Report Coverage

The report: “Carmine Market – Forecast (2020-2025)”, by IndustryARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments of the Carmine Industry.

Key Takeaways

North America dominates the carmine market owing to increasing demand from applications such as dairy products and confectionery industries.

The dairy products industry held the major share in the end-use industry segment.

By Application - Segment Analysis

The dairy products segment held the highest share in the market and is expected to grow with the CAGR of 5.88% over the forecast period from 2020 to 2025. Global milk output in 2018 is estimated at 843 million tonnes, an increase of 2.2 percent from 2017, driven by production expansions in India, Turkey, the European Union, Pakistan, the United States of America and Argentina, but partially offset by declines in China and Ukraine, among few others. This increase has come about as a result of higher dairy herd numbers along with improvements to milk collection processes (India and Pakistan), efficiency improvements in integrated dairy production systems (Turkey). This is fueling the demand for carmine in the market. The growing demand for candies has resulted in an increasing foray of companies into the sector. Increasing consumer spending and growing trend towards urbanization has led to huge growth of the market in Europe and North America. Confectionery market comprises array of food products such as chocolates, raw pastes, and various sugar-based products. In addition, it includes therapeutic and dietetic confectioneries that differ in formulations from traditional confections.

Geography - Segment Analysis

North America dominated the carmine market with a share of more than 38%, followed by APAC and Europe. The economy of APAC is mainly influenced by the economic dynamics of countries such as China and India, but with growing foreign direct investment for economic development of South East Asia, the current scenario is changing. Considering milk output across major regions, Asia was mainly behind the global output expansion. Milk output expanded moderately in all the regions, including Africa, Central America and the Caribbean, Europe, North America, Oceania and South America.

In Asia, milk output increased to 346.9 million tonnes, up 3.9 percent from 2017, as outputs rose in India and Pakistan. In India, milk production increased by 5.6 percent in 2018, driven by an expanded dairy herd and incremental, but steady, improvements to milk collection systems and higher productivity. However, India’s milk output growth in 2018 was slightly lower than for the preceding two years. This resulted from limited fodder availability on account of the below-average rainfall received during the monsoon.

In Europe, milk output increased to 226.4 million tonnes in 2018, up 0.8 percent from 2017, with higher outputs in the European Union, the Russian Federation and Belarus, partially offset by a decline in Ukraine. Milk deliveries in the European Union reached 167.3 million tonnes, or about 1.7 million tonnes more, an increase of 1.0 percent from 2017. The rate of growth of output expansion could have been slightly higher if not for the 2018 summer drought that affected parts of Europe and the marginal decline of dairy herd numbers. Milk output in the Russian Federation increased to 31.5 million tonnes.
