There is a rise in the demand for natural and clean label ingredients among the masses around the world. Bio vanillin is a natural product that is widely utilized in various industries and reduces the risk of various side effects on individuals. It is also a clean label product as compared to synthetic vanillin and offers the same aromatic profile and flavor characteristics. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and are actively seeking products with natural flavors and fewer artificial additives. Apart from this, there is a rise in the demand for natural ingredients and flavors in the food and beverage (F&B) industry due to the increasing awareness among consumers.

Increasing concern about the environment and sustainability

People are increasingly preferring bio vanillin, as it lowers the dependency on non-renewable resources and minimizes carbon emissions. There is a rise in awareness and concern about sustainability and environmental impact among the masses across the globe. In addition, consumers and businesses are choosing sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives and becoming more conscious of their ecological footprint, which is positively influencing the market. Bio vanillin is produced through a bioconversion process by using renewable feedstocks, such as ferulic acid or lignin, that offers a sustainable solution as compared to the petrochemical-based synthesis of synthetic vanillin. Furthermore, manufacturers are rapidly using bio-based ingredients to reduce the environmental impact and promote sustainability goals.

Stringent rules and regulations to avoid the usage of synthetic vanillin

Governing agencies of various countries are encouraging the adoption of natural products by implementing stringent rules and regulations on synthetic vanillin, which is contributing to the growth of the market.
