Increase in consumption of confectionary products and increase in use of natural flavors in food & beverage industry fuel the demand for thaumatin, thereby accelerating the market growth. However, the cost of extraction of traumatic is high and limited availability if katemfe fruit restrain the market growth. The use of recombinant DNA technology to modify genes to produce thaumatin protein is expected to provide growth opportunity for the market.
