What is Vanilla and vanillin?
Vanilla refers to a flavoring ingredient obtained from the pods of orchids that offers antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antimutagenic properties. It assists in protecting the body against bacteria, mold, and yeast and reducing the rate of mutations in cells. It also enables the body to inhibit angiogenesis, which is the formation process of new blood vessels. On the other hand, vanillin is an aromatic compound extracted from cured vanilla beans that is a major flavor component of vanilla. Vanilla and vanillin are used in various culinary preparations to improve their quality, texture, and taste and extend their shelf-life. They are also utilized in herbicides to protect against disease ridden crops, soil, and seeds.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a significant impact on the vanilla and vanillin industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. The restrictions on international trade, transportation, and logistics disrupted the supply chain of vanilla and vanillin products. The closure of international borders and a decrease in air freight capacity led to delays in the transportation of vanilla beans and vanillin products, which resulted in a shortage of supply in the market. This caused an increase in the prices of vanilla beans, which made it the second most expensive spice in the world after saffron. Furthermore, the pandemic also affected the labor force in the vanilla industry. The lockdowns and restrictions on the movement led to a shortage of laborers in the vanilla fields, which caused a delay in the harvesting and processing of vanilla beans. This resulted in a decline in the quality of vanilla beans and a reduction in the overall production of vanilla and vanillin products. Moreover, the closure of restaurants, bakeries, and other food-related businesses due to the pandemic led to a decline in the demand for vanilla and vanillin products. However, with the ease of restrictions and a gradual recovery in the global economy, there was a rise in the need for organic food products and increased consumer awareness for natural and healthier food and drink products.
Vanilla and vanillin are used as a sweetener or flavoring agents in the preparation of various food products and beverages, including chocolate, shakes, muffins, ice cream, jam, jellies, candies, smoothies, cookies, cake, and biscuits, to enhance the taste and aroma of these products. This, coupled with the burgeoning food and beverage (F&B) industry, represents one of the major factors propelling the market growth around the world. Moreover, the increasing consumer preferences towards low-calorie processed food products and beverages on account of the rising health consciousness among the masses is favoring the growth of the market. In addition, the growing use of vanilla and vanillin in the pharmaceutical industry to add sweetness and viscosity to different medicines and the increasing need for prescription drugs is influencing the market positively. Besides this, there is a rise in the utilization of vanilla and vanillin in the production of personal care and cosmetic products, including shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers, lotions, face masks, face wash, cleansers, and foundations. This, along with the growing sales of personal care and cosmetic products, is creating a positive outlook for the market.
