The global flavors and fragrances market size is estimated to reach USD 57.52 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is majorly driven by the rising demand for natural products and aroma chemicals from the personal care & cosmetics products and food & beverages industries. The global industry for fragrances & flavors is expected to register remarkable growth over the forecast period owing to the increasing product demand in toiletries, cosmetics, beverages, and food application industries. The increasing use of flavors in the pharmaceutical, dietary supplements, and nutraceutical sectors is also projected to augment industry growth.
The health & wellness trend in the industry is expected to magnify the preference for natural flavor ingredients. Growing disposable income levels in emerging economies are also anticipated to augment the product demand for soaps & detergents, perfumes, toiletries, and cosmetics. Natural products are considered therapeutic, healthy, and safe. Manufacturers of natural fragrances often charge a “green premium” on their products. The demand for synthetic ones is also expected to rise, as they emit strong fragrances, offer greater freedom of creativity to manufacturers, and are long-lasting. Moreover, synthetic products are less expensive as compared to natural products.
The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the global industry on account of the supply chain disruptions, complete & partial lockdown of manufacturing facilities, and lack of availability of labor as well as raw materials. Countries around the world had to restrict global trade due to which, imports and export were affected. However, since the first half of 2021, countries rapidly adjusted their economies and kept the agriculture and food industries in focus, thus stabilizing the industry growth. New product launches, a growing number of retail stores, and economic prices of convenience food and personal care products are also expected to be highly influential factors contributing to the industry’s growth
