There’s more to colours than meets the eye

As customers become more health-conscious, their demand for organic and natural foods will expand rapidly. Conversely, the emphasis on health and well-being has slowed sales of artificial food colourants. With the globe still struggling from the pandemic's aftereffects, natural, organic, and healthy eating has taken centre stage.

  • Consumers’ CHOICE

    Customers pay particular attention to the ingredients list used in the production of food items, especially if they are intended for children.

  • MARKET TREND

    The share of packaged foods that are coloured naturally has been on a steady uptrend for the past several years.

  • INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

    The breadth of natural food colour choices available today helps brands meet consumer expectations more responsibly.

  • CHANGING FACE OF MARKET

    Businesses have seen a huge increase in demand for natural food colours. Due to the rise in health consciousness and food adulteration, consumers' propensity for clean-label products has been rising. Customers prefer to read product labels before making any purchases, which is a major factor in the rising popularity of natural food colours.

  • NEW INNOVATION

    In order to achieve the clean labelling that the market is demanding more and more, food manufacturers today have a lot of room to innovate through the use of colour from fruits and vegetables in their goods.
