The Agriculture Food Labeling System Market size was valued at USD 77.6 Million in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 116.7 Million by 2030 at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2022 to 2030. Agriculture food labels are used to print key information, such as the list of ingredients, quality standards, and nutritional value of the food products.
It also includes information about the product identity and statement of the net content of the product. Agricultural food labels are designed to protect the health and well-being of consumers by accurately displaying the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients contained in the product. It also conveys information about potential allergens, additives, or ingredients that could affect some consumers.
The demand for agricultural food labeling systems is attributed to the mandate and laws that enforce the disclosure of all the ingredients and nutrient content of food items. Displaying such information on the product helps consumers decide if the food product is suitable for their consumption. For instance, in 2021, England enacted a new mandate, Natasha law, which deals with the legislation of the food labeling system imposed in the region. It declared that producers must provide detailed information on all the ingredients and accurate data about allergens on pre-packed direct sale foods (PPDS).
Furthermore, growing public awareness and rising safety concerns regarding the consumption of food items coupled with surging demand for organic food products drive the growth of the agriculture food labeling system market. Moreover, the introduction of new schemes in the labeling system that provide detailed information on food products, such as the nutritional value, net quantity, and ingredient list, is expected to propel the market growth.
For instance, in October 2020, the Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture of Germany announced the implementation of the ‘nutri-score labeling scheme’ for displaying the rating of the nutritional composition of a food product to ensure that buyers are well-informed about the nutritional quality.
However, a surge in the number of food frauds by food sellers, which involve misleading consumers through false representations on a package, hamper the market growth. On the contrary, several food labeling organizations provide guidelines on the safe packaging of food products, which is expected to create ample growth opportunities in the future.
For instance, in June 2021, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) announced a new regime, which was implemented in December 2021, enabled consumers to make informed choices about their food purchases regarding packaged food products and purchases from restaurants and e-commerce platforms.
