Flavor Systems Market by Type (Brown, Dairy, Herbs & Botanicals, Fruits & Vegetables), Application (Beverages, Savories & Snacks, Bakery & Confectionery Products, Dairy & Frozen Desserts), Source, Form, and Region - Global Forecast to 2023
[137 Pages Report] The flavor systems market is estimated to account for a value of USD 5.64 billion in 2018 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2018, to reach a value of USD 6.96 billion by 2023. Creation of novel flavors driven by favorable consumer reception and cross product usage of flavors are some of the key factors driving the growth of the flavor systems market.
By Source, the Nature-identical segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the flavor systems market during the forecast period.
Nature-identical substances are chemically identical to any substance that are naturally present in materials of plant and animal origins, and are therefore a more preferred choice, for both, manufacturers of end-products, and consumers alike. Most commercial flavorants are nature-identical substances, as these tend to be more stable in nature than natural flavoring extracts, while being a more cost-effective option, hence are projected to witness rapid growth in demand during the forecast period.
By application, the beverages segment is projected to dominate the flavor systems market during the forecast period.
Flavors of fruits & vegetables and spices are widely being utilized and blended with beverages such as coffee and chocolate shake to create a worming aroma and taste, and also to create a sweet and spicy warm fall flavor. Other flavors such as mint flavors are added in beverages to create refreshing flavor and aromatic taste. Such innovations and customization in beverage products and flavor variety in line with consumer demands, is projected to boost the growth for flavor enhancers in the beverage segment.
By type, brown segment is projected to dominate the flavor systems market during the forecast period.
Brown flavors are the most commonly used flavor variant, used across a number of applications. Brown flavors stand inclusive of flavors, such as, chocolate, coffee, nut, nougat, caramel, and vanilla. Additionally, they could also stand inclusive of a number of novel tastes, such as, egg-nog, salted caramel, brownie, that are optimized from chocolate, nougat, macademia, caramel, etc. Thus, due to its usages in wide variety of food and beverages application, brown flavor segment is projected dominate the global flavor systems market during the forecast period.
By form, liquid segment is projected to dominate the flavor systems market during the forecast period.
The major advantage associated with the usage of liquid flavor enhancers, is that these flavors can be easily mixed together, and will achieve a homogeneous distribution of each component in the finished flavor. Moreover, Liquid and water containing flavors can also be encapsulated following their conversion to semi-solid or pasty forms, to be used across a number of applications.
The increasing demand for flavor systems in the North American and European regions is driving the growth of the flavor systems market.
In Europe, the growth of flavor systems is attributed to the growth in the. Beverages, bakery and dairy & frozen desserts industry, with growing demand for flavor enhancers in confectionery products. Soft drinks, dairy products, frozen products, and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are the most innovative food sectors in the region, offering significant opportunities for the growth of flavoring systems. Furthermore, the growing consumption of bakery & confectionery products and savories & snack products, and the demand for their product variety has resulted in intensifying demand for flavor systems in these food products. The innovation in food applications, with the use of flavor systems in these industries, has resulted in new product development and increased consumption of flavor systems in different food applications in this region.
The demand for flavor systems in North America is driven by the increasing demand and creation of innovative flavor systems for processed food products as the region is among the largest consumers of processed food products. The market growth is further driven by the presence of a significant number of flavoring systems manufacturers in the region catering to the growing domestic as well as international market demand. Furthermore, the constantly evolving consumer demand for flavor varieties in end products together with the strategy of flavor systems market players to work in close proximity of their customers further aids the growth and development of the flavor systems market in the North American region.
