Market dynamics
4 factors across 3 forcesGrowing Health-conscious Consumer
Well-being is becoming a global movement as consumers seek to maintain healthy lives for as long as possible, especially as the average lifespan continues to rise. Over the past decade, industrialization, urbanization, economic development, and globalization have led to rapid changes in diets and lifestyles, significantly impacting health and nutritional status, particularly in developing countries.
The world population is growing rapidly. According to the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), the global population is expected to grow by 75 million, or 1.1%, annually. This growth is projected to reach 9.9 billion by 2050, an approximate 33% increase from 2017. The expanding global population significantly increases the demand for high-nutritional and chemical-free food products. Consequently, the need for non-chemically treated food products to cater to this growing population is expected to boost the demand for organic foods.
Nowadays, consumers are more conscious of their health, understanding that proper nutrition and hydration are vital for the human body. Consuming safe and quality foods is also a preventative measure to avoid future healthcare costs. People who eat a well-balanced diet tend to be healthier, have stronger immune systems, and are at a lower risk of chronic illnesses and infectious diseases. For instance, in 2022, health consciousness drove the demand for organic food in Canada, where 23% of Canadians purchased more organic products than in the previous year.
As consumers increasingly seek safe foods, there is a substantial demand for organic foods that meet specific dietary needs, including gluten-free, clean-label, whole grain, reduced-calorie, and mineral-fortified products. The interest in organic foods is largely due to the absence of chemicals used in their cultivation. Additionally, two in five people now seek organic foods all or most of the time.
Thus, the growing health awareness has increased the demand for organic foods that support better health. The trend towards all-natural and clean-label products within the food and beverage market is expected to further drive the demand for organic food products. Moreover, concerns about the environment and the impact of chemical residues on agricultural land are prompting consumers to move towards organic food products.
Increasing Demand for Clean Label Products
Clean-label is a consumer-driven initiative shaped primarily by perceptions of ingredient acceptability. Clean-label products contain natural, familiar, and simple ingredients. The rising demand for organic, natural, and "free from" artificial ingredients food products is expected to drive the global demand for plant extracts.
Consumers are becoming more health-conscious, seeking natural and organic products like clean-label items for their perceived health benefits and the desire to avoid synthetic chemicals and additives. The clean-label trend is growing steadily across regions, with consumers paying more attention to ingredient lists, health claims, and product quality. In response, manufacturers are reformulating products to meet clean-label standards and consumer expectations.
Moreover, the global sales of clean-label food ingredients are projected to reach around USD 64.1 billion by 2026, according to Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. (U.S.). Thus, the increasing demand for clean-label products is supporting the growth of the organic food market.
