Global Natural Food Antioxidants Market 2024

The global market for natural food antioxidants has witnessed significant growth due to the increasing demand for natural ingredients and the clean-label trend in the food and beverage industry. This trend has driven manufacturers to seek clean label alternatives to synthetic antioxidants, leading to the removal of synthetic additives from staple products like cereals by companies such as General Mills and Kellogg's. Instead, they are opting for holistic and natural shelf-life extension solutions, such as tocopherol and rosemary extracts.

Rosemary extracts have gained popularity as antioxidants, in addition to their traditional use in flavoring. Several studies have shown that rosemary extracts exhibit biological bioactivities, including antifungal, insecticidal, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. The rosemary extracts segment of the natural food antioxidants market was valued at USD 274 million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 434 million by 2029, with a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period (2024-2029). However, the blends segment, which includes products like rosemary and green tea extracts, is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Antioxidants are widely recognized and used in both the food and feed industries to improve the shelf life of products. In pet foods, both natural and synthetic antioxidants are utilized to protect oils and fats against oxidative rancidity. Mixed tocopherols, derived from natural sources, are commonly used as antioxidants in pet foods. The pet foods segment of the natural food antioxidants market was valued at USD 154 million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 258 million by 2029, with a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. However, synthetic antioxidants are still preferred in many cases due to their efficacy, stability throughout the entire shelf life, and cost-effectiveness. Natural-derived antioxidants in pet food face challenges such as higher required levels for effective protection, poor stability, and limited carry-through.
