The US food additives market size is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing geriatric population.
Food additives are chemicals or components that are added to food to improve taste, flavor, color, nutritional quality, texture, and preservation properties. Food producers are their primary end-users, while fast food, packaged food, and beverages are the most common application categories for food additives. Natural food additives may be extracted or chemical compounds can be manufactured to make food additives.
Nearly 30% of the processed food business is made up of established markets in North American economies. The United States controls more than 65 per cent of the North American market. Sugar substitutes are food additives that are used to replicate the taste of sugar while consuming less energy. Artificially produced chemicals make up the bulk of sugar replacements authorized for use in food. However, certain natural sugar replacements such as sorbitol and xylitol, which may be found in berries, fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms, are well-known.
In industrialized nations, food retail is a fiercely competitive sector. Increased consumer access to processed and convenience foods is raising the demand for food additives in the food and beverage sector in the United States, thanks to an increase in the number of shops, retail channels, and formats. While offering consumers competitive prices, quality, and services, the organized retail sector exposes consumers to label information, and quality comparisons with both private labels and branded products are increasing the US retail food industry.
