With rising attention on product appeal and health considerations, this sector is set for notable expansion. Below, we explore the market’s size, growth drivers, regional leadership, and key factors shaping its future.
Current and Projected Market Size of the Food Colors Industry
The food colors market growth has witnessed strong growth in recent years. It is projected to increase from $4 billion in 2025 to $4.32 billion in 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. This expansion during the past period has been driven by higher consumption of processed foods, a growing focus on visual appeal in packaged products, the rise of beverage manufacturing, widespread availability of synthetic color additives, and increasing standardization within food processing industries.
Looking ahead, the market is expected to continue its robust growth, reaching $5.9 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 8.1%.

Key trends shaping this outlook include the growing use of natural and plant-based colors, the popularity of clean-label coloring solutions, expanded adoption of microbial and fermentation-derived dyes, development of heat- and light-stable color formulations, and a greater emphasis on regulatory-compliant additives.

Understanding Food Colors and Their Role in the Industry
Food colors consist of chemical or natural dyes, pigments, or substances that add color when incorporated into food or beverages. They are commonly used in processed foods, drinks, and condiments to maintain or enhance the visual appearance of products. These additives help preserve or restore color and texture that may be lost during cooking or processing due to various chemical and physical factors.
Rising Demand from the Food and Beverage Sector
The growth of the food colors market is largely propelled by increasing demand from the food and beverage industry. This sector includes all businesses involved in producing, packaging, and distributing both fresh and processed foods, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Food colors are commonly added to retain the original appearance and texture of products, which can deteriorate during preparation and processing. For example, according to Brunei’s Ministry of Finance and Economy, the food and beverage sector recorded a volume growth of 12.7% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023, following a 33.3% increase in the previous quarter. Such strong growth within this industry significantly supports the expansion of the food colors market.
