Market Growth Factors

Rising trend of veganism increases demand for exotic flavors

One of the major drivers of the market is customers' rising propensity for vegetarianism across the globe. Consumers are turning more and more toward veganism as a result of the excessive or frequent intake of meat as well as meat products. This is because meat and meat products contribute to a number of health problems. For vegans who like the taste of meat, meat tastes are emerging as a healthy alternative.Through foods like soup, sausage, quick noodles, ready-to-eat meals, baked goods, and many more products, meat flavors provide the consumers with both the taste and odor of meat. Hence, the rise in veganism directly influences the growth of the market in the coming years.

Rapid use of meat-based flavors in the food service industry

Food chains as well as restaurant menus are increasingly featuring flavorings that make foods more appetizing. The food service sector strives to offer clients fresh, cutting-edge cuisine. To make food look better, the hotel, restaurant, and catering (HoReCa) industry uses a variety of flavors and seasonings. A craving for meaty tastes without genuine meat has arisen due to the move to more plant-based substitutes. By employing meat tastes, specific cooking techniques are used to transform everyday foods into viable meat substitutes. These aspects are anticipated to increase the demand for and growth of market.

Market Restraining Factors

Enormous cost of meat-based products like flavors

The high cost of meat-based flavors is one of the main barriers preventing their increased demand. These goods are not affordable for customers from all socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, businesses are working hard to roll out affordable plant-based meat substitutes, which can further reduce the demand market share. Moreover, the cost of meat-based flavors also increases because of the numerous processes involved in their production. Concentration, extraction, and blending are complicated procedures for producing meat-based flavors. As a result, the cost of meat-based flavors may increase overall since adhering to these requirements frequently necessitates extra expenditures in quality control procedures, testing, and certifications.

Application Outlook

On the basis of application, the market is bifurcated into baked goods, soups & sauces, savory, ready meals, processed meat, and others. The soups and sauces segment garnered the highest revenue share in the market in 2022. As they are used to improve the texture and flavor of meat dishes and are utilized in a variety of ways, including stews and roasts, soups and sauces are crucial parts of the market. Demand for diverse meat-based soups in eateries and fast-food chains has increased as soup becomes a more popular meal on its own.

Type Outlook

Based on type, the market is segmented into natural meat flavor and artificial meat flavor. The artificial meat flavor segment witnessed a significant revenue share in the market in 2022. Chemicals or other ingredients are incorporated into meat products to create artificial meat flavors, which change the taste of the meat. They can mimic the flavors of various poultry, seafood, meats, or vegetables. The fragrance and smell of meat are mimicked with artificial meat flavoring. It can be found in foods like liver sausages, liverwurst, hamburgers, hot dogs, and more.

Flavor Outlook

By flavor, the market is fragmented into chicken, beef, pork, turkey, fish & seafood, and others. The beef segment garnered the maximum revenue share in the market in 2022. Beef, the second most popular meat consumed after chicken, is the term used in cuisine to refer to meat produced by bovine animals. Since there is a strong demand for fresh meat and an insufficient supply due to political and environmental factors, the demand for beef flavors is rising. Food safety difficulties, such as chemical residues and disease detection in other meats as well as beef-based flavors' rising usage, are major contributing factors to the segment's expansion.
