Factors Affecting the Growth of the Carmine Market Industry:

• Rising Demand for Natural Pigments

The market for carmine is surging as consumers and manufacturers transition towards safer, more natural, more plant-based pigments. The presence of synthetic unhealthy additives has raised awareness and prompted many consumer industries (food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals) to pursue carmine for its vibrant red hue and natural source. Clean-label movements are paving the way towards more transparency and sourcing of consumer products, thus solidifying the following trend of manufacturing with carmine. However, by examining carmine’s unethical sourcing, it could drive innovation developing alternative natural dyes, thus providing opportunities and challenges for suppliers.

• Expanding Applications in Cosmetics

Carmine’s rise in demand in the cosmetic world is providing stability, and consumers are liking the vibrancy/color-pop. Brands are using cochineal carmine in lipsticks, blushes and eyeshadows, showcasing the cosmetic utility of natural pigments and filling the demand for durable pigments. The rise in vegan and cruelty-free trends in the beauty space has created challenges, but many consumers still desire the best-performing products made with carmine. As our beauty standards continue to evolve over time, product developers and brands will continue to work toward striking a balance between a concept of ‘ethically sourced’ carmine while developing the highest quality ingredients, allowing carmine to remain a staple in professional cosmetic formulations.

• Regional Supply Chain Shifts

Carminic supply chains are shifting in light of geopolitical and environmental challenges. Production continues to be concentrated in South America, with fluctuating decline in theability to host, the effects of climate variability to carmine insect farming, etc..While price and supply are being impacted, the potential for cochineal production to be forced out of the European and North American markets is compounded by increasing regulations on the import of carmines, leading suppliers to middle steps to reassess their paths to sustainability. This set of factors is influencing why industry stakeholders are now considering investments in closed loop production and sourcing solutions that can stabilize the market while continuing to address concerns over ecosystems, working conditions, and wages. To access the global carmine market, the industry needs to catch up to recent arrangements in differing geopolitical working arrangements.
