Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Sodium Benzoate Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the sodium benzoate market. Initially, COVID-19 had a substantial impact on the market because of the decrease in manufacturing. The imposition of lockdown measures resulted in the discontinuation of manufacturing operations, resulting in a decrease in supply activities. In addition, travel restrictions around the world made it difficult to transport raw materials, which restrained the growth of the global economy. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a long-term favorable effect on the market in the coming years. The outbreak led to the rise in packaged food items as consumers became increasingly aware of the hygiene and safety of products and therefore preferred purchasing food with safe packaging. As sodium benzoate is used as a preservative in many packaged food items, the growth in packaged food production favored the market. Moreover, due to the sudden impact of the pandemic, the market saw a boom in demand for products that support immunity-boosting in the pharmaceuticals & nutraceuticals industry. The pharmaceutical industry is one of the major application industries for the sodium benzoate market. As a result, the consumption of sodium benzoate also surged. Further, to address such rising demand for these supplements, manufacturers redirected their efforts toward improving their sales strategies and pushing the product into untapped markets.

Surging Demand for Sodium Benzoate in Food & Beverages Industry

Sodium benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid. It is widely used as a food preservative and a pickling agent in the food & beverages industry. It is generally recognized as safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and allows up to a 0.1% concentration by weight when used in foods. Sodium Benzoate is used in acidic foods such as salad dressings, carbonated drinks, pickles, jams and fruit juices, condiments, and frozen yogurt toppings to prevent spoilage caused by harmful micro-organisms such as harmful bacteria, yeasts, and molds. It also helps maintain freshness in food by slowing down or preventing color, flavor, PH, and texture changes. Moreover, it acts as a bacteriostatic and fungistatic preservative in soft drinks and other beverages, which increases the acidic flavor and extend the product's shelf life. Sodium benzoate is commonly used as a preservative to protect the taste. The Coca-Cola Company also uses it as an antimicrobial agent in Coca-Cola drinks.
