The global natural flavors & fragrances market size is expected to reach USD 19,148.9 million by 2033, registering a CAGR of 6.4% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is majorly driven by the increasing awareness about the adverse effects caused by artificial as well as synthetic products used in the cosmetics and food & beverages industry. In addition, the availability of natural products as an alternative is propelling the market growth. Natural flavors & fragrances are now widely accepted by industries like food & beverage, cosmetic & personal care, and pharmaceuticals. The growing population has been increasing the consumption of food & beverages, cosmetic & personal care products, and pharmaceuticals and is likely to further escalate the consumption in the near future. The global industry is anticipated to grow at a steady CAGR over the forecast period due to the presence of major players that are utilizing natural flavors & fragrances in their products.
Companies, such as BASF SE, Blue Pacific Flavours, Inc., BIOLANDES SAS, and Symrise AG, are some major manufacturers. Governments tend to be more flexible in the use of natural products over synthetic counterparts and provide elasticity in their use and consumption for various purposes. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many changes in the industry, such as the collapsed supply chain system and restrictions on transportation. Many large- and small-scale organizations had to shut down their production for several months during the pandemic. This factor slowed down the industry growth and limited production & supply. Furthermore, the outbreak led to the shutdown of hotels, restaurants, retail stores, and eateries, thereby lowering the consumption of natural flavors & fragrances in the food & beverage industry.
