Rising Use of Flavor Masking Agents in Plant-Based Products Fuels Asia Pacific Flavor Masking Agents Market

Consumers are highly inclined toward plant-based foods and beverages as they perceive them as healthier than conventional items. The global proliferation of veganism among people propels the consumption of plant-based products. As per the data published by Veganuary, a nonprofit organization encouraging people to become vegan for the whole month of January, ~5.8 million people signed up for the "Veganuary Campaign" in 2021.

Plant protein is added to plant-based products, including meat substitutes and dairy alternatives, to fulfill the nutritional requirements. Pea protein is a popular choice of plant protein in meat alternatives due to its high protein content, low saturated fat, and high fiber content. Plant proteins such as pea, soy, almonds, and other ingredients give the end product beany, bitter, cardboardy, and chalky tastes. There might also be unpleasant perceptions around aroma, astringency, and mouthfeel. Kerry Group, Synergy Flavors, and Glanbia are among the well-established brands offering flavor masking agents for plant-based products.

Flavor masking agents are highly used in plant-based products to give the desired flavor and taste. Thus, increasing demand for plant-based products among consumers owing to their associated health benefits is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the flavor masking agents market during the forecast period.
