Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Presentation and definition of the market for food flavourings
A food flavouring is an ingredient that provides a specific taste and/or odour to the food into which it is incorporated in very small doses.
According to the forecast, the global flavouring market will grow at a sustained rate of 4.8% per year between 2020 and 2025 . This increase is driven by emerging countries, with Asia already representing the leading consumer continent for food flavorings, but also South America, which is expected to experience the strongest growth over this period. France is not excluded from this dynamic, on the contrary since the national market grew by 56% in value between 2011 and 2018 and continues to grow year after year, despite a slowdown in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The main players in the market are the manufacturers of food flavourings, including the Swiss Givaudan and Firmenich the American IFF the Japanese Takasago International or the French Mane and Robertet .
The French aromatic market is mainly marked by the consumer's attraction to naturalness . This trend is leading to a strong interest in natural flavours, which are sought after both for their health and environmental benefits and also for their ability to add flavour to a modern cuisine that is very healthy and natural.
