North America Food Antimicrobial & Antioxidants Market Analysis
The North American food antimicrobial and antioxidants market was valued at USD 697.83 million in 2020, and it is projected to reach a CAGR of 4.92% during the forecast period of 2021-2026.
The COVID-19 pandemic created opportunities for many private players to emerge in the markets to cater to the inflated demand for food products, benefitting the manufacturers of food ingredients, including additives. The need for innovative snack products was consistently high in developed countries due to the associated convenience of storing, usage, and rapid nutrition and energy consumption.
Over the medium term in North America, the demand for natural ingredients spurred the clean-label trend, driving food and beverage manufacturers to find clean label alternatives to replace synthetically derived antioxidants and antimicrobial additives. This shift encourages food manufacturing giants, such as General Mills and Kellogg's, to remove synthetic antioxidants from staple products like cereals and sources for holistic and natural shelf-life extension solutions.
The application of natural food antioxidants and antimicrobial additives helped the food manufacturers narrow the gap between the clean label solution and extended shelf life in meat and meat products, such as pork sausages. Flavor sensitivity is an important factor to address when determining the course of action for extending shelf life with a natural solution in various food products, including meat products.
