Growing Trend of Natural Food Preservatives
Food preservatives are classified as natural and chemical preservatives, with chemical preservatives currently accounting for a large market share.

The Spanish preserves industry focuses on four types of food i.e. fish, vegetables, meat and fruit, and consumers are increasingly moving towards natural preservatives with limited reliance on chemicals. That being said, suppliers of natural food additives from developing countries are already targeting countries with a strong food manufacturing industry, such as Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Spain.
Meat, Poultry & Seafood Products will have high penetration of preservatives
The Spanish food-processing sector has a wide range of food processing companies, many of them importing food ingredients, that being said, the meat poultry and seafood products segment has a high level of dominance in the processed food segment citing strong consumption pattern from consumers. The country has also witnessed a growth of the private label segment within the food & beverage sector, which was brought down by the economic crisis, wherein products that are usually associated with lower prices, and away from branded products are gaining popularity.
On the other hand, the promotion of healthier lifestyles and habits is a renowned topic among consumers and within the trend towards staying young, fit, and healthy, consumers are increasingly buying healthy and functional foods, inclusive of those which are fortified with natural preservatives.
