Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Natural Food Colors Market

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the natural food colors market growth was primarily driven by the rising demand for organic and natural food products with high nutritional value. However, the market faced hurdles during the first quarter of 2020 due to business shutdown and raw material and labor shortages. The COVID-19 pandemic led to economic recession in the initial months of 2020, which created financial difficulties for low-income and mid-income consumers.

Moreover, due to restrictions, people stayed at home and cooked at home, creating a demand for packaged food products that are easy to cook. This surged the demand for RTE and RTC food products, leading to the natural food colors market growth. Consumers also became health conscious and preferred food products that are natural and safer to consume. This fueled the market growth during the COVID-19 pandemic.
