Middle East and Africa Vanilla (B2C) Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing demand for vanilla in the food & beverage industry

The demand for vanilla in the food & beverage industries is growing rapidly. Vanilla extract is an important flavouring agent in the food and beverage processing industry. In the food industry, vanilla is added to various food applications, including dairy-based products, bakery products, processed foods, chocolate & confectionery, and others, to enhance its flavours, and taste. Thus, the increase in demand for vanilla powder, paste, and liquid in the food industry is expected to drive growth in the market.

Meanwhile, vanilla extracts play an important role in reducing bitterness and enhancing the product's flavour in the chocolate industry. In addition, vanilla will mask the taste variation in chocolate caused by cocoa bran. Hence, the increase in demand for vanilla in the chocolate industry is propelling the growth of vanilla in the market.

• Growing demand for vanilla in the pharmaceutical and personal care industry

In recent years, the demand for fragrance-based cosmetic, and personal care products has been increasing among customers across the globe. Hence, the rise in the need for vanilla-added cosmetic products is impelling the growth of vanilla in the market. Besides fragrance, vanilla has a particular functional property that enables the repair of skin damage.

For instance,

vanilla is naturally rich in antioxidants, which help neutralize the free radicals and reduce skin damage. Due to its functional property, vanilla liquids, powders, and pastes are largely used in cosmetic products. Thus, the increasing usage of vanilla in the cosmetic industry will drive growth in the market. Moreover, the Madagascar vanilla has extensive application in personal care products such as lotion, anti-aging creams, and lip balm enriched with vitamin B, which is responsible for healthy skin. Thus, cosmetic manufacturers are adding vanilla into their products.

Hence, the growing demand for Madagascar vanilla in personal care product will propel the market growth.

Opportunity

• Rising demand for synthetic vanilla extracts

Although the low production of vanilla beans reduces the production of natural vanilla extracts in the market. To encounter the demand, the vanilla extracts manufacturers are focused on producing synthetic vanilla extract. This further creates an opportunity for vanilla extract producers to expand their value in the global market. As a result of rising consumer preference for vanilla-flavored food products, the food industry demands more synthetic vanilla extract in the market.

In recent years, immense interest has been grown among chemical industries due to the viable opportunity to substitute synthetic vanilla products with renewable resources. According to U.S. regulation, the derivation of vanilla extract from renewable sources can be labeled as natural. Thus, the manufacturers emphasize producing vanilla extract using the biotechnological method.

Restraints/Challenges

• Fluctuating price of raw materials

The demand for vanilla flavors is increasing among industries, and customers across the globe. However, the demand for vanilla exceeds the supply of vanilla in the market.

For instance,

• Based on the NPR report, the rising demand for Madagascar vanilla bean increased the product's price by ten times in 2017 compared to previous years. Hence, the increasing price of Madagascar beans will decrease the growth in the market as the customers are sensitive to price

Similarly, the customers are looking for clean label products and demand natural and organic products. Therefore, the companies produce vanilla extracts from a natural source to satisfy the customers. Despite that, less raw material availability leads the manufacturers to sell their products at a higher cost. As a result of elevated prices, the demand for vanilla will decline and obstruct the global market's growth.

• Availability of substitute products

Vanilla is the most common flavor among consumers, although the availability of alternative flavors in the market is a major challenge for the growth of vanilla in the market. Maple syrup, almond extract, citrus zest, and others are the substituent flavors available in the market. Maple syrup is a substitute for vanilla extracts which offers a pleasant aroma and vanilla's mellow flavors.

Maple syrup is ideal for preparing pancakes, cookies, roasted vegetables, and other food applications.

As it is cost-effective, the consumers opt for maple syrup as an alternative to vanilla flavor. Hence, the increasing demand for maple syrup will decline the growth of vanilla in the market. Consequently, almond extract is also used as an alternative source of vanilla extract. Moreover, almond extract is significantly more potent than vanilla flavor. This extract is widely added to baked goods and other desserts to enhance its flavor and taste. Therefore, the rising demand for almond extract in the bakery industry will obstruct the growth of vanilla in the market.
