全球著色劑市場（2025-2031年）

向天然色素的轉移創造變革性的成長機會

顏色在提升食品飲料產品的吸引力、在競爭激烈的市場中區分品牌以及塑造消費者認知方面發揮關鍵作用。

全球色素原料市場正經歷強勁的收入成長，其主要驅動力是產品優質化和價格上漲，而非單純的銷售成長。高價值天然色素的日益普及、不斷變化的法規環境以及對功能性成分的需求，都是推動盈利因素。天然色素市場的特點是萃取、配方和穩定性技術的不斷進步。為了滿足食品生產商和終端消費者不斷變化的需求，各公司正致力於提高色素濃度、改善pH值、熱穩定性和光穩定性，並加強合規性，推動天然色素市場的成長。然而，監管審查的加強、配方師更加重視用天然色素改良含有合成成分的產品，以及消費者對潔淨標示產品的需求不斷成長，預計將會減緩對合成色素的需求，尤其是在北美和歐洲等已開發市場。

儘管食品飲料應用領域預計將引領色素配料市場，但營養補充劑和嬰幼兒營養品領域雖然市場佔有率較小，但由於色素在這些應用領域市場滲透率不斷提高，預計其成長速度將最快。在食品飲料領域，飲料領域由於消費量大且對視覺吸引力的需求，佔據了色素需求的大部分，其次是烘焙糖果和乳製品領域。

從區域來看，歐洲在天然色素的應用方面處於領先地位，因為歐洲優先考慮潔淨標示產品。北美也是一個重要的色素市場，其色素使用正從色素轉向天然色素。亞太地區對兩種色素的需求都很強勁，同時對潔淨標示的興趣也不斷成長。拉丁美洲和中東及非洲地區天然色素的應用呈現上升趨勢，但這些地區的需求仍以合成色素為主。

研究期間為2022年至2031年，以2024年為基準年，2025年至2031年為預測期。

The Transition to Natural Colors is Unlocking Transformative Growth Opportunities

Colors play a vital role in enhancing the product appeal of food and beverages, differentiating brands in the highly competitive market and shaping consumer perceptions.

The global color ingredients market is experiencing robust revenue growth, primarily driven by premiumization and price increases rather than sheer volume expansion. The rising use of high-value natural colorants, regulatory shifts, and functional ingredient demand are fueling profitability. Continuous advancements in extraction technologies, formulation techniques, and stability improvement techniques are characterizing the natural color ingredients market. Companies are focusing on higher pigment concentrations and improved pH, heat, and light stability, as well as increased regulatory compliance, to meet the evolving needs of food manufacturers and end-consumers, which support the growth of the natural colors market. However, with growing regulatory scrutiny, formulators' increasing focus on reformulation of products containing synthetic ingredients with natural colors, and growing consumer demand for clean-label products, the demand for synthetic colors is expected to slow down, especially in developed markets, such as North America and Europe.

The F&B application category predominantly drives the color ingredients market, while dietary supplements and infant nutrition hold small shares but are expected to register the fastest growth due to the increasing market penetration of colors in these application segments. Among food and beverages, the beverage segment accounts for a significant share of color demand due to its high volume and visual appeal needs, followed by bakery and dairy.

Geographically, Europe leads in natural color adoption, as the region prioritizes clean-label products. North America is another major color ingredient market and is witnessing a shift from synthetics to natural colors. APAC shows strong demand for both, with rising clean-label interest. LATAM and MEA are witnessing growing adoption of natural colors; however, demand for synthetic colors still dominates in these regions.

The study period is from 2022 to 2031, with 2024 as the base year and 2025 to 2031 as the forecast period.

Scope of Analysis

• The research assesses growth opportunities for colors in the food and beverage (F&B), dietary supplements, and infant nutrition industries.
• The study's geographic scope is global and includes the following regions:
  • North America: The United States and Canada
  • Europe: European Economic Area and European Trade Association states, including the United Kingdom
  • Asia-Pacific (APAC): China, Japan, South Korea, and the rest of APAC, including India, Australia, New Zealand, Association of Southeast Asian Nations countries (Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines), and South Asian countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal)
  • Latin America (LATAM): All LATAM countries, including Mexico
  • Middle East and Africa (MEA): Africa and all Middle Eastern countries, including Turkey
• The study analyzes the color ingredients market by type and application.
  • Type: Natural colors (anthocyanin, betalains, carotenoid, curcumin, carmine, caramel, other natural colors, and inorganic colors) and synthetic colors.
  • Application: F&B (beverages, bakery, dairy, confectionery, meat and meat analogs, sauces and condiments, and other food products); dietary supplements; and infant nutrition.
• Color houses play a pivotal role in the colors value chain. They blend different color ingredients and customize products with improved solubility, stability, performance, and regulatory compliance, while also providing customers with a broad palette of color shades. These activities add significant value and deliver higher margins. Most Tier 1 color ingredient manufacturers also act as color houses. Accordingly, this study includes revenues from both single color ingredients and blended color solutions. In addition, the terms ""color ingredients,"" ""colors,"" or ""colorants"" are used interchangeably throughout the study.
• The scope includes colors sold in hotel, restaurant, and catering (HORECA) services, but it does not separately quantify estimates.
