Additionally, a major contributor to the growth of the liquid flavor market is the growing popularity of convenience foods and beverages, leading to an increased demand for liquid flavors in products such as ready-to-drink beverages, snacks, and processed foods. Liquid flavors offer manufacturers an easy and efficient way to incorporate flavor into their products.
