The global azo dyes market, which includes Ponceau 4R colors, is impacted by growing demand for innovative and unique dishes and changing tastes and dietary preferences.
The synthetic food colors market is aimed at the general public and is widely used by the food industry across the world, unlike natural food colors which are a niche market. Ponceau 4R, also known as New Coccine, Cochenal Red A and Brilliant Scarlet 4R, is a highly effective synthetic black diazo that easily and quickly imparts intense, uniform color to food and beverage products.
The global Ponceau 4R food coloring market is dominated by the Indochina and Brazil region. An increase in consumer goods revenues in regions such as the Middle East, South America, Asia-Pacific and Africa has made it easier for customers to consume ready-to-eat processed food products, increasing thus the demand for Ponceau 4R.
“Companies manufacturing Ponceau 4R would benefit significantly by targeting the confectionery and bakery industries. Forming strategic alliances with global candy, confectionery, savory snack, pastry and bakery brands would help these artificial food coloring brands immensely,” an FMI analyst said.
