The fast-paced working lifestyle of consumers in North America and Asia Pacific has been instrumental in driving the demand for ready-to-eat products.

Food preservation is a traditional method used to store and keep food safe for longer periods. Over the time, the method has evolved from the usage of culinary salt, sugar, to chemical types. Globalization has led to increased demand for the synthetic types. The usage of preservatives in various applications sectors including processed meat, bakery, and dairy is expected to foresee substantial growth in terms of revenue over the forecast period.

Food preservatives are categorized into two types, namely, natural and synthetic. Rosemary extracts, vinegar, and natamycin are natural types, whereas propionates, benzoates, and sorbates are included in synthetic type, which are the most preferred ones.
