Natural flavor extracts are therefore being used by food producers to satisfy changing customer demands, thus it propels market expansion.

High manufacturing costs result from the premium pricing of raw ingredients such organic fruits, herbs, and spices, which lowers the affordability of products for customers. Manufacturers struggle to strike a balance between price and quality, which restricts their ability to grow their markets. The demand for natural flavor extracts is further restrained in price-sensitive areas by this cost barrier, which also promotes the use of synthetic substitutes, which limits market expansion.
