For 2012, based on comparison of major currency rates (on Dec. 31), the CHF/USD (Swiss Franc vs. US$) had an increase of 2.5%, and the EUR/USD (Euro vs. US$) gained 1.7%. The GPB/USD (British pound vs. US$) increased 4.7% and the Brazilian Real (BRL/USD) declined 9.1%. The JPY/USD (Japanese Yen vs. US$) had a decrease of 10.9% and the CNY/USD (Chinese Yuan v. US$) increased of 1% while the INR/USD (Indian Rupee v. US$) decreased 3.3%. However, comparing single points in time can be somewhat misleading as during the year major currency swings occurred, particulary in the EU countries due to the continuing economic instability. For a number of major companies (e.g., Mane, Firmenich, Givaudan, Symrise, Frutarom) 2012 was remarkably successful with some of the largest year-to-year gains in recent years. Overall we estimate that the total market grew about 5%+ in US $ from 2011.
With the acquisition by Wild Flavors of certain assets of A. M. Todd's operations in November 2011, and Wild Flavors disclosure of sales for the first time, this now places them in our rankings.
It should be noted that with the acquisition by Kerry of Cargill Flavor systems in December of 2011 that Kerry Ingrededients & Flavors possibly should be in the Top Ten. It should also be noted that in Frutarom's Q2 & Half year 2012 press release, they estimated that Frutarom is the No. 7 company and Kerry was the No. 8 company.

to Sept, 30; Net sales given are Company consolidated sales, See
T.Hasegawa
Co., Ltd.
(6) Accounting Period of Sept.
1 to August 31 until year 2000. In year 2000, Universal Foods changed
is name to SENSIENT TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION and the Flavor division
is now known as Sensient Flavors. In addition, the accounting period
was changed to January 1 - December 31 starting in year 2000 and in
the "funny" way of making one look larger than they really are in
F&F, Sensient's Flavor sales from 2000-2011 included "Dehydrated
Products" (onion/garlic/chilies/dehydrated vegetables) which are
not flavors or fragrances in the conventional sense. In our
figures for Sensient, we have removed sales for the "Dehydrated
Products" for 2000-2011.
Note - for companies with
accounting periods that overlap calendar years, sales are stated for
the year in which the majority of sales periods occur. For example,
if Takasago's year end is March 31, 2002 we treat that as year 2001
sales. Similarly, if Firmenich's year end is June 30, 2002 we report
the year ending as 2001 sales. While not exact, we feel that this
treatment still provides an accurate overall basis for comparison.
Similarly, as noted, currency calculations are based on calendar year
end rates for comparison consistency. If fiscal year end rates were
employed the U.S. $ figures would be somewhat different, but totally
confuse comparisons.
Note - Top Ten Total for market share does
not neccessarily add due to rounding for individual
companies.
Note - all foreign currency
calculations for the table are based on December
31 rates for the year
indicated
(7) ** See also Note (6).
F&F figures in the tables for 2000-2011 for Sensient Flavors
are estimates as we
have removed reported sales of "Dehydrated products" . In 2006,
dehydrated products were 27% of the reported F&F sales, in 2007
& 2008 also about 27% of sales. In 2009 & 2010 we estimate
that dehydrated products were about 29% and 28% of sales,
respectively. In 2011, 28% of F&F sales were dehydrated products.
In 2012, 29% of F&F sales were dehydrated
products.
In the 2012 10-K report Sensient began
reporting F&F sales for the Asia Pacific, China and Flavors
Central & South America areas that previously appeared in
Corporate & Other. SPECIAL NOTE - However, for 2012, they
also include "intersegment" sales. They also included new figures
for 2010 & 2011 which are not reffected in our past years
figures.

For a few major companies (e.g, Mane, IFF, Sensient, Frutarom) 2011 was remarkably successful with some of the largest year-to-year gains in recent years. Overall we estimate that the total market was essentially flat with a marginal decline in US $ from 2010.

In 2010, based on comparison of major currency rates (on Dec. 31), the U$ $ had a decline of 10.8% against the Swiss Franc, a decrease of 14.8% against the Japanese Yen, a decrease of 3.6% against the Chinese Yuan and a decrease of 3.8% angainst the Indian Rupee. Conversely the dollar gained 6.8% against the Euro and 3.5% vs the British pound. However, comparing single points in time can be somewhat misleading as during the year major currency swings occurred, particulary in the EU countries due to economic instability. For most major companies, 2010 was remarkably successful with some of the largest year-to-year gains in recent years. We estimate that the total market grew ~9-10% in US $ from 2009. This growth was mainly fueled by emerging markets such as China, India and Brazil. For the numerous small flavor & fragrance companies in 2010, which continue to lose market share, we estimate an overall sales decline in US $ of about 2%.
Firmenich 2010-2011 Sales - Oct. 12, 2011 - For the financial year ended June 30, 2011, Firmenich posted sales of CHF 2,781.6 million, a decline of 3.9% in Swiss Francs but an increase of 5.8% in local currencies.

