Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Natural Food Colors Market
During the COVID-19 outbreak, the shutdown of manufacturing units and the distribution facilities, such as supermarkets and hypermarkets and convenience and specialty stores, declined the demand for bakery products, confectionery, and beverages, which, in turn, restrained the natural food colors market growth. During the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, natural food colors manufacturers were forced to scale back or halt production temporarily. However, businesses gained ground as the governments of various countries eased out the previously imposed restrictions.
Moreover, many sections of the food & beverages industry, especially packaged food products, witnessed a growth in demand worldwide post-recovery. As RTE and RTC production regained pre-pandemic figures and is growing continuously, the market is expected to expand significantly during the forecast period.
