Spain Food Colorants Market Analysis
The Spain Food Colorants Market is expected to register a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period.
- The market is majorly driven by its extensive use in each processed food sector of food and beverage industries, which include beverages, bakery, confectionery, dairy, oils, fats, spices, and others, as its main purpose is to bring back the food color that is lost during the process of preparation. In Spain, food colors are regulated as food additives, under a comprehensive set of regulations, for food improvement agents, and the country has 39 colors authorized as color additives, for usage in foods, according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
- However, the high cost of natural food colors, which is on high demand; and awareness on ill-health effects of a few of the synthetic food colors are few of the factors restraining the market growth.

Rising Demand for Natural Food Colorants
Increasing awareness about the implications of synthetic colorants has created a demand for natural colorants. The health-enhancing properties of natural colors combined with the low- trans-fat content in natural products are also boosting their appeal.

Furthermore, innovation in natural food colors to mitigate the application challenges faced by the food industry is one of the key approaches adopted by the companies so as to meet the propelling consumer demand. However, the main constrains of the industry are the high cost of production, chemical instability due to fluctuating temperature/pH conditions, and increased regulations.