Operating income for the same period declined 2.0%. For the 4th Qtr, F&F sales were $206.1 million, up 5.2% while operating income declined 0.5%. As these figures include dehydrated products such as dehydrated vegetables that are about 28% of sales, we estimate that the sales of conventional flavors & fragrances in 2010 were about $582.6 million.

In US$ terms, Frutarom's sales increased by ~ 6.9% compared to the first nine months of 2009. Frutarom's revenues in 3d Qtr 2010 totaled US$ 111.0 M, an increase of 4.8% vs 2009. The weakening of the Euro and the Pound Sterling against the US$, which was slightly offset by the strengthening of the Swiss Franc and the NIS against the US$, resulted in a 0.6% decrease in sales in US$ terms compared to 3d Qtr 2009.

increase of 12.1% in local currencies and 8.7% in Swiss Francs,

At comparable exchange rates, sales would have increased 2% over the prior year. Net Income was $230 million versus $247 million in 2007. The change is mainly attributable to $32 million of higher interest expense in 2008, partially offset by higher volume and favorable currency impacts. 4th Qtr. Sales in local currency increased 2% versus the comparable period in 2007, whereas reported sales of $539 million were down 3% due to the strengthening U.S. dollar. 4th Qtr. flavor sales were up 3% in local currencies while reported sales worldwide declined 1%, reflecting the stronger U.S. dollar.

Rank is based on US$
equivalents
(1) Estimated 1999 Total World
Flavor & Fragrance Sales of US $12.9 Billion. Again in year
2000, we estimate that sales growth in local currencies was about
3-4%, but the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar against
major currencies once again leaves the estimated total market in U.S.
dollars at about U.S 12.9 Billion. For 2001 we believe that growth in
local currencies was about 2% or less and that in US $ equivalents
the market shrank to about U.S $12.7 Billion based on the strength of
the dollar. For 2002, we estimate that the total world market is
$15.1 billion. This sizable increase reflects a decrease in the value
of the U.S. dollar of about 17.8% vs. major currencies at 12/31/02 vs
12/31/01. The continued weakness of the U.S. dollar in 2003 against
the worlds major currencies (a decline of about 16%) again has
affected the size of the total market in U.S. dollars (the 2003
estimate being about U.S. $16.3 billion). For 2004, the U.S. $ was
again down about 5-6% against major currencies. We estimate that
growth in local currencies was about 3% resulting in a total market
size of about U.S. $17.7 billion. For 2005, the U.S. $ strengthened
by about 12% against major currencies. We estimate that growth in
local currencies was about 3% in 2005 resulting in a total market
size of about U.S. $16.0 billion. For 2006, the US $ declined in
value against the world's major currencies by about 9%. We estimate
that growth in local currencies was about 3-4% resulting in a total
market size of about U.S. $18 billion. For 2007,
the US $ again declined in value against the world's major currencies
by about 5.8%. For 2007, we estimate that growth in local currencies
was about 4.5% resulting in a total market size of about
U.S. $19.8 billion.
In 2008, based on comparison of major currency rates (on Dec.31), the U$ $ had a decline of 6% against the Swiss Franc, a 23% decline against the Japanese Yen and about a 5% gain aganst the Euro. However, comparing single points in time can be somewhat misleading as during the period of March to August 2008, the dollar had a decline of about 26% against the Euro in the same prior year period. In addition, the deteriorating worldwide economic situation during the last 1/3 of the year negatively impacted sales volumes. At best we estimate that the total market grew in 2008 at about 2.5-3.0% in US $.
It should be noted that Givaudan in 2001 estimated the total F&F market at "roughly" 15 billion CHF (U.S. $ 8.7 billion) while in a market study (April , 2001) ChemSynergy estimates the market for flavor and fragrance products is at present globally in the order of $12.24 billion. Also in a market study by The Freedonia Group, they estimated the world F&F market as $14.15 billion in 1999 with a projected growth to $18.4 billion by 2004. Get a copy of the Freedonia Press Release.
For a historical review of Total Market Size, see below.
Lazlo Unger, an economist at Givaudan , estimated the world F&F market at US 4.0 billion in 1979, 4.2 billion in 1981 (Source: Perfumer & Flavorist, Vol. 7, August/September, 1982, p. 52) and 7.0 billion in 1987 (Source: Perfumer & Flavorist, Vol .14, May/June, 1989, p. 43). Hans Hartmann of H&R estimated the world F&F market at US $ 7.8 billion in 1990 and 9.6 billion in 1995 (Source: Perfumer & Flavorist, Vol .21, March/April, 1996, p. 22), and the flavor market (only) at 4.5 billion in 1994 (Source: Perfumer & Flavorist, Vol . 20, September/October, 1995, p. 35). Ron Fenn of IFF estimated the total F&F market in 1995 at about US $ 10 billion and projected a market of 12 billion in the year 2000 (Source: Perfumer & Flavorist, Vol .23, March/April, 1996, p. 11 ) in concurrence with (or based on) Hartmann's estimates.

