The demand for food consisting of different flavors is increasing at an exponential rate across the world. To meet this demand, highly cost-effective and innovative ways of producing flavors, which are added as flavor enhancers, are expected to propel the growth of the market. However, the growing awareness regarding the ill-effects of synthetic savory ingredients, such as MSG, is one of the key factors restricting the growth of this market in developed regions, where the consumers are more inclined toward natural ingredients such as yeast extracts.

By type, the monosodium glutamate segment is projected to account for a larger share in the savory ingredients market. The monosodium glutamate segment is projected to dominate the market, on the basis of type, during the forecast period. This is attributed to the cost-effectiveness and wide application areas of MSG in food and feed applications. MSG is a sodium salt of glutamic acid and is the most widely used savory ingredient. It is generally added to food to enhance the salty or sugary flavor, even though it is tasteless. MSG is widely used in frozen foods, spice mixes, canned & dry soups, salad dressings, and meat or fish-based products.

Based on application, the market for savory ingredients is segmented into food and feed. The food segment is estimated to account for a larger share because of the high consumption of savory ingredients, such as MSG and yeast extracts, in various food applications, such as prepared meals and snacks. The rising consumption of natural savory ingredients with the growing demand for clean label and free-from products drives the market for savory ingredients in the food industry.


The key players in this market include Givaudan (Switzerland), Lesaffre Group (France), ADM (US), Ajinomoto Co., Inc. (Japan), Koninklijke DSM N.V. (Netherlands), Kerry Group PLC (Ireland), Tate & Lyle PLC (UK), and AngelYeast Co., Ltd. (China).
