Natural food preservatives derived from plants and animals are incorporated into the processing of food to increase stability, prevent spoilage, and extend the shelf-life of processed food products. The primary ingredients present in these preservatives include extracts of natural compounds derived from medicinal plants, salt, sugar, and spices. They inhibit or delay the growth of bacteria on food, thereby preventing food spoilage. Additionally, they improve microbial and safety quality without hindering organoleptic and nutritional quality. These preservatives are, therefore, considered to be an effective alternative to chemical and physical antimicrobial treatments. A small quantity is usually added to a variety of types of food, including perishable and non-perishable food types comprising meat, packaged vegetables, gravies, pet food, and snacks.
The market is majorly driven by the rapidly shifting consumer preferences towards chemical-free, naturally processed food products due to the rising health awareness among the masses. In addition to this, the growing consumption of clean-label and organic products is providing an impetus to the market. Moreover, the rapid product utilization in the formulation of processed and packaged food products is leading to a higher product uptake. Also, a considerable rise in the working population leading a fast-paced lifestyle is resulting in an increased uptake of ready-to-eat (RTE) food, thus driving the demand for extended shelf-life products. Apart from this, extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players with an enhanced focus on sustainable development are positively impacting the market. The market is further propelled by the penetration of high-speed internet among the masses resulting in the growing awareness regarding the adverse effects of chemical preservatives in food. Some of the other factors creating a positive outlook for the market include rapid urbanization, continual product innovations, inflating disposable income levels and considerable growth in the e-commerce sector.
