The Butterfly Pea Flowers Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2020 to 2027 to reach $102.4 million by 2027. The growth in the butterfly pea flowers market is mainly driven by factors, such as the growing use of butterfly pea flower products as natural food colors, increasing demand for healthy tea alternatives, and a wide range of butterfly pea flower benefits. However, dynamic government regulations are expected to restrain the future growth of this market.
The Impact of COVID-19 On the Butterfly Pea Flowers Market
Border closures, quarantines, and supply chain and trade disruptions could restrict people’s access to sufficient/diverse and nutritious food sources, especially in countries hit hard by the virus or already affected by high levels of food insecurity. The worldwide supply chain includes distribution, packaging, as well as the sourcing of raw materials. Lockdowns have disrupted the transportation of packaged foods, prepared foods, and non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. Also, the shutting down of restaurants and quick-service facilities due to the lockdowns has hindered the growth of the food & beverage industry to a large extent.
In the wake of the global health crisis, nutritious and diverse food sources are in short supply. Also, greater food insecurity is prevalent in regions hit hard by COVID-19. Thus, the negative impact on the global economy, supply chains, and trade has indirectly hampered the growth of the butterfly pea flowers market to an extent. Supermarket chains have started enforcing new rules to curb panic buying, while suppliers and factory workers have taken additional health and safety measures to keep consumers safe.
Moreover, the manufacturers of consumer-packaged food & beverage products face significantly reduced consumption and disrupted supply chains. The food & beverage industry has witnessed a slight downfall due to the lockdowns imposed across various countries. This scenario has also negatively impacted the beverages industry since people are opting to buy only essential products.
Government bodies have passed various rules and regulations for the purchase of essential goods. The majority of the consumers are buying essential products, which has caused a rapid decline in the consumption of beverages. According to trade organizations in the nutritional products industry, there has been a significant impact on many points in the global supply chain for functional foods and dietary supplements, which has, in turn, lowered the sales and consumption of butterfly pea flowers, impacting the butterfly pea flowers market.

Growing Demand for Natural Food Colors
Butterfly pea flowers (Clitoria ternatea) have been widely used in foods and drinks due to their natural blue shade and color-changing properties. These flowers are native to Southeast Asia, where they are used in teas and natural food. Butterfly pea flower is rich in anthocyanin, a potent antioxidant that changes color to purple when mixed with acidic substances, like lemon juice. This color-changing characteristic makes the butterfly pea flower a trending ingredient for use in food and beverage processing. For instance, in 2018, Starbucks launched the Butterfly Pea Lemonade Cold Brew, a color-changing cold brew layered with lemonade and topped with cold brew coffee. It is not only their color, heritage, and natural profile that makes butterfly pea flowers fascinating, but also their apparent robust health benefits.
The demand for natural food colors over synthetic food colors is increasing due to the growing consumer awareness regarding organic products, health hazards associated with synthetic colors, and health benefits of natural food colors. Rapid use of artificial production sources to increase food production has led to various health hazards. Rising health consciousness and inclination toward environment-friendly products drive the demand for naturally grown food products worldwide. Thus, due to the growing demand for natural food products, food manufacturers are increasingly using natural food colors to retain the attractiveness of foods and beverages after processing. While opportunities exist to develop more unique colors in food and drinks, there remains a demand for these colors to be sourced naturally. Globally, the natural food colors market is expected to reach USD 3.2 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 8.4% during 2019-2027 (Source: Meticulous Research).
The demand for organic foods is constantly increasing mainly due to the consumers' perception that they are healthier and safer than conventional foods. For instance, the global organic food market is expected to register a CAGR of 12.2% from 2020 to 2027 to reach USD 272.18 billion by 2027 (Source: Meticulous Research). Organic food is produced without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics, and genetically updated_at organisms (GMOs). Natural food colors are widely used in the manufacture of organic foods to make them more attractive. Furthermore, the expansion of the food & beverage industry positively impacts the global natural food colors market, as natural food consumption is increasing worldwide.
Butterfly pea flower is a commonly used ingredient in Southeast Asian countries due to its vibrant hue, making it perfect for traditional events. However, it is now being increasingly used as a natural food coloring agent and is being incorporated into food and drinks due to its eye-catching effects. It has practically no scent or flavor, making it the perfect food coloring agent for any dish or drink.
