Food Borne Diseases Lead to Demand in Food Certification Market

Many factors are providing tailwinds to the market for food certification worldwide. One of those is the rising instances of food borne diseases. Awareness about the same has fuelled the demand for certified products that have passed stringent tests ensuring its quality. Besides, rising brand consciousness among consumers whose disposable incomes are rising by the day has also proved beneficial for the food certification market. They are now keener on certified organic food, poultry, fresh food, and meat products.

High Cost of Certifications Deter Demand

Providing headwinds to the food certification market worldwide, on the other hand, is the high price of international certifications which has prevented several processing units and food manufacturers to avoid food certification. Explains the lead analyst of our report, "Deep-pocketed, big companies are typically inclined to spend on expensive food certification logos, namely Halal or Organic. This adds to their brand value. But not so with smaller companies for whom obtaining such labels is an expensive proposition that increases costs."

Notwithstanding such setbacks, the market is expected to rise owing to the strict regulations mandating food certification. Savvy players are seen training their sights on the emerging economies which are relatively under-tapped so far but hold out a lot of potential.
