The worldwide flavors and fragrance ingredient market is worth approximately $6.3 billion in 2006. Poised for an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 4.5% per year, this value should grow to $7.8 billion in 2011. Flavors and fragrances have similar economic and operational characteristics, including research and development, the nature of the creative and production processes, the manner in which the products are distributed and the preferences of the customers.
World demand for quality essential oils and their derivatives is likely to see increasing demand in the coming years, and natural products will continue to remain an important part of the flavors and fragrances industry. The market should reach $5.0 billion by 2011, an AAGR of 5.2%.
End-user sectors such as cosmetics, toiletries, soaps, detergents, air freshener and fine fragrances are expected to grow at AAGRs ranging from 4.9% to 4.4% through 2011, depending on the market.
