Global Food Antioxidants Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.82% through 2028

Increasing consumption of processed foods and increasing use in animal feed is expected to drive the Global Food Antioxidants Market growth in the forecast period, 2024-2028.


According to TechSci Research report, “Global Food Antioxidants Market - Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2028”, the Global Food Antioxidants Market stood at USD 1023.01 Million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 6.82% in the forecast period, 2024-2028. The market's growth can be attributed to the increasing demand and consumption of processed food, wherein food antioxidants play a crucial role in improving the shelf life of products such as bakery, confectionery, and snacks. Antioxidants effectively inhibit oxidation and extend the shelf life of food products, making them highly valuable. Furthermore, research and development in this field, along with surveys conducted by research institutes, have significantly contributed to the growth of this segment. For instance, the American Heart Association recommends a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and other antioxidant-rich foods to combat cardiovascular disease. Similarly, the US Agricultural Research Service suggests that a diet high in antioxidants, particularly those found in blueberries, strawberries, and spinach, may help mitigate the decline in brain function associated with aging.

The increasing demand for processed food, driven by evolving lifestyles and growing awareness of protein-rich diets, has become a key catalyst for revenue growth in the food antioxidants market. Antioxidants, as dietary additives, play a crucial role in combating heart disease, cancer, cataracts, memory loss, and other ailments present in various processed food items such as morning cereals, sports bars, energy drinks, and other processed foods. This surge in demand has significantly contributed to the market's revenue growth. Moreover, the food industry widely employs antioxidants to enhance the shelf life of food products. Natural antioxidants, derived from foods and medicinal plants, are particularly effective in improving the shelf life of bakery products, snacks, and other packaged food items. Carotenoids and polyphenols, as organic antioxidants, exhibit diverse biological effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-atherosclerotic, and anti-cancer properties.

The primary driver of market revenue growth is the increasing adoption of antioxidants in poultry and meat products. Antioxidants act as compounds added to food to prevent oxygen from altering the flavor and color of the food. Notable antioxidants such as Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA), Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT), and tocopherols help maintain the appeal and nutritional value of food items by delaying rancidity in fats, sausages, and dried meats. Additionally, these antioxidants aid in preserving natural nutrients like vitamin A. As a result, antioxidants are widely utilized as a preventive measure in the livestock and food industries, thereby driving market revenue growth.

Furthermore, the food antioxidants market is experiencing revenue growth due to the rising demand for synthetic antioxidants. Tert-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA), Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT), and Propyl Gallate (PG) are among the commonly used synthetic food antioxidants. Synthetic antioxidants, being chemically derived and added to food products as preservatives to prevent lipid oxidation, are distinct from their natural counterparts. These synthetic substances enhance the shelf life of food and enable it to withstand various treatments and conditions, contributing to the market's revenue growth.

The growing consumer demand for anti-aging products has led to the widespread use of natural antioxidant compounds in various cosmetic products. These products help protect the body's cells from inflammation and aging, and can be found in personal care items like moisturizers, body lotions, creams, shampoos, conditioners, and more.

Natural antioxidants also play a significant role in preventing oxidation and extending the shelf life of food. With the rise of processed foods in the fast-paced lifestyle of the working community, there is a positive motivation for a healthier lifestyle, leading to increased demand for fortified foods and beverages. These factors are expected to drive market growth from 2022 to 2030.

There has also been a notable increase in the purchasing power of consumers, enabling them to make bulk purchases. This serves as a significant driver for the market, as higher purchasing power leads to increased demand for products. Furthermore, advancements in technology have extended the shelf life of food products, thereby expanding the market for food antioxidants. Given the interconnectedness of the food market and the overall market, an expansion in the former inevitably leads to growth in the latter. However, it is important to acknowledge that the market faces certain restraints, namely the elevated costs associated with natural antioxidants. While synthetic antioxidants offer a more cost-effective alternative, they are not as healthful or safe as their natural counterparts. Consequently, concerns regarding the safety of synthetic antioxidants also impede the growth of the Global Market.

However, the high cost of natural antioxidants poses a challenge, and the availability of synthetic antioxidants at a lower cost with limited health benefits has not fully met the demand of the general population. Safety concerns associated with synthetic antioxidants also hinder the food antioxidant market. Additionally, the global pandemic has significantly impacted the consumption of meat and livestock products, raising concerns about the transmission of COVID-19 through food consumption. Despite these challenges, various food agencies maintain that the safety and quality of the food supply remain robust, with food antioxidants continuing to play a vital role in the industry.

Antioxidants play a vital role as ingredients in food & beverages and animal feed additives. Synthetic antioxidants are commonly used as preservatives in packaged food products. Particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, the demand for synthetic antioxidants is expected to rise during the forecast period, driven by strong purchasing power.

Based on application, the market is segmented into meat & poultry, bakery & confectionery, fats & oil, fish. The Meat & Poultry application emerged as the dominant market player. This growth can be attributed to the increasing global consumption of meat and related food products. Meat and poultry are recognized as excellent sources of protein, essential for a balanced diet. The consumption of meat & poultry products provides the human body with an adequate protein intake. The meat segment primarily encompasses red meat, including pork, lamb, and beef.
