The global food colorants market is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.  The key factors propelling the growth of the global food colorants market include the rising demand for natural food colorants owing to growth in the food and beverage industry. In addition to this, the advanced food processes such as food enrichment, add the colors and flavors lost during the food processing. The natural food colors segment is expected to grow faster owing to the health enhancement properties associated with the organic properties of the natural colors. Natural food colors are extracted from various natural sources including vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruits.  Owing to the less cost and potent intense and uniform color, the consumers are more inclined towards the synthetic colors. However, due to the hazardous effects of synthetic colors, consumers are shifting towards natural food colors.

Hansen Holding A/S, BASF SE, Koninklijke DSM N.V., and Givaudan SA, among others.  For instance, Naturex, a subsidiary of Givaudan, introduced a new line of blue Spirulina to its food coloring portfolio in March 2019. The company is known for its vast line of food coloring products, and with Vegebrite Ultimate Spirulina, it is increasing its investment in food coloring. A new extraction line has been installed at the company's production facility in Avignon, France, boosting spirulina production capacity. Naturex has increased its production capacity to suit the growing demand for clean-label blues and greens globally.
