Definition and Scope: Preservatives are substances added to products such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and personal care items to prevent spoilage, degradation, or contamination by microbial growth. They help extend the shelf life of products and maintain their quality and safety for consumption or use. Preservatives work by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, yeast, mold, and other microorganisms that can cause products to spoil or become unsafe. They are commonly used in a wide range of products to ensure their longevity and maintain their efficacy, freshness, and stability over time. The market for preservatives is driven by several key factors. One of the primary market trends is the increasing demand for convenience foods and ready-to-eat products, which require effective preservation methods to maintain their quality and safety during storage and transportation. In addition, the growing awareness among consumers about food safety and the importance of extending the shelf life of products has led to a rise in the use of preservatives in various food and beverage products. Furthermore, the expanding pharmaceutical and personal care industries, coupled with the rising demand for natural and organic preservatives, are also driving the growth of the preservatives market. At the same time, stringent regulations and standards regarding the use of preservatives in different products are influencing market dynamics and shaping the development of new preservative solutions to meet regulatory requirements while addressing consumer preferences for clean-label and natural products.
