Drivers: Growing demand for natural food additives and increasing consumers awareness about clean-label products

Increase in consumer awareness about the ill effects of the consumption of chemical ingredients and the presence of natural or organic ingredients as alternatives in the market drive the demand for natural fruit & vegetable additives. “Additive-free” and “natural” have become part of a consumer’s checklist while buying food & beverage products.

Ingredient labelling has become mandatory in developed economies such as the US and EU countries due to the rising consumer awareness. Consumers look for natural ingredients and products that taste good and have fewer calories. Although artificial or non-organic ingredients have found approval among consumers and have gained a significant market presence, there is a need to replace these artificial ingredients with natural alternatives.

The demand for natural food additives is increasing, owing to which manufacturers are launching various products with natural ingredients that can provide an advantage to drive consumption. As lecithin, a type of food emulsifier, is of natural origin, it is poised to witness an increase in adoption by the industry, thereby driving its market growth.

By application, feed is the largest segment in lecithin market in 2021.

The feed segment is estimated to dominate the lecithin market in 2022. This segment is estimated to be the largest, and this trend is expected to continue through the forecast period owing to factors such as a shift in preference to protein-rich diets in emerging economies such as China and increasing demand for soy lecithin in the feed segment. Moreover, fluid lecithin works as a milk replacer where the feed is administered in liquid form to the animals.

By nature, GMO is the largest segment in lecithin market in 2021.

The GMO segment is estimated to dominate the lecithin market in 2022. GM oilseeds such as soybean, sunflower, and rapeseed are used for extracting lecithin, a natural emulsifier utilized in various industries. Today, 90% of commercially available lecithin is extracted from soy and sunflower. Lecithin has a dual function in food as an emulsifier and healthy ingredient. Because of its lipid-friendly and hydrophilic properties, lecithin is used in many foods and other areas of the industry.
