Flavors refer to additive compounds that are widely used to enhance the smell and taste of numerous products ranging from confectionery items to health supplements. Based on the derivates, flavors are categorized into nature identical, artificial, and natural variants. Some of the commonly used natural ingredients of flavors include spices, herbs, barks, flowers, etc., whereas chemical additives comprise of ethyl maltol, diacetyl, ethyl propionate, etc. Flavors are extensively utilized in baked goods, dairy products, beverages, packaged snack items, pharmaceuticals, etc. Apart from this, they are also adopted for non-food applications, including personal care products, cosmetics, pet food, animal feed, etc.

India Flavors Market Trends:

The expanding food processing industry, along with the increasing demand for packaged, ready-to-eat food items and beverages, is primarily driving the India flavors market. Moreover, the rising utilization of flavoring ingredients in bakery and confectionery items, ice-creams, smoothies, energy drinks, etc., is also propelling the market growth in the country. Additionally, the elevating levels of urbanization and increasing penetration of numerous western food trends are further augmenting the demand for flavoring agents. The escalating popularity of processed and shelf-stable food products, such as noodles, soups, cake mix, RTD tea and coffee, juices, etc., particularly among the millennial consumers, is catalyzing the market for flavors in India. Besides this, the introduction of several stringent norms by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regarding the quality of flavors used in processed food products is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the elevating number of quick-service restaurants (QSRs) and the emerging café culture are further bolstering the demand for flavors. Moreover, the rising consumer concerns towards the negative health impact of chemical-based flavoring agents are propelling the adoption of natural ingredients-based flavors. In line with this, the emergence of various healthier product variants, including vegan and organic flavors, that contain 100% plant-based derivatives is expected to drive the India flavors market in the coming years.
