According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is Rise in demand for natural ingredients. With the increased focus on health and safety, people are becoming more concerned about the ingredients and composition of the food and beverages that they consume.

Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is Premium price of acerola extract. Acerola extract is obtained from acerola cherries, which are native to South and Central America. The high vitamin C content of acerola cherries is the major reason for the usage of acerola extract in different industries. Even though synthetic forms of vitamin C, like ascorbic acid, have been used since long in the food and beverage industry, the demand for and utilization of natural products like acerola extract has increased in recent times. However, the high price of acerola extract compared to its synthetic counterparts hinders the global market's growth.
