• The flavoring carriers segment is projected to ascend at a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period, in terms of revenue. The carriers are diluents or solvents that are mixed with a flavoring agent and their primary function is to protect the flavoring agent. These carriers also aid inefficient mixing of the flavoring agent in end-use. For instance, alcohols such as ethyl alcohol or propylene glycol are used as carriers in liquid flavors. Cornstarch or gum acacia is used as a carrier for dry or powdered flavors.

• The alcoholic segment is expected to register a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2020 to 2028. The rising demand for alcoholic beverages, majorly including beer, wine, vodka, and gin is driving the segmental market growth.
