Market Trends of Canada Food Colorants Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Canada Food Colorants Market according to our research experts:
Labeling Regulations Driving Natural Colorants Demand
Stringent regulations laid out by the government has led manufacturers to deploy practices of using less sugar/sweetener and imparting more of natural colors rather than synthetic. For instance, by 2021, brands must call out all sugar-based ingredients in brackets after the listing of 'sugar'. Additionally, the CFIA is urging manufacturers to be more transparent about colors. The upcoming amendments will also require food companies to list colors by their specific names. Such initiatives have laid out multiple opportunities for natural color extract manufacturers to compete within the industry, and along with seeking different sources as options to ease the imminent demand for natural colors.
