Food Certification Market Analysis
The food certification market is projected to register a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period.
The long-term growth of the TIC (Testing, Inspection, and Certification) market has been aided by an increase in corporate outsourcing of R&D operations as well as quality assurance work to third parties, increasing trade flows, and a growing global demand for regulation of materials, products, systems, and processes.
In recent years, the food industry has seen a rapid digitalization of food safety. Businesses began to use digital solutions to record food safety data more accurately, reduce human error, and improve overall compliance. The industry is only expected to embrace this trend more as new software programs and automated applications for food businesses hit the market.
Moreover, the rising concerns about artificial products around the world are driving the market significantly. Since consumers were more focused on the types of food they were consuming and were also mostly preferring the food products that were properly labeled. The properly labeled food products and the food companies certified by various agencies play a vital role in the consumer's preferences because of the food safety these products carry. Bureau Veritas, which is one of the major players in this industry, estimated an organic growth in fiscal 2021 in marine-based food products. The company had a growth of 8.7% in operation compared to the pre-pandemic situation.
Additionally, the major factors that are expected to drive the growth of the food certification market during the forecast period include increasing consumer awareness about certified food products, growing demand for processed meat products certification, and the rising prevalence of foodborne illness. According to WHO (World Health Organization) every year, one in every ten people in the world suffers from illness after eating contaminated food, and 420 000 die, resulting in the loss of 33 million healthy life. Each year, low- and middle-income countries lose USD 110 billion in productivity and medical costs due to unsafe food. Children under the age accounts account for 40% of the foodborne disease burden, with 125 000 deaths each year.
