The global flavoring syrup and concentrate market grew from $55.35 billion in 2022 to $59.49 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%.

The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The flavoring syrup and concentrate market is expected to grow to $76.39 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.5%. The growth of the flavouring syrup and concentrate manufacturing markets is aided by stable economic growth forecasted in many developed and developing countries. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global GDP growth reached 3.3% in 2020 and 3.4% in 2021, both according to the IMF. Recovering commodity prices, after a significant decline in the historical period, are further expected to aid the market's growth.

Additionally, emerging markets are expected to continue to grow slightly faster than developed markets in the forecast period. Stable economic growth is expected to increase investments in the end-user markets, thereby driving the flavoring syrup and concentrate manufacturing market during the forecast period. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the flavouring syrup and concentrate manufacturing market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Food and beverage manufacturers depend on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. Also, restrictions on the trade of non-essential goods and fear of contamination through manufacturing facilities contributed to the decline. The outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the flavouring syrup and concentrate manufacturing market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Syrup and concentrate manufacturers are increasingly offering products made with natural and organic ingredients.
