Nowadays, consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about their health, and thus, they are paying more attention to their lifestyles and dietary habits. In the last few decades, the world has experienced a rapid surge in population. According to the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), the world population is expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, an increase of 22% from around 8.0 billion in 2022. The global demand for healthy and nutrition-rich diets is rising with the growing world population. Moreover, as per FAO’s projection, this rapidly growing population will increase food demand by 70% in 2050. In recent years, consumers have become more conscious about the quality and safety of the food they consume, and they are gradually seeking products that are free from artificial ingredients. Clean-label ingredients are natural, free from artificial ingredients, and sourced from organic or non-GMO sources. These ingredients are safer, healthier, and more sustainable than artificial ones.
Furthermore, the increasing consumer awareness regarding health risks related to artificial ingredients, such as artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, and preservatives, has driven consumers to seek out products with cleaner labels. Consumers are more inclined to read product labels and ingredients and prefer products without artificial ingredients. For instance, as per the Tate & Lyle Proprietary Research survey, more than 84% of consumers from 14 countries had read ingredient labels and preferred beverages with no artificial ingredients in 2020. This shift in consumer preferences leads to increased demand for clean label ingredients across various food and beverage sectors, including bakery, dairy, beverages, snacks, and sauces. Thus, food and beverage manufacturers are also increasingly reformulating their products to meet the changing consumer demand for natural and organic ingredients. For instance, in June 2021, the U.S.-based company, International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF) unveiled a new clean-label solution for South American Bakers. The company had launched a clean label ingredient, GRINDSTED POWERBake Clean, as an alternative ingredient to currently used dough strengtheners in bread formulations. In February 2021, BENEO GmbH (Germany), a functional ingredients manufacturer, launched and made available throughout the world the first ever functional native rice starch, Remypure S52 P, for clean label applications in cold processed sauces, dressings, dairy desserts, and bakery fillings.
Therefore, the growing consumer preference for organic and natural food ingredients and increasing consumer awareness regarding the health and environmental benefits of clean label products are expected to drive the growth of the clean label ingredients market.
