The food certification market is evaluated at US$8.284 billion for 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.09%, reaching a market size of US$10.616 billion by 2030.
Food certification refers to the verification of products, processes, or systems in the food supply chain to meet the accepted safety parameters based on different food safety standard types. It implies that the food product complies with the respective food standards and is considered safe for consumption after numerous tests, inspections, and audits. The growing consumption of food production globally due to increased consumption may be attributed to the rising global population. Growing food exports are significantly contributing to market growth during the next five years.
Stringent government regulations regarding the consumption of healthy food and the presence of strict standards in the food applications segment are also positively driving the food certification market during the coming five years. The growing number of cases related to foodborne diseases further increases the burden on food-producing companies to make food safer and cleaner for human consumption. This, in turn, is further propelling the market players' business growth opportunities over the forecast period.
