Market Trends of UK Food Flavor and Enhancer Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the UK Food Flavor & Enhancer market according to our research experts:
Clean Label Holds Promising Future
For a country like the United Kingdom, consumers today are resourceful to identify the product formulation and the quality of ingredients used by the manufacturer. As the consumers learn more about their food and ingredients used during processing, they shape the products they want to find on the shelf. Moreover, the products with clean label claim, such as free-from, natural, and minimally processed, tend to most interest of the British consumers. As a result, the sales of products with clean label claims rose significantly, pulling the associated ingredient market from USD 1,333 million in 2016 to USD 1,529 million in 2019, in the United Kingdom.
Beverages Remained One Prominent Segment in the Market
In order to cater to the increasing demand for flavored carbonated beverage products, companies are increasingly focusing on making product lines based on tropical fruits and super fruits. This is driving the growth of the flavored beverage market. According to a recent study, British consumers spend almost GBP 1,500 in a year on beverage. Thus, the popularity of flavored premium spirits has been attracting the spirit companies to introduce new premium flavored drinks for the last couple of years. Also, the increasing popularity of premium mixers, as customers look for sophisticated options, is also driving the demand for food flavors for the alcoholic beverage industry.
