  • ID: 6010065
In 2023, the global food additives market reached a value of $77.2 billion and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% from 2024 to the end of 2029, reaching $106.8 billion by the end of 2029. North America led the market in 2023, driven by growing demand for processed food products, and is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% through 2029, reaching $33.9 billion.

The demand for food additives is fueled by a growing consumer preference for natural additives and an increasing interest in more intricate and authentic flavors. The expanding production of processed foods is resulting in a rise in the use of food additives, as these products typically require extra ingredients to improve their taste. Furthermore, the expanding availability of packaged food items and consumers’ willingness to experiment with new flavors also contribute to this growth.
