The Global Market for Food Colours

Food and drinks manufacturers across the world are turning in greater numbers towards natural colourings for inclusion within their products, as consumers increasingly shun foodstuffs containing artificial ingredients and additives. The trend is driving demand for colouring foodstuffs, which are coming into favour since they are not classed as additives and therefore require no E number. The food industry accounts for more than two-thirds of the world market for food colours, ahead of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages.

The Global Market for Food Colours is a new publication from Leatherhead Food Research. The report analyses both natural and synthetic colours, as well as the growing colouring foodstuffs sector, examining sales of food colours by both region and application. Also included are profiles of many of the world’s leading suppliers, as well as a review of significant regulatory and technical trends.
