Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Dairy Flavors Market
Before the pandemic, the growing demand for processed food and the increasing consumer requirement for a variety of flavors and tastes of the product were the key factors that boosted the growth of the dairy flavors market. The dairy flavors market was driven by the food & beverages industry incorporating a variety of flavors in its products. Moreover, consumer shift toward natural flavors and increased consumption of ready-to-eat products among the population were among the other factors positively influencing the market growth. However, industries experienced unprecedented challenges after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, including supply chain constraints caused by nationwide lockdowns, trade bans, and travel restrictions. The supply chain disruptions created a shortage of raw materials, which affected the production and distribution of various products, leading to increased prices.
In 2021, various economies resumed operation as governments of various countries announced the relaxation of the previously imposed restrictions, which boosted the global marketplace. Further, manufacturers were permitted to operate at full capacity, which helped them overcome the demand and supply gap and other repercussions. As numerous citizens of many countries were fully vaccinated by 2021, the dairy flavor manufacturers focused on increasing their production to revive their businesses.
