Food colours are under threat as processors scrap them or turn to colouring foodstuffs and as the prepared foods market growth slows, warns the latest Food Manufacture market report.
The study, in association with RTS Resource, claims the shift away from synthetics to clean labels means future opportunities will lie in developing natural colours and colouring foodstuffs.
But the colours market will grow annually at 0.8% in value, reaching £41.5M in 2012 from £39.9M in 2007, says the study.