Flavors & Fragrances Group revenue grew 9.4% to $185.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2006, compared to $169.1 million in the prior year's fourth quarter. Quarterly operating income jumped 42.8% to $27.0 million compared to $18.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. As approximately 23% of F&F sales historically has been in dehydrated vegetables, we estimate that Sensient's true F&F sales were about $565 million for year 2006.
IFF 4th Qtr & Full Year 2006 Results - New York, N.Y., January 30, 2007 Fourth quarter 2006 sales totaled $514 million, up 11% from the prior year quarter; fragrance and flavor sales increased 13% and 7%, respectively.

Comments on Total Market Size (2006-2008)
Leffingwell & Associates includes "ingredient" sales in their sales estimations, some of which run through the sales of the major F&F companies (e.g. especially Givaudan, Firmenich, Symrise, Takasago & IFF). It should be obvious that other F&F suppliers such as Kerry, AM Todd, Huabao International, Ogawa, Kao, BASF., Rhodia. Citrus & Allied. Millennium Specialty Chemicals div. of Lyondell, Bell Flavors & Fragrances, Cargill Flavor Systems, Camphor & Allied Products, Etol d.d, Shiono Koryo Kaisha, Nagaoka Perfumery (all with estimated sales in the range of about $50-250 million), plus the other ~400 F&F companies, are important to the total market size. One of the controversial problems in estimating total market size has to do with potential (or real) double counting of sales. This is a particular issue in the case of "ingredients". For example - in the case of essential oils and aroma chemicals they are often sold twice, e.g., the producer sells to a company which then sells to another company. For essential oils, these often require a distillation and standardization before the are ready for the end user F&F company. Or in the case of aroma chemical producers, they may sell to another company (in bulk) who then repackages in smaller containers for further sale. These multiple transactions are considered by Leffingwell as being "value added" for the ultimate F&F customer and are therefore included in our figures for total market size.
It should be noted in 2005 Freedonia projected that the F&F market size would be about $18.6 billion by 2008 (http://www.freedoniagroup.com/brochure/18xx/1886smwe.pdf) and that Business Insights estimated the F&F market to be $18 billion in 2006 (http://www.globalbusinessinsights.com/content/rbig0001m.pdf). Similarly, in 2005 Frost and Sullivan estimated that the top five suppliers accounted for approximately 54 percent of the total F&F revenues (which translates to a slightly higher estimate for the total market size than the Leffingwell estimate). See http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/report-overview.pag?repid=B722-01-00-00-00&ctxst=FcmCtx1&ctxht=FcmCtx2&ctxhl=FcmCtx3&ctxixpLink=FcmCtx4&ctxixpLabel=FcmCtx5
However, we are aware that IAL Consultants (see below) estimates the 2006 market size at about $12.6 billion and that Firmenich estimated that for 2006-2007 that the total market size was closer to US$15 billion. Similarly, Givaudan has estimated the total market size at about CHF 17-18 billion (about US $16.9-17.9 billion) for 2008 ( see http://www.givaudan.com/staticweb/StaticFiles/GivaudanExtranet/Publications/fin_pubs/fy_report/2008/givaudan_2008_fy_an_fn.pdf ). Some of these discrepancies may arise from the "double counting" of sales issue discussed above.
A recent report on the size of the Essential oil and Aroma chemical market size is of interest.
BCC Research reports
on the 2006 market for Essential oils and Aroma
chemicals at http://www.bccresearch.com/report/CHM034B.html
BCC Research reports
"The worldwide flavors and fragrance
"ingredient" market is
estimated to be worth approximately $6.3 billion in
2006. Poised for an average annual growth rate
(AAGR) of 4.5% per year, this value should grow to $7.8 billion in
2011. Flavors and fragrances have similar economic and operational
characteristics, including research and development, the nature of
the creative and production processes, the manner in which the
products are distributed and the preferences of the customers. World
demand for quality essential oils and their derivatives is likely to
see increasing demand in the coming years, and natural products will
continue to remain an important part of the flavors and fragrances
industry. The market should reach $5.0 billion by 2011, an AAGR of
5.2%."
