COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic affected almost all industries in various countries. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) hampered the growth of several industries, including the food & beverage industry. The shutdown of manufacturing units disturbed global supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and essential and nonessential product sales. Various companies witnessed delays in product deliveries and a slump in sales of their products in 2020.

During the initial phase of the pandemic, the food & beverages industry in the region faced a decline due to the shutdown of manufacturing units and supply chain disruption. The pandemic disturbed manufacturing activities with restrictions imposed by government authorities in global countries such as the US, Canada, Germany, the UK, India, and China. This created a shortage of raw materials, resulting in a demand and supply gap. The powdered flavors market also witnessed similar impacts of the pandemic. As the pandemic disrupted the global supply chains, raw material sourcing was difficult. Moreover, small and mid-scale companies with low inventory levels witnessed a decline in sales which negatively impacted their profitability. However, the pandemic altered the global consumer preferences as health became the top priority. The preference for all-natural, organic, and GMO-free ingredients increased as consumers perceived these products to be healthier than conventional ones. Moreover, the focus on immune health increased dramatically, which is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for immune-boosting flavors such as turmeric powder, ginger powder, and cinnamon.

In 2021, various economies resumed operations as several governments announced relaxation in the previously imposed restrictions, which positively impacted the global marketplace. Moreover, manufacturers were permitted to operate at full capacity, which helped them overcome the demand and supply gap.
