Market Overview

The food Preservative Market Size Will significantly Grow At a CAGR of 4.3% By Forecast Period (2016-2026).
 
Food spoilage is a common issue faced daily, and most of the spoilage occurs due to microorganisms or enzymatic reactions. Preservatives, also termed as food preservatives, are chemical substances added to products such as beverages, oils and fats, and others to prevent the decomposition caused by chemicals or micro-organisms. For instance, sodium benzoate is one of the synthetic additives widely used in the food industry. It is the sodium salt of benzoic acid used against bacteria, fungi, and others. According to ‘The Chemical Company’, about 139,000 tons of benzoic acid is synthesized each year for its use in different industries.

The growing concern among people regarding health and increased preference towards the adoption of packaged foodstuffs is the primary factor driving food preservative market growth. It is added in small quantities for improving and maintaining the freshness of food products along with flavor, taste, and aroma.

The increasing adoption of natural preservatives on meat and poultry products is expected to augment food preservative market growth during the forecast period. In January 2017, Arjuna Natural Extracts launched a natural preservative ‘X-tend’ to increase the shelf-life of chilled meat products and assure food safety.

Momentous market opportunities for food processing industries in developing economies such as China, India, and others are also fuelling food preservative market growth. Rising disposable income and today’s lifestyles with time constraints have led to the adoption of frozen food products such as vegetables, fish, meat, and others. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in 2015, the food processing market in India accounted for 32% of the country’s total food market. Additionally, favorable initiatives adopted by the government are also expected to drive food preservative market growth. For instance, in 2015, ITC Limited announced its decision to start a food processing unit in Telangana with an investment of USD 117.4 million.
