. HVP food flavor enhancer is made by boiling soybeans in water. The solution is filtered and heated to remove impurities, leaving behind solids that are then pulverized into powder form. This can be further processed to produce a light-colored or dark product depending on the desired taste profile and nutritional content of the final HVP food flavor enhancer.
On the basis of Application, the global food flavor enhancer market is segmented into restaurants, home cooking, processing industry.
On the basis of Region, the global food flavor enhancer market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The North American region is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. The increased demand for flavor enhancers in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico are expected to contribute towards increasing growth of the food flavors industry in this region over the next few years. Furthermore, rising product launch activities by key players are also supporting the regional growth trends of food flavors.
In Europe, Germany is estimated to be the major consumer of food flavors in the region. The market for flavor enhancers in this country is expected to grow significantly due to increasing preference towards processed foods among consumers along with rising demand from restaurants and hotels industry. U.K., France, Spain, Italy are some other key markets that also contribute toward the growth of the overall European food flavors market.
The Asia Pacific represents one of the most promising regions in terms of developing countries such as China, India, etc. The growing need for quality branded products backed by improved infrastructure development activities will see strong growth over the next few years both in developed economies like Japan and South Korea as well emerging ones including Thailand & Malaysia among others. Moreover, increasing disposable income coupled with growing urbanization is expected to have a significant impact on the food flavors market in the Asia Pacific region.
Food flavor enhancers in the Middle East and Africa are expected to grow with a CAGR of around 13% during 2019-2028. The low growth rate can be attributed to factors such as rising awareness about healthy food, a growing middle-class population that prefers homemade food over processed one and rising health concerns among people leading them to avoid MSG consumption which has been criticized for its side effects. The rising demand for processed foods that offer enhanced taste along with improved shelf life across regions including Africa is one of the key drivers fuelling this industry's growth globally.
The growth will be primarily driven by factors such as growing demand for packaged food products among millennials in Latin America coupled with increasing awareness about health benefits associated with home cooking & organic ingredients. Other important drivers are convenience attributes offered by various packaging formats that include sachets, pouches, etc., applications across several subsegments including restaurants, home cooking industry are likely to propel market growth over the next few years. Moreover, rising health awareness combined with changing dietary patterns has influenced consumers toward consuming more processed foods which further has led to increased penetration rates of restaurant chains worldwide thereby boosting the global market for these products accordingly. Moreover, increasing disposable income coupled with changing consumer lifestyles is expected to further fuel demand for processed food products.
