全球着色剂市场（2025-2031年）

向天然色素的转变正在创造变革性的成长机会

颜色在提升食品饮料产品的吸引力、在竞争激烈的市场中区分品牌以及塑造消费者认知方面发挥关键作用。

全球色素原料市场正经历强劲的收入成长，其主要驱动力是产品优质化和价格上涨，而非单纯的销售成长。高价值天然色素的日益普及、不断变化的法规环境以及对功能性成分的需求，都是推动盈利因素。天然色素市场的特点是萃取、配方和稳定性技术的不断进步。为了满足食品生产商和终端消费者不断变化的需求，各公司正致力于提高色素浓度、改善pH值、热稳定性和光稳定性，并加强合规性，从而推动天然色素市场的成长。然而，监管审查的加强、配方师更加重视用天然色素改良含有合成成分的产品，以及消费者对洁净标示产品的需求不断增长，预计将会减缓对合成色素的需求，尤其是在北美和欧洲等已开发市场。

儘管食品饮料应用领域预计将引领色素配料市场，但营养补充剂和婴幼儿营养品领域虽然市场份额较小，但由于色素在这些应用领域市场渗透率不断提高，预计其增长速度将最快。在食品饮料领域，饮料领域由于消费量大且对视觉吸引力的需求，占据了色素需求的大部分，其次是烘焙糖果和乳製品领域。

从区域来看，欧洲在天然色素的应用方面处于领先地位，因为欧洲优先考虑洁净标示产品。北美也是一个重要的色素市场，其色素使用正从色素转向天然色素。亚太地区对两种色素的需求都很强劲，同时对洁净标示的兴趣也不断增长。拉丁美洲和中东及非洲地区天然色素的应用呈现上升趋势，但这些地区的需求仍以合成色素为主。

研究期间为 2022 年至 2031 年，以 2024 年为基准年，2025 年至 2031 年为预测期。

分析范围

• 本研究评估了食品饮料 (F&B)、营养保健品和婴幼儿营养产业中色素的成长机会。
• 本研究的地理范围为全球，包括以下地区：
  • 北美洲：美国和加拿大
  • 欧洲：欧洲经济区（EEA）和欧洲自由贸易联盟（EFTA）成员国（包括英国）
  • 亚太地区（APAC）：中国、日本、韩国以及亚太地区的其他国家（印度、澳洲、纽西兰、东协成员国：印尼、泰国、新加坡、马来西亚、菲律宾以及南亚国家：巴基斯坦、孟加拉、斯里兰卡、尼泊尔）。
  • 拉丁美洲（LATAM）：所有拉丁美洲国家，包括墨西哥
  • 中东和非洲（MEA）：包括土耳其在内的非洲和中东国家
• 本研究以类型和应用分析颜料原料市场。
  • 类型：天然色素（花青素、甜菜碱、类胡萝卜素、姜黄素、胭脂红、焦糖色、其他天然色素、无机色素）和合成色素。
  • 用途：食品和饮料（饮料、烘焙产品、乳製品、糖果甜点、肉类和肉类替代品、酱料和调味品、其他食品）、营养补充剂、婴儿食品。
• 色浆公司在色素价值链中扮演着至关重要的角色。它们配製各种着色原料，客製化产品以提高溶解性、稳定性、性能和合规性，并为客户提供丰富的色彩选择。这些活动创造了显着的附加价值，并带来了高利润率。许多主要的原色原料生产商同时也是色浆公司。因此，本研究涵盖了单色原料和混合色浆的收入。需要注意的是，本研究中「着色原料」、「颜料」和「色素」这几个术语可以互换使用。
• 本研究的范围还包括出售给饭店、餐厅和餐饮服务 (HORECA) 的项圈，但并未单独估计值。

三大策略问题对色彩原物料产业的影响

变革性大趋势

• 背景
  • 全球食用色素市场正在经历重大变革时期。
  • 欧洲长期以来一直是监管合成食用色素的先驱，但北美现在正在迅速追赶，美国政府计划在 2027 年前禁止几种主要的合成食用色素。
  • 如果这项变革得以实现，并在「让美国再次健康」倡议的引领下，将在预测期内推动向洁净标示、天然色素解决方案的更广泛转变。
• 弗罗斯特的观点
  • 随着北美地区对人工色素的监管日益严格，世界各地的食品和配料生产商都必须为这一大趋势做好准备。
  • 配方变更延迟、天然替代品供应有限以及违规可能威胁产品创新、市场进入和品牌价值。

颠覆性技术

• 原因
  • 颠覆性技术正在重塑食品色素市场，使合成色素成为永续、天然且更稳定的替代方案。
  • 微胶囊化和乳化技术的创新提高了颜色稳定性，同时，对洁净标示和永续性的要求也使得人们对焦糖色素和二氧化钛的天然替代品产生了更大的兴趣。
  • 以 Phytolon 等公司主导的精准发酵技术，可以大规模生产甜菜碱等鲜艳的色素。
• 弗罗斯特的观点
  • 企业必须时时警惕可能重塑食品色素市场的颠覆性创新。
  • 未能适应洁净标示替代品等进步可能会导致重大挫折、市场份额损失和消费者信心下降。
  • 在快速变化的环境中，积极投资创新和产品改良对于保持竞争力至关重要。

竞争加剧

• 原因
  • 併购导致了市场整合加剧、市场集中度提高以及主要企业之间竞争加剧。例如，奇华顿收购了DDW和Naturex，奥特拉收购了SCENA Natural Ingredients和其他三家公司。

附录与后续步骤

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.

The Impact of the Top 3 Strategic Imperatives on the Color Ingredients Industry

Transformative Megatrends

• Why
  • The global food colors market is undergoing a significant transformation.
  • Europe has long been a frontrunner in regulating synthetic food dyes, and now North America is swiftly catching up, with the US government planning to ban several key synthetic food dyes by 2027.
  • Spearheaded by the Make America Healthy Again initiative, this shift, if realized, will fuel a broader transition toward clean-label, natural color solutions during the forecast period.
• Frost Perspective
  • Global food and ingredient companies must prepare for this megatrend as North America enforces stricter regulations on synthetic dyes.
  • Delayed action on reformulation, limited access to natural alternatives, and compliance failures could threaten product innovation, market access, and brand equity.

Disruptive Technologies

• Why
  • Disruptive technologies are reshaping the food colors market by enabling sustainable, natural, and more stable alternatives to synthetic dyes.
  • Innovations in microencapsulation and emulsification are enhancing color stability, while natural replacements for caramel color and titanium dioxide are gaining traction, driven by clean-label and sustainability demands.
  • Precision fermentation, led by Phytolon (among others), is producing vibrant pigments such as betalains at scale.
• Frost Perspective
  • Companies must stay alert to disruptive innovations reshaping the food colors market.
  • Failing to adapt to advancements such as clean-label alternatives could lead to significant setbacks, loss of market share, and declining consumer trust.
  • Proactive investment in innovation and reformulation is critical to remaining competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Competitive Intensity

• Why
  • Consolidation through mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is increasing market concentration and intensifying rivalry among top participants. Examples include Givaudan's acquisition of DDW and Naturex, as well as Oterra's acquisition of SCENA Natural Ingredients and 3 other companies.
  • Price competition is mounting, especially in high-volume categories such as beverages and confectionery.
• Frost Perspective
  • In the consolidated food colors market, stakeholders should prioritize value-added differentiation, such as innovative natural color offerings, to avoid price-based competition.
