Global Food Antioxidants Market to Grow with a CAGR of 7.03% through 2030

Increasing consumption of processed foods and increasing use in animal feed is expected to drive the Global Food Antioxidants Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030.


According to TechSci Research report, “Global Food Antioxidants Market - Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030”, the Global Food Antioxidants Market stood at USD 1.44 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.03% in the forecast period, 2026-2030. The market's growth can be attributed to the increasing demand and consumption of processed food, wherein food antioxidants play a crucial role in improving the shelf life of products such as bakery, confectionery, and snacks. Antioxidants effectively inhibit oxidation and extend the shelf life of food products, making them highly valuable. Furthermore, research and development in this field, along with surveys conducted by research institutes, have significantly contributed to the growth of this segment. For instance, the American Heart Association recommends a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and other antioxidant-rich foods to combat cardiovascular disease. Similarly, the US Agricultural Research Service suggests that a diet high in antioxidants, particularly those found in blueberries, strawberries, and spinach, may help mitigate the decline in brain function associated with aging.

The increasing demand for processed food, driven by evolving lifestyles and growing awareness of protein-rich diets, has become a key catalyst for revenue growth in the food antioxidants market. Antioxidants, as dietary additives, play a crucial role in combating heart disease, cancer, cataracts, memory loss, and other ailments present in various processed food items such as morning cereals, sports bars, energy drinks, and other processed foods. This surge in demand has significantly contributed to the market's revenue growth. Moreover, the food industry widely employs antioxidants to enhance the shelf life of food products. Natural antioxidants, derived from foods and medicinal plants, are particularly effective in improving the shelf life of bakery products, snacks, and other packaged food items. Carotenoids and polyphenols, as organic antioxidants, exhibit diverse biological effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-atherosclerotic, and anti-cancer properties.

The primary driver of market revenue growth is the increasing adoption of antioxidants in poultry and meat products. Antioxidants act as compounds added to food to prevent oxygen from altering the flavor and color of the food. Notable antioxidants such as Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA), Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT), and tocopherols help maintain the appeal and nutritional value of food items by delaying rancidity in fats, sausages, and dried meats. Additionally, these antioxidants aid in preserving natural nutrients like vitamin A. As a result, antioxidants are widely utilized as a preventive measure in the livestock and food industries, thereby driving market revenue growth.

Furthermore, the food antioxidants market is experiencing revenue growth due to the rising demand for synthetic antioxidants. Tert-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA), Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT), and Propyl Gallate (PG) are among the commonly used synthetic food antioxidants. Synthetic antioxidants, being chemically derived and added to food products as preservatives to prevent lipid oxidation, are distinct from their natural counterparts. These synthetic substances enhance the shelf life of food and enable it to withstand various treatments and conditions, contributing to the market's revenue growth.

The growing consumer demand for anti-aging products has led to the widespread use of natural antioxidant compounds in various cosmetic products. These products help protect the body's cells from inflammation and aging, and can be found in personal care items like moisturizers, body lotions, creams, shampoos, conditioners, and more. Natural antioxidants also play a significant role in preventing oxidation and extending the shelf life of food. With the rise of processed foods in the fast-paced lifestyle of the working community, there is a positive motivation for a healthier lifestyle, leading to increased demand for fortified foods and beverages. These factors are expected to drive market growth from 2024 to 2030.

There has also been a notable increase in the purchasing power of consumers, enabling them to make bulk purchases. This serves as a significant driver for the market, as higher purchasing power leads to increased demand for products. Furthermore, advancements in technology have extended the shelf life of food products, thereby expanding the market for food antioxidants. Given the interconnectedness of the food market and the overall market, an expansion in the former inevitably leads to growth in the latter. However, it is important to acknowledge that the market faces certain restraints, namely the elevated costs associated with natural antioxidants. While synthetic antioxidants offer a more cost-effective alternative, they are not as healthful or safe as their natural counterparts. Consequently, concerns regarding the safety of synthetic antioxidants also impede the growth of the Global Market.

“In emerging markets, where lifestyles are evolving rapidly, there is a competitive increase in demand from workplaces and homes. In India, natural antioxidants like Oryzanol have gained significant popularity post-pandemic. The Ricela Group has introduced Gamma Oryzanol to India in the form of nutraceutical capsules. According to AP Organics Limited, it helps reduce high blood cholesterol and is effective in treating anxiety, managing sugar levels, and assisting patients with hypothyroidism. It also plays a crucial role in preventing lifestyle diseases. In 2022, Kemin Industries launched a clean label solution with antioxidant properties and moisture retention capabilities that improve texture and extend the shelf life of food products. Kemirks showcases its latest clean-label innovations aimed at enhancing shelf-life, providing microbial protection, improving textural quality, and increasing yield for a wide range of food applications. Among Kemin's solutions, NaturFort stands out as a versatile combination of rosemary and green tea extracts that complement each other. These extracts not only offer food protection but also positively impact flavor, color, and odor. In the snack market, clean label antioxidant solutions significantly delay or prevent lipid oxidation, while in bakery solutions, mold inhibitors help prolong product lifespan. Kemin's range of plant extracts and antioxidants also contribute to dressings and sauces staying fresher and safer for longer periods while maintaining a clean label status. This is leading to a growing preference for convenience, where fast food is expected to differentiate itself from junk food by offering quick, easy, and healthier options. Suppliers and manufacturers have an opportunity to capitalize on this trend by identifying ingredients with naturally high nutritional value. Additionally, the rise in working women and nuclear double-income families, particularly in urban areas, is shaping these changing lifestyles. Busy schedules and shifting consumption patterns have resulted in a higher demand for processed, ready-to-cook, and ready-to-eat food, which has also led to increased brand-consciousness.” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a research-based management consulting firm.
