Clean Label Ingredient Market Analysis
The Clean Label Ingredient Market size is estimated at USD 42.76 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 62.12 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.51% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Consumers demand clean labels on products to learn more about the product and the type of ingredients used before consumption. This interest in identifying the ingredients present in food and beverage products has triggered the growth of the clean label ingredients market. The growing demand for transparent and natural ingredients targeted at children has increasingly pushed parents to prefer clean label ingredient-based foods. Thus, companies are producing kids-specific product ranges to cater to such demand. For instance, Honest Organic Kids offers Apple Fruit Juice Drink with claims like no added sugar, no colors, no sweeteners, and no preservatives.
In addition, a growing preference for vegan nutrition and inclination toward vegan diets are registering rising prominence in countries like Germany, increasing demand for plant-based and vegan ingredients in the market, thus boosting demand for clean label ingredients. According to the USDA Foreign Agriculture Services, Germany has the highest rate of vegetarianism compared to its European neighbors, and the number of vegans reached over 1.5 million in 2022. Furthermore, stringent government regulations are leading to the adoption of safer, natural alternatives for all food categories worldwide. This has created new opportunities for food ingredient manufacturers to offer clean label ingredients. For instance, in the United Kingdom, the ‘free-from’ claims are regulated by the provisions of the General Food Law (Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002), while rules relating to gluten are regulated by Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011.
