Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kdnfh3/global_natural) has announced the addition of the "Global Natural Colorants Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.

The analysts forecast the Global Natural Colorants market to grow at a CAGR of 6.51 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the growing awareness about the ill-effects of synthetic colors. The Global Natural Colorants market has also been witnessing increasing demand from the Confectionery segment of the Food industry. However, the degradation of natural colors could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

Key vendors dominating this space are Chr. Hansen A/S, D.D. Williamson and Co., Naturex SA, Sensient Technologies Corp., and Sethness Products Co.

Other vendors mentioned in the report are AAFUD Group (Zhuhai) Co., Aarkay Food Products Ltd., Allied Biotech Corp., Archer Daniels Midland Co., BASF SE, Cargill Inc., David Michael and Co., Diana Naturals, Dohler Group, DuPont, Fiorio Colori S.p.A, Flavorchem Corp., FMC Corp., GNT Group, ITC Colors, Kalsec Inc., Kancor Ingredients Ltd., Kanegrade Ltd., Kolor Jet Chemical Pvt. Ltd., LycoRed Inc., Prinova Group LLC, Pronex SA, Proquimac Food & Pharma SA, Roha Dyechem, Royal DSM NV, Symrise AG, Synthite Industries Ltd., Tanya Exports, and Wild Flavors GmbH.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The Global Natural Colorants market is witnessing increasing use of natural colorants in confectionery products such as candies and chewing gums. A gradual shift from the usage of synthetic or artificial colors to natural colors in the Confectionery segment of the Food industry is being noticed. Several leading players are introducing new natural color products to cater to this demand. For instance, Chr. Hansen A/S, a Denmark-based producer of natural ingredients for a range of industries such as Food and Nutrition and Pharmaceuticals, has introduced a new line of natural blue color, which is derived from spirulina, for application in candies and chewing gums. Such applications are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for vendors in the Global Natural Colorants market during the forecast period.
