Factors Affecting the Growth of the Food Preservatives Industry:

• Rising Awareness About Food Safety:

Some consumer awareness regarding foodborne diseases due to bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli has led to a growing demand for safe food products. Preservatives are among the key ingredients in inhibiting the growth of harmful microorganisms and ensuring food safety. Countries all around the world are tightening their regulations on food safety. Such regulations often include the dictates that preservatives be used to prevent contamination by microorganisms that might cause spoiling, so that food products satisfy safe standards before reaching consumers.

• Urbanization and Changing Lifestyles:

Populace is being flocked into urban centres with busy lives and not much time available, demanding convenience and instant foods. Such foods now require preservatives since they are to retain their shelf life during distribution and storage. With fast-paced lives, there has been a progressive shift to quick and easy preparation meals and snacks. This has led to increased consumption of pre-packaged and ready-to-eat (RTE) food kinds.

• Increasing Demand for Convenience Food Products:

Convenience foods comprise ready-to-eat (RTE) meals, snacks, frozen foods, and survival products that need to have prolonged shelf lives from production to consumption. The role played by preservatives is important in preventing spoilage and retaining the quality and safety of these products for an extended duration. People should note that most convenience foods are prepared using ingredients that are quite prone to microbial attacks such as dairy, meat, and fresh fruits or vegetables. Preservatives help to inhibit or reduce the growth of bacteria, molds, and yeasts, making products safe for consumption.
