Polyphenol Market Trends

• 
  

  Promoting natural food pigments on a wide scale drives market growth.

  
  

As customers opt for cleaner, simpler food labeling and alternatives to synthetic additives, the market for natural food colorants is expanding significantly. Furthermore, the market's expansion is further aided by support from numerous governments and local and international organizations. The main polyphenol pigments that give flowers and fruits their colors (such as orange, red, blue, or purple), anthocyanins, are followed by other polyphenols like various aurones and chalcone derivatives. Using polyphenols as a food additive is strongly encouraged in the food business to enhance natural food coloring. As a result, several groups worldwide are positively promoting the market. These organizations are devoting their basic principles to increasing the consumption of natural food colorants across industries, which will help the industry under study even more. Thus, driving the polyphenol market revenue.

The expansion of the polyphenol market is primarily driven by increasing consumer demand for natural and clean-label additives. In 2018, approximately 60% of customers worldwide said they wanted to eat products devoid of artificial colors, while 54% stressed using natural colors on the product, according to a report published by the Natural Food Colours Association. Demand for goods containing polyphenols is driven by the rising prevalence of lifestyle diseases brought on by sedentary behavior and poor dietary choices. For instance, the USC for Disease Control and Prevention has referred to diabetes as a silent killer. According to the diabetes data report, adults in low- and middle-income nations have an undiagnosed diabetes rate of four out of five. In addition, the WHO reports that 2019 diabetes ranked as the ninth greatest cause of mortality, directly contributing to an estimated 1.5 million deaths.

Increasing plant-based polyphenol utilization in water is anticipated to present considerable growth prospects for the key stakeholders. For instance, PLANT+WATER by Buxton, water infused with plant polyphenols, was introduced by Buxton Natural Mineral Water in July 2020. Spring water, plant polyphenols extracted from green coffee beans, magnesium, natural fruit and herb flavors were combined to make the functional drink. There are three flavor options for Buxton's PLANT+ WATER: lemon, lime, and sage; pomegranate and basil; and blood orange and rosemary.
