Food Certification Market - Forecast(2021 - 2026)

According to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) assessment on foodborne illnesses, one in every ten children fall ill or die due to consumption of contaminated food.[1] The burden of making food safer and cleaner to purchase, and eat, falls on the shoulders of the food and beverage (F&B) industry that is now highly reliant on food certification from regulatory authorities for establishing trust in consumers. With rising disposable personal income (DPI) among the urban population, families in metropolitan cities are dependent on packaged foods available at hypermarkets, convenience stores, and supermarkets. Increase in awareness of health problems has inspired consumers to carefully read product labels in order to know whether products have been properly certified or not. This has boosted the global food certification market to a market size of $8 billion in 2018. During the forecast period 2019-2025, the food certification market has been estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5%.

In the past few years, the primary focus of the European Commission has been on food safety and quality. They have listed stringent rules and regulations for producers and traders who wish to mark their products as “organic”. Similarly, they have also developed a framework for food certification, thereby empowering Europe to lead the market with a regional share of 38% in 2018.

Food Certification Market Growth Drivers:

Ø  Pest Control

With the world becoming warmer and a rising population leading to increased deforestation, diseases spread by insects and rodents have become a common phenomenon. Rodents generally scurry around in restaurant kitchens where they spend potential diseases. Food premises therefore need to be regularly checked for any endemic diseases that they might spread, thereby creating growth opportunities for the food certification market.

Ø  An Increase In Frozen Food

The working class is now resorting to purchasing groceries and other edibles from supermarkets, out of sheer convenience. This has led to a noticeable increase in sales of frozen foods as they last longer in refrigerators and help save cooking time. There are different types of frozen foods including processed meat and poultry, organic food, infant food, dairy products, beverages, and seafood. For protein requirement, people generally depend on processed meat and poultry products which is why this application segment has been evaluated to grow at a CAGR of 6% through to 2025. Frozen food market has ensured the need for food certification bodies to take charge and help consumers in trusting the product before making repeated purchases.
