Global Savory Ingredients Market

Growth Drivers 

Increasing Use of Savory Ingredients in a Diverse Range of Products

The cost-effective savory ingredients have inspired the manufacturers to use them as stabilizers, thickening agents, and emulsifiers in numerous food products. The increasing demand also pushes the market for yeast extracts, natural ingredients made from yeast to manufacture wine, bread, and beer. They are rich in vitamin B complex, amino acids, and valuable nucleotides and are chiefly used as flavor enhancers. Furthermore, the attractive packaging, high-pressure processing, pasteurization, and UV treatment have fueled the growth of the food & beverage industry. By augmenting the shelf life of packaged food products. All these factors have led to the higher demand for savory ingredients, which has propelled the market growth.

Surging Demand for Packaged Foods which are Key End-Users of Savory Ingredients

Over the last decades, demand for packaged and frozen food products has skyrocketed. These packaged foods, such as meat- & fish-based food products, snack products, and others like confectionery products, dairy, and bakery products, are the major end-users of savory ingredients, so their increasing demand should propel the demand for savory ingredients as well. The fast-paced urbanization, the growing influence of the Western food habits, coupled with an increment in the purchasing power of the consumers in the emerging countries of the Asia-Pacific region, including China, India, and Indonesia, are altogether responsible for augmenting the demand for the flavor enhancer and shelf-life extending-based products. Thus, these factors are anticipated to remarkably influence the growth of the market in the global arena during the forecast period 2022-2028.

Growth Restraint

Stringent Government Regulations

Many instances of adverse effects of manufactured food products have been reported, mainly due to the flavoring agents used in them. Consequently, different governments worldwide have set up rigorous regulatory guidelines to regulate the global food flavor market. These regulations, especially in North America and Europe, have led to lethargic growth of the market, chiefly synthetic flavors. There are guidelines regarding the raw materials, their dispensation, ingredients used, as well as labeling of these products. Therefore, the implementation of stringent government regulations concerning the use of savory ingredients is expected to restrain the growth of the savory ingredients market forecast period 2022-2028.

Impact Of COVID-19 On Global Savory Ingredients Market.

The repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic that engulfed the world at the start of 2020 positively affected the global savory ingredients market. Governments worldwide imposed lockdowns, thus prisoning the world in quarantine into their own houses. As a result, people started hoarding packaged foods due to the uncertainty throughout the lockdowns and the low availability of fresh food products. The rising consumption of packaged food, in turn, had a positive impact on the savory ingredients market as well. Moreover, the second phase of the coronavirus lockdown observed a substantial shift in buying patterns of consumers ranging from basic necessities to high-value items like frozen desserts, packaged meats, and others. According to retailers like Future Group and Metro, there has been a hike in demand for packaged foods like noodles, biscuits, thus, in turn, driving the growth rate of the global savory ingredients market.

Global Savory Ingredients Market– By Type

Based on the type, the global savory ingredients market has been segmented into the following segmentations: yeast extract, starch, protein, monosodium glutamate (MSG), nucleotides, and others. Amidst the segmentation, the monosodium glutamate segment accounted for the larger share in the savory ingredients market in 2021. This can be ascribed to the cost-effectiveness and extensive application areas of MSG in food as well as feed applications. MSG is a sodium salt of glutamic acid, which is the most commonly used savory ingredient. It is added to food to improve the sugary or salty flavor, even on itself being tasteless. MSG is extensively used in spice mixes, frozen foods, salad dressings, canned & dry soups, and meat as well as fish-based products.

Global Savory Ingredients Market – By Application

The global savory ingredients market can be segmented into food and feedstuff based on the application. Amidst the segmentation, the food segment dominated the global savory ingredient market. This is attributable to the high consumption of savory ingredients, such as MSG as well as yeast extracts, in numerous food applications, like packaged snacks and frozen meals. The growing consumption of natural savory ingredients with the rising demand for free-from and clean label products is expected to propel the market for savory ingredients in the food industry.

Global Savory Ingredients Market – Regional Insights

Based on regions, the global savory ingredients market has been segmented into five categories- North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa. Amidst the segmentation, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for the largest market share in 2021. Moreover, this trend is likely to continue over the forecast period 2022-2028. The processed food industry in the Asia-Pacific region is undergoing fast growth due to the changes in lifestyles as well an upsurge in disposable income levels of the population. The processed food market in the region is presently undergoing energetic changes in response to fast urbanization, liberalization in the food sector, and diet diversification. The emerging economies in Asia-Pacific are assessed to constitute more than 60% of the global middle-class population of today’s global population. Thus, the surge in the middle-class population is likely to enhance the demand for snacks as well as packaged food products, thereby supplementing the growth of the market.
