Non-compliance with regulations can result in product recalls and hinder market entry, thereby creating additional revenue constraints.
In addition, competition from synthetic flavor enhancers and substitutes poses a major threat to players in the global bay leaf market. While the trend toward natural ingredients offers these players benefits, the presence of cheaper synthetic alternatives that can mimic bay leaf flavors is a primary concern.
