Brilliant blue FCF, also known as Blue 1 or Patent Blue AR is a synthetic dye primarily used as a blue colorant for medications, processed foods, dietary supplements, and cosmetics. It is categorized as a triarylmethane dye and is known by various other names such as acid blue 9 or FD&C blue no. 1. It is usually combined with tartrazine (E102) to produce various shades of green.
Brilliant blue FCF has a color index of 42090 and is also known as E133. It is a disodium salt and has the appearance of a blue powder. It is soluble in water and glycerol, with an absorption limit of about 628 nm. Blue 1 is one of the oldest FDA-approved food color additives and is generally considered to be safe and non-toxic.
Brilliant blue FCF is widely used in processed commercial food items to provide them with an artificial green color. It is also added to various food items to make them look attractive, enhance the naturally occurring color, and provide color to colorless products.
The global brilliant blue FCF colors market is mainly driven by the surging demand for exotic-looking food items, as well as rising consumer preference for innovative and tasty food and beverages. Penetration of the internet is expected to lead to the increasing use of social media platforms, which would also push the need for aesthetically appealing food and beverages.
As per the report, the demand for brilliant blue FCF colorants is anticipated to grow by approximately 9,500 metric tons by 2032. As people are becoming more aware of the negative impact of synthetic food ingredients, the need for natural food ingredients is rising, which would propel the demand for organic brilliant blue FCF colors.

The rapid expansion of the food processing industry with rising internet penetration, as well as affordability and accessibility, would drive sales of brilliant blue FCF colors in the evaluation period. As the beverage industry has found no other replacement for brilliant blue FCF colors, it is also expected to create high demand in the future.
Blue food colorants must have multiple chemical properties like aromatic rings, pi-bond conjugation, heteroatoms, and ionic charges to absorb low-energy red light. The majority of natural blue dye attempts are either unstable, blue only in alkaline conditions, or toxic. Synthetic colors such as brilliant blue FCF are cost-effective and thus would generate high demand, as compared to natural colors.
The brilliant blue FCF colors market is set to be driven by their increasing application in the food and beverage industry. Compared to natural blue colorants, brilliant blue FCF colors make the food or beverage brighter, as well as add greater vibrancy and stability. These colors are extensively utilized in frozen, convenience, ready-to-eat, processed, and baked foods, as well as carbonated drinks, alcoholic beverages, juices, and sauces.
Brilliant blue is not only used in the food and beverages industry but also utilized in soaps, mouthwashes, shampoos, and other personal care products owing to its non-toxic nature. It can outperform other dye tracers at a fast pace and is thus used as a water-tracing agent.
Brilliant blue FCF colors are sometimes poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Also, stringent regulations controlling the use of colorants in a few regions and the rising inclination of consumers towards organic food colorants are expected to hamper growth. Key food and beverage manufacturers are nowadays using natural food colors like spirulina colorants to provide safety to consumers, which may also hinder growth.
