A rising health-conscious consumer base continually boosts the preference for organic food. For example, as reported by the Organic Trade Association, a business organization based in the US, in June 2022, organic food sales in the US exceeded $60 billion for the first time. Breaking a record, the sales reached $67.6 billion, marking a 4% sales value growth rate. This rate was nearly double the growth pace of 2021, when the sales tally of organic food stood at $61.7 billion. Thus, growing consumer knowledge about the benefits of organic food is predicted to fuel the expansion of the clean-label ingredients market.

Which Emerging Market Trends Are Altering The Clean Label Ingredients Industry?
Major companies in the clean-label ingredients market are pioneering the creation of new clean-label dietary fibers to maintain their market standing. Dietary fibers, which are non-digestible carbohydrates found in plants, enhance digestive health, stabilize blood sugar, and give a feeling of satiety. For example, Ingredion Incorporated, a US-based food corporation, introduced two citrus-based dietary fibers, dubbed Fibertex CF 502 and Fibertex CF 102, in July 2022. This move was in direct response to the surging demand for clean labels and continued support of health and wellness trends. These fibers, derived from under-utilized by-products, boast a dietary fiber content of over 90%. They offer an alternative to ingredients like fats, hydrocolloids, and chemically altered starches, aiding in the reduction of fat, sugar, and caloric content in various uses. These fibers are viewed as the upcoming trend in clean-label ingredients and they enhance the nutritional value, support sustainability, and boost sensory experiences.
