RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The study involved two major segments in estimating the current size of the clean label ingredients market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer, and parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

Market Definition

According to the Institute of Food Technologists, a Clean label means making a product using as few ingredients as possible and making sure those ingredients are items that consumers recognize and think of as wholesome—ingredients that consumers might use at home. It seeks out foods with easy-to-recognize ingredients and no artificial ingredients or synthetic chemicals, and it has become associated with “trust” with manufacturers of food.

Based on inferences drawn from multiple sources and taking into consideration the description of ‘clean label’ by stakeholders such as food ingredient manufacturers and consumers; ‘clean label’ ingredients are defined as food additives and ingredients such as colors, flavors, fruit & vegetable ingredients, starches & sweeteners, flours, malt, preservatives, fermentation ingredients, and others that comply with any or all of the primary factors, and at least one of the secondary factors mentioned below.

Primary factors:

• Fewer product ingredients with no chemical name and easy to understand
• No artificial additives or ingredients

Secondary factors:

• Natural
• Organic
• Non-GMO

Further, there is no standard regulatory definition for clean label ingredients. These are largely defined based on their meaning (clean label’s meaning) to end consumers.
