Which are the Factors Restraining the Demand in Erythrosine Market?

Erythrosine is known as Allura Red AC colors in the U.S. and shades of this are extensively used in the U.S. food & beverage industry. The consumption of erythrosine lake color is also banned in the U.S., which is likely to affect sales in the country negatively. The U.S. is considered one of the largest food colorants market and these regulations is restraining the demand in the erythrosine market.

The European Food Safety Authority only allows erythrosine in processed cherries and pet foods. Such stringent regulations regarding synthetic food colorants is a key factor hampering the growth of the market. Also, misconception about the side effects of synthetic colors is another factor impeding the growth in the erythrosine market.

Being a synthetic dye produced by full chemical synthesis, they lack nutritional content. Demand for natural colorants and additives is gaining traction on account of the rapid shift towards nutritional food content and food products which have ingredients that are naturally derived. This might hamper the erythrosine market.
