Colorful ingredients such as beets, carrots, dill, parsley, and berries have been used for centuries to add natural hues to dishes.

This preservation process often results in unique colors, such as the vibrant shades of pickled cucumbers or sauerkraut.

In terms of type, the market is divided into Natural colours, synthetic or artificial colours, and naturally identical colours. In the Russian food colour market, the leading segment is currently synthetic or artificial colours. The demand for natural colours in Russia has been growing steadily, driven by consumer preferences for clean-label products and a desire for natural and authentic ingredients. Natural colours are often perceived as healthier and more environmentally friendly compared to synthetic alternatives. They are commonly used in products that promote a clean and natural image, including organic, natural, and health-focused food and beverage products. Natural colours in Russia are derived from various natural sources, such as fruits, vegetables, plants, and minerals. They are obtained through extraction, concentration, and purification processes. Examples of natural colours include beetroot extract (red or purple), turmeric extract (yellow), spirulina extract (green), and caramel (brown). In addition, naturally identical colours in Russia are chemically synthesised compounds that mimic the natural colour compounds found in specific ingredients. They have the same chemical structure and properties as natural colour compounds but are produced through artificial means. Examples of naturally identical colours include beta-carotene (orange) and lycopene (red), which mimic the colours naturally found in carrots and tomatoes, respectively. In addition, Russian consumers, like many consumers worldwide, are increasingly inclined towards natural and clean label products. Microorganism-based colors are derived from natural sources such as bacteria, fungi, and algae, making them an appealing option for those seeking natural and minimally processed ingredients. Based on application types, the segment includes processed food products, Beverages, Bakery and Confectionery Products, Meat, Poultry, and Seafood Products, oils and fats, dairy products, pet food, and others. In Russia, processed food products are the leading application. Food colours are often used in processed food products to enhance their visual appeal. Bright and vibrant colours can make food products more visually appealing, which can influence consumer perception and purchase decisions. During processing, certain food products may undergo colour changes or lose their natural colours due to factors like heat, light, or extended shelf life. Food colours can be added to compensate for these colour losses and maintain a consistent appearance. Based on the form types segment, which includes liquid, powder, and gel, in the Russia market, the liquid segment is leading the food colour market. Based on the solubility types segment, which includes dyes and Lakes, among the two, the dyes hold the highest market share. Due to this, dyes are often more cost-effective compared to natural and plant-based alternatives. This affordability makes them a preferred choice for large-scale food production and processed food products.
