SAP ERP Solution For Flavors and Fragrances Industry
Global flavors and fragrances industry will be worth USD 28.54 billion by 2030 and is expected to grow to USD 44.6 billion by 2033 (CAGR: 3.15%). It is projected to grow exponentially in the upcoming years due to rising personal care, brand awareness, increasing disposable income, growing demand from middle-class people, and increased reliance on processed foods, food additives, emerging cafe culture, and cloud kitchens.
The raw or synthetic ingredients used to manufacture consumer products, including prepared foods, beverages, and ready-to-eat items, need to be handled preciously and methodically to retain high standards and quality.

It also helps to monitor market trends while managing operations across all departments on a single solution and database for effective business management.

Business Challenges in Flavors and Fragrances Industry
1
Lack of Supply Chain Transparency
In the flavors and fragrances industry, sourcing natural and synthetic ingredients often involves multi-tiered global supplier networks. This complexity can obscure origin tracking, quality certifications (like FSSC 22000, ISO 22000), and lead times hindering end-to-end supply chain visibility.
2
Raw Material Procurement Volatility
The availability and pricing of key raw materials are subject to frequent fluctuations due to seasonality, geopolitical factors, and changing consumer trends (e.g., clean label, organic, non-GMO). Procurement teams in the flavor industry often face challenges in forecasting and securing critical ingredients without overstocking or risking stockouts.
3
Production Complexities Due to Recipe Variation
Every flavor formulation requires precise handling of components in terms of solubility, stability, dosage levels, allergen handling, and sensory profiles. These complexities demand flexible yet controlled production processes making standardization difficult to achieve.
4
Compliance Challenges
This industry is governed by stringent regulations such as FEMA GRAS, IFRA, REACH, FSMA, and FSSAI. Non-compliance can result in product recalls, reputational damage, and legal repercussions, especially in markets with strict rules.
5
Lack of Tracking and Visibility for Raw Material and Product
Flavor manufacturers often face gaps in traceability due to manual processes, fragmented systems, or siloed data. Limited visibility across the supply chain impairs the ability to trace raw materials back to their origin or track finished goods through distribution channels.
6
Lack of Streamlined Batches
Lack of integrated batch tracking systems and real-time monitoring leads to issues in formulation accuracy, deviation handling, and yield optimization. Without proper batch traceability, managing reworks, rejects, or customer-specific formulations becomes increasingly difficult.
