Clean Water Driving The Market

According to Straits Research, “The global clean label ingredients market revenue was valued at USD 20.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 44.46 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 8.90 from 2022 to 2030.” Consumption of bacteria- and chemical-free water increases with consumer awareness about the importance of safe, nutrient-rich drinking water.

In addition, the increasing use of these ingredients in restaurants, coffee shops, and hotels to meet the preferences and tastes of customers has a positive effect on their overall sales.

Due to the increasing number of synthetic products on the market, the government regulatory bodies of various countries are becoming involved in the labelling of products from various industries.

This is a result of the increasing number of consumers who are extremely conscientious about the food and beverages they consume. The absence of artificial ingredients is one of the most sought-after free-from claims, compelling food and beverage manufacturers to eliminate their use.

The growth of the market is attributable to the rising interest in identifying the ingredients present in food and beverage products worldwide, particularly among health-conscious consumers. In recent years, free-from products have exploded in popularity across all retail formats. The increasing demand for transparent and natural ingredients aimed at children has prompted parents to favour foods with clean ingredient labels for their children.
