Increasing Demand for Packaged and Prepared Food Products to Augment Growth of Synthetic Food Antioxidant Market
Synthetic
food antioxidants are used in the food and beverages sector. The most
referenced synthetic antioxidants in the food industry are butylated
hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene, propyl gallate, and tert-butyl
hydroquinone.
Markey Dynamics
Increasing
demand for packaged and prepared food products is expected to propel growth of the
synthetic food antioxidant market. For instance, according to the U.S
Department of Agriculture, export of prepared food from U.S. increased from US$
5,849 million in 2015 to US$ 6,682 million in 2019. Moreover, increasing focus
on increasing shelf life of food products and prevention of rapid deterioration
is also expected to aid in growth of the market.
Increasing
demand for food is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players
in the synthetic food antioxidant market. For instance, according
to Food and Agriculture Organization, Asia Pacific needs to increase their food
production by up to 77% by 2050 to meet food demand of increasing population.
Moreover, increasing population is also expected to aid in growth of the
market. For instance, according to Our World in Data, a scientific online
publication, the population in Asia Pacific is expected to reach 5.3 billion by
2050.
R&D
in antioxidants is expected to propel growth of the synthetic food antioxidant
market. For instance, in February 2020, researchers from Texas A&M, in a
new paper published in the journal ACS Applied Material & Interfaces,
reported development of mesh-like mats composed of a network of intertwined
ultra-fine polymer and antioxidants from red wine contained within tannic acid.
Increasing
demand for natural and organic food products is expected to hinder growth of
the synthetic food antioxidant market. For instance, according to 2019 Organic Industry
Survey by the Organic Trade Association, Organic food sales in the U.S.
increased 5.9% in 2018 to reach US$ 47.9 billion and organic food sales made up
5.7% of overall food sales, which rose 2.3% in 2018.
Competitive Analysis
Major
players operating in the synthetic food antioxidant market include, Frutarom
Industries Ltd., Barentz Group, Camlin Fine Sciences Ltd, Kemin Industries,
Inc., and Kalsec Inc.
The
synthetic food antioxidant market is witnessing several M&A activities. For
instance, in May 2018, International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. and Frutarom
Industries Ltd. entered into a definitive agreement under which International
Flavors & Fragrances Inc. will acquire Frutarom in a cash and stock transaction.
