Growing applications in food and beverage (F&B) industry
The increasing applications in the F&B industry are impelling the India natural food flavors market growth. People are becoming health-conscious and preferring natural flavors over artificial additives due to concerns about synthetic chemicals and their potential health risks. The high demand for packaged food items, dairy products, bakery items, and beverages has encouraged companies to enhance taste and aroma using natural extracts, essential oils, and fruit-based flavors. Additionally, the growing trend of functional and fortified food items, such as protein-enriched snacks and immunity-boosting drinks, further promotes the adoption of natural flavors. Food producers are also investing in research and innovations to create authentic and regional flavors that cater to Indian consumer preferences. The increasing sales of RTE meals and flavored beverages further support this shift, as companies seek to offer healthier and more appealing options. In February 2025, PepsiCo, the well-known F&B brand, announced that the volume of its convenience food product segment increased by 2%, mainly driven by double-digit growth in India. The beverage segment's volume rose by 1%. With fast-paced urbanization activities and changing dietary habits, the demand for natural food flavors is rising, making them an essential component in F&B formulations while meeting consumer expectations for taste, quality, and health benefits.
Rise in government regulations about food safety
An increase in government regulations about food safety is offering a favorable India natural food flavors market outlook. As per the information provided on the official website of the Government of India, in 2024, the Indian Parliament passed the ‘The Food Safety and Standards (Amendment) Bill’. The Central Government would create a council named ‘the Nutrition Council’ to oversee the marketing and sale of food items that contribute to obesity in children. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) executes stringent guidelines on the use of artificial flavors, preservatives, and chemicals in food items, encouraging companies to shift towards clean-label ingredients. These regulations ensure better transparency, improving consumer trust in naturally flavored products. Additionally, increased monitoring of food production and labeling practices motivates manufacturers to adhere to higher safety standards, driving the demand for natural food flavors. Government initiatives promoting organic and health-conscious food choices further fuel the market growth. With the increasing concerns about food adulteration and health risks linked to artificial additives, food producers focus on using plant-based and organic flavors to meet regulatory requirements. As these laws evolve, businesses wager on research and development (R&D) activities to introduce innovative natural flavors that comply with safety standards while maintaining product appeal.
