$18.5 billion is the projected size of the global natural flavors and fragrances market by 2035, up from $10.3 billion in 2025 at a 6.1% CAGR.
Clean-label demand and tighter limits on synthetic additives are driving food, beverage and personal-care makers to shift toward plant-derived and biotech-produced ingredients.
Asia-Pacific held the largest regional share at 34.2% in 2025, worth $3.5 billion, while flavors led applications with 56.2% and liquid formats dominated at 58.3%.
Distillation remained the top production technology at 43.6%, though fermentation is gaining ground as producers use biotech to reduce crop dependence and supply volatility.
Major suppliers are scaling capacity and efficiency to capture that growth, with MANE opening a lower-energy Dahej plant and BASF expanding fermentation-based aroma ingredients.
