Nature Insights

The synthetic segment accounted for a revenue share of 65.8% in 2024. Cost-effectiveness and wider availability of flavors are key factors contributing to the surge in demand for synthetic flavors. Synthetic flavors are significantly cheaper than natural ones, making them attractive to manufacturers. Their demand is higher, especially in price-sensitive segments such as snacks, candies, and beverages. High demand for synthetic flavors in mass-produced and processed foods is also driving the growth of the Mexican flavors industry.

The natural segment is projected to experience the fastest CAGR of 6.5% from 2025 to 2033. Increasing health consciousness among consumers and changing lifestyles are expected to favor the demand for convenience foods with clean labels.

Form Insight

The powder segment accounted for the largest revenue share of the market in 2024 and is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2025 to 2033. Factors such as convenience, portability, longer shelf life, and versatility across applications are driving the growth of this segment. Powdered flavor products such as instant drink mixes and spice blends fit well in fast-paced urban lifestyles as they are extremely easy to store, transport, and prepare. These powders are widely used in beverages, snacks, and cooking kits, enabling consistent flavor delivery across diverse categories.

The liquid/gel segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. Instant application and the high solubility of the products are expected to drive the growth of this segment. Liquid and gel formats also offer benefits such as easy integration and uniformity. These flavor formats dissolve quickly and blend well into beverages, sauces, and dressings, making them ideal for instant beverage mixes, RTDs, and culinary sauces.

Application Insights

The food segment accounted for the largest revenue share of the market in 2024. Rising demand for authentic and regional flavors and expansion of processed and packaged food formats are driving the growth of the food segment.
