The green preservatives market in 2023 was worth USD 1.37 billion and is expected to be worth USD 2.43 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 7.45% during the forecast period.

 

This green preservatives market is influenced by the rising market demand for non-synthetic, chemical-free products and the ill effects of chemical preservatives on health and the environment. Today’s global consumers are increasingly turning to organic and clean-label foods, with the natural food and personal care sector experiencing growth rates of more than 15% in recent years. There is a growing preference for green or natural preservatives such as essential oils and organic acids derived from plant origin since they can prolong the shelf life of products without negative effects.

 

For instance, applying rosemary extract as a natural preservative in food and cosmetics has become popular since it effectively acts as an antioxidant. Manufacturers are gradually looking for new, environmentally friendly preservatives for the various industrial applications of personal care, food and beverages, and medicines among other consumer products made from natural products. This demand is further backed up by the regulations in regional markets such as Europe, which favor the use of bio-degradable and nontoxic preservatives in market products.

 

The market for green preservatives has a lot of potential, mainly due to the shifting consumer preferences and growing numbers of people who opt for natural and ecologically friendly products. With the global organic food and personal care markets seeing annual growth rates of over 10%, there is a strong demand for natural preservatives that maintain product freshness without harmful chemicals. This trend is particularly evident in the food industry, where nearly 40% of consumers now seek products labeled as natural or organic.

 

For instance, grapefruit seed extract and citric acid as natural preservatives in food and cosmetics products have emerged as they are anti-microbial and fit the clean label trends. This shift towards eco-friendly solutions presents a major opportunity for companies to reinvent the green preservative industry.
