Several health organizations and food safety associations are prohibiting the usage of various artificial flavorings in food & beverages. For instance, on October 5th, 2018, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned seven synthetic flavorings that are associated with cancer. FDA stated to use the naturally extracted counterparts of the banned flavors as they are a safer option. Previously, FDA banned eight synthetic flavorings, which were found in ice creams, baked goods, candy, and beverages. These substances used in flavorings had been known to cause cancer in humans.

This dominance is attributed to factors such as a surge in the consumption rate of vegan food & beverage products, the rise in the demand for functional food products, and the increase in awareness related to the health benefits associated with the consumption of clean-label food products among consumers. Furthermore, the region has several small and medium-sized manufacturers of plant extracts that are well-versed with the processing of plant extracts and aware of the benefits offered by them.
