Trends in the French food flavorings market: naturalness in demand against a backdrop of sustained growth
The French food flavorings market is enjoying a period of sustained expansion, with consumer preferences shifting strongly towards the appeal of natural ingredients. The national market has grown significantly in value terms, despite a brief slowdown in 2020 due to the global pandemic.
Demand for natural flavors is a driving force in France, inspired by consumer interest in healthier, more environmentally-friendly options. This national trend has contributed to strong market growth, as evidenced by the sector's remarkable increase in sales - at an average of around 6.5% per year.
France has also become a net exporter of food flavorings, with exports outstripping imports by a factor of 1.5, consolidating its status as Europe's leading flavorings trader. Flavor manufacturers, including Givaudan and Firmenich in Switzerland and Mane and Robertet in France, spearhead the market. Mane, in particular, dominates the French sector with a share of around 13%. The market structure is characterized by a mix of small, family-run businesses, which account for around 90% of the industry and reflect a heritage rooted in the rich heritage of the Grasse region.
In the food industry, the beverage and savory segments are the main consumers of flavors. In addition, the growing movement within the food industry to move away from artificial flavours is testament to consumers' ethical awareness of the quality of the ingredients contained in their food. Clean label initiatives are gaining ground, encouraging manufacturers to turn to natural flavors that offer both taste and wholesomeness, particularly to enhance the appeal of vegetarian and other health-conscious food products.
Innovation is vital within the industry, as evidenced by the major companies' substantial R&D expenditure, which represents around 8% of their sales. This investment in innovation is essential to creating new tastes and maintaining a competitive edge, hence the trend towards market consolidation in order to gain scale and optimize R&D expenditure.
Overall, trends in the French food flavorings market point to robust growth fueled by growing demand for natural flavors, a positive trade balance
