Natamycin Market Top Scenario, SWOT Analysis, Growth, Business Overview & Forecast 2025


22th November, 2018- Natamycin Market is basically a naturally occurring antifungal agent formed in the process of fermentation by the bacterium called as ‘Streptomyces natalensis”. It is said to be generally found in soil. It has a reduced level of solubility in water still the studies have proved it to be quite effective at very low levels. Its least level of inhibitory concentration is less than 10 ppm for majority of the molds. It is also popularly known as pimaricin or natacyn. It is also available as an unscented, white, granular powder as well as in the form of crystalline solid. It is noted that there has been slow adoption in the regions of North America and Latin America that may become a major factor in impeding the natamycin market growth.



As far as the commercial filed is concerned, Natamycin can be manufactured via industrial scale fermentation process with the assistance of Streptomyces natalensis followed by separation of the antibiotic either by way of broth extraction or through separation of the mycelium. Other than that, it is fundamentally employed as a vital component in packaged foods and beverages, particularly in dairy and meat products in order to carry out preservation. Moreover, it is deemed as a desired alternative for conventional chemical preservatives. The advantages that raise the importance of Natamycin over chemical preservatives entail neutral taste or flavor impact and reduced pH dependence for efficacy. The key natamycin market players operating in the Natamycin Market include D & F Control Systems Inc., Toku-E Company, Qingdao FTZ United International Inc., and DSM Food Specialties.

Not only that, it can be employed in a wide range of methods like aqueous suspensions that can be applied on the products’ surface or the product can be dipped into the solution. It can also be utilized in powdered forms that can be sprinkled on the food product. It also finds its applications in pharmaceuticals and drugs as antifungal preservatives as well as in antifungal creams or solutions for skin, eyes or oral infection. It is said that it is not taken up by the body plus it does not give rise to any systemic infections among human beings. Prominent factors that are contributing largely in raising the natamycin market share include rise in the overall demand for producing preservatives for dairy and meat food products including cheese and sausages, augmentation of global population, and rise in the employment of antifungal pharmaceutical products. On the other hand, there are various artificial chemical preservatives available as an alternative for Natamycin that can also turn as a major challenge for the respective market.
