Strategic development initiatives by key market players and rising sustainability concerns are among the critical factors attributed to drive the Middle East & Africa fermented flavor and fragrance ingredients market growth.

Over the past few years, climate change has affected the earth's natural ecosystems and posed a significant threat to the well-being of people. Thus, consumers are becoming conscious of the environmental impact associated with the products they use and assert a preference for sustainable ones. They are willing to pay extra for products and services from companies committed to sustainability principles, such as a positive environmental and social impact. Thus, the industry's practices are evolving to meet the health-consciousness of consumers and demands for sustainability and environmental benefits.

Flavors and fragrances made via synthetic extraction processes consist of chemicals and other fossil fuels, which can harm the environment and human health. The flavors and fragrances made using fossil fuels increase carbon (CO2) emissions and greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, synthetic vanilla flavor called vanillin is significantly more used flavor than natural vanilla flavors owing to its affordability and availability. But vanillin is synthetically manufactured from fossil fuel and wood pulp. Moreover, the yield of natural vanilla flavor extracted from vanilla pods is extremely low. It takes 500 Kg of vanilla pods to obtain 1 Kg of flavor. Thus, both the traditionally used natural process and synthetic process of flavors and fragrances are not sustainable. Similarly, the production of raspberry aroma by farming would require more than 100 metric ton of raspberries, which translates to ~40 football fields of cultivated acreage-a highly unsustainable use of land. Thus, the production of synthetic ingredients as well as traditionally produced natural ingredients can harm the environment.

Fermentation is an alternative technology developed to produce flavors and fragrances through sustainable methods and is also considered "natural." Thus, the flavors and fragrances produced by fermentation do not harm the environment and are labeled as natural and sustainable ingredients. Thus, rising sustainability concerns among end-use industries such as food & beverages, perfumeries, cosmetics, and personal care boost the demand for fermented flavors and fragrances across the globe, thereby favoring the market growth.
