Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/03/2015 -- Food colors are any type of dye, pigments, or substances that impart color when added to food or drinks. The exact color of the dye or pigment depends on the concentration, pH, and nature of the food. The food colors can be segmented as natural and synthetic food colors. Natural food colors are extracted from vegetables, fruit, minerals, and animals. They do not contain any added chemicals while synthetic food colors are made from chemicals. The demand for natural food colors is driving the growth of the food color market globally.

Technavio's analysts forecast the global natural and synthetic food colors market to grow at a CAGR of 5.28% during the period 2014-2019.

The demand for ready-to-eat meals, which use food colors extensively, has seen a significant increase in APAC over the past few years, especially in China and India. In India, the number of people who dine out has increased significantly; in 2013, the restaurant industry in the country was valued at $48 billion. The restaurant industry includes cafes, food chains, casual dining places, pubs, and fine dining restaurants. Food chains such as KFC add artificial colors to food to increase appeal.
