Market Growth & Opportunities Factors:
The availability of functional and processed food products such as jam, meat, bakery & confectionery, dairy products, and others in the market has attracted consumers for a few years. The consumers look for multifunctional food that will fulfill their nutritional requirements through food in their daily diet. Rise in health awareness among the consumers plays a major role in their food choices that presents manufacturers with a huge opportunity to offer healthy products in innovative ways. According to the report by the Kerry Group 2020, the global functional food market was valued at ~$230 billion that was expected to reach ~$270 billion by the end of the year 2025.
Functional food products are developing according to the demand of the market and consumer necessities with time. The manufacturers are utilizing several nutrients such as protein, vitamins, fat, and others to develop novel products that are demanded in the market. Ferulic acid is one of the most important nutrients that fulfill the requirements of functional food by offering several benefits such as antioxidants, energy production, and others. Functional food manufacturing companies are trying different combinations of ferulic acids in their food that would help increase the overall production. Rise in sales of functional food thus boosts the growth of the ferulic acid market.
Manufacturing companies are introducing different technologies to improve the quality of the product, the efficiency of ferulic acid to mix in final product and reduce the time for processing with advancements in the production of ferulic acid. Significant developments in production technologies have recently led to novel offerings for enhancing food quality and the usefulness of non-food-grade products. Reichstein process, two-step fermentation with single & mixed cultures are a few of the latest technologies that are used by manufacturers in the ferulic acid industry. These new innovations are helping manufacturers to cater to the demand for ferulic acids efficiently, thus reducing the time for the completion of the process. These innovations are expected to increase the demand for ferulic acid among the manufacturers, which in turn boost its growth in terms of value and volume.
The global cosmetics business is rapidly expanding, owing to increase in consciousness about appearance among people and rise in desire for different cosmetic goods, skincare products, beauty care products, and personal care products. The expansion of well-known cosmetic companies in western nations, availability of new cosmetic items, and improved product quality have all contributed to increased market demand and sales. Ferulic acid is the most popular type of ferulic acid that is utilized by the cosmetics manufacturers in a significant quantity. Ferulic acid plays a major role in the offerings of anti-aging treatments, skin firmness and brightness, and serves to rejuvenate the skin of the consumers. The expanding cosmetics and personal care products are expected to demand more ingredients such as ferulic acid which is anticipated to subsequently boost the ferulic acid market during the forecast period.

Major Challenges in Industry & Solutions:
The expansion of the ferulic acid market is hampered by the rise in the prices of raw materials used in its manufacturing. The primary raw materials utilized in ferulic acid production are fruits, grains, vegetables, and others. The raw material prices are volatile and can be influenced by a series of factors, including extreme weather, political instability, and pests & disease. In addition, the increase in the supply-demand gap in the fruit industry has accelerated the prices of citrus and other fruits. The ongoing inconsistency of the production of ferulic acid from natural sources has affected the price, as the price increased due to less production and more demand. Increased price and a lack of raw materials for processing ferulic acid restrains the growth and development of ferulic acid market. However, maintaining relationships with multiple suppliers and strong supply chain networks are the factors which are important to tackle the challenges during sourcing of raw materials.
The production of ferulic acid is a complex procedure that must adhere to the several requirements imposed by the governments of different nations in the world. National and international scientific bodies and laboratories rigorously examine ferulic acid as a food additive. The worldwide Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and state agencies are among the independent bodies. In Europe, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is in charge of checking such substances at each stage of manufacturing and has published rules on how much quantity can be used in food & beverages. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration has recommended a list of ferulic acids that are acceptable for use within its respective constraints. Stringent government regulations on the production of ferulic acid interrupts marketing activities and results in a procedural delay to reach the market that is impacting demand-supply gap of the market negatively. However, collaborating with the food safety testing services and players is one of the most effective solutions for ferulic acid manufacturers to check and maintain the regulations to avoid procedural delay of the product in the market.
