The growing number of companies offering natural and nature-identical food colors, rising consumer demand for organic products, a shift toward clean-label food products, and improvements in microencapsulation technology for natural colors contribute to the segment’s dominant position in the food colors market.

Additionally, the growing consumer preference for clean-label products and more stringent regulations regarding chemical additives in food are encouraging manufacturers to use natural plant-based colors to adhere to safety standards, supporting the segment’s large market share. 

Among the food color forms studied in this report, in 2024, the liquid segment is expected to dominate the food colors market. The advantages associated with liquid food colors, including improved shelf life and visual appeal, enhanced viscosity, and better mouthfeel and texture, contribute to the segment’s dominant position in the food colors market.
