The rising awareness regarding these factors in the past few years has led to a significant rise in the global consumption of anthocyanins and is expected to be a key driver of the market over the forecast period as well. Additionally, the global anthocyanins market is expected to be driven owing to the steady growth witnessed by the market across developing countries such as India, Brazil, China, Indonesia, and Argentina, in the past few years.

Difficulty in Processing Natural Food Colors Acts as Key Constraint to Growth

Anthocyanins are natural colorants and, like most colorants extracted purely from natural sources, are particularly difficult to work with. The raw materials used for extracting anthocyanins are more expensive as compared to the raw materials used for extracting artificial colorants. Anthocyanins also lack color intensity commonly found in synthetic colors. Synthetic colors also compete well with anthocyanins when it comes to maintaining the vibrancy of color when subject to complex manufacturing and processing across a number of applications.

Furthermore, the lack of a wide pallet of operational colors and the stringent guidelines pertaining to the use of food additives across several countries are posing challenge to the growth of the global anthocyanins market. These factors are expected to collectively impede the overall growth prospects of the market to a notable extent over the forecast period.
