Food Flavors Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The food flavors market is evaluated at US$19.165 billion for 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.88%, reaching a market size of US$25.505 billion by 2030.

Food flavors are ingredients that are added to food and beverages to enhance their taste. There is a high demand for processed food in both developed and developing economies, playing a key role in supplementing global food flavors market growth. Processed food tends to lose its flavors over time, creating the necessity for using flavoring substances to maintain the flavor throughout the product's shelf life. The market for food flavors is expected to grow nominally over the forecast period, owing to people's hectic and changing lifestyles worldwide, particularly in developing economies due to rapid urbanization and industrialization in countries such as India and China.

This has further amplified the demand for convenience foods and beverages, which is anticipated to positively impact the market growth. The growing participation by food and beverage manufacturers in the form of increased investments in R&D for developing and launching new products is also anticipated to create lucrative business growth opportunities for the manufacturers throughout the forecast period.

By type, the artificial flavors segment is anticipated to hold a notable market share, which is supported by the fact that the costs associated with artificial flavors are comparatively lower. Since they offer similar tastes to natural ingredients, it is also a key factor bolstering their usage in food and beverages.

Food flavors market drivers:

• Natural flavors are witnessing a significant growth

The natural flavors segment is projected to grow at a noteworthy CAGR because consumer preferences toward natural ingredients are increasing in many countries due to the risk associated with the consumption of artificial ingredients. Moreover, the demand for clean-label products is also increasing globally, particularly in developing economies, primarily due to people's increasing purchasing power and awareness of naturally sourced food.

The market size of the food processing sector in India is estimated to reach US$1,274 billion in 2027, backed by the changing lifestyle and food habits due to rising disposable income and urbanization.
