With the rising levels of global warming and population growth resulting in further deforestation, diseases transmitted by insects and rodents have become a common occurrence. Rodents generally sneak into restaurant kitchens where potential illnesses are spread. Therefore, food venues must be regularly monitored for any endemic diseases they may spread, thus creating growth opportunities for the food certification market. The working class now depends on groceries and other groceries in supermarkets for their convenience. This has led to a notable increase in sales of frozen foods as they last longer in refrigerators and help save cooking time. There are different types of frozen foods, including processed meats and poultry, organic foods, baby foods, dairy products, beverages, and seafood. For protein requirements, people generally rely on products processed meats and poultry, which is why this application segment has been assessed to grow at a CAGR of 6% through 2025. The frozen food market has ensured the need for food certification bodies to support and help consumers to trust the product before repeating the purchase.

Rising disposable income in Muslim-based countries such as the Middle East should drive the adoption of halal certifications. As consumer concerns about meat consumption increase, demand for halal certified meat products is supposed to rise. The growing demand for organic products is estimated to provide high-value opportunities for the growth of the global food certification market. The rise in adulteration of food and food ingredients has led to an increase in the number of cases of food fraud, mislabeling and certifications. There has been a continuous hike in consumer demand for safe food products. This has led to the development of many food safety standards. As a result, the increase in the number of national standards for food safety management has created confusion and a greater need to harmonize these food safety standards. Industry experts have often suggested uniform and harmonized food safety standards to reduce the multiplicity of food laws and make them more effective.

Market Segmentation:

The global food certification market is segmented based on the type, application and risk category. The increasing propensity of consumers for natural and organic products is an important factor that is supposed to drive the growth of the market for non-certified certifications in the food and beverage industry. Regulators in some countries are insisting that food producers must have proper labeling on their products if they are allergen or gluten free, due to growing consumer concern about food allergies, which is encouraging the application for "free-from " certification.

The meat, poultry and seafood applications are supposed to register the highest demand by application. The number of embezzlements or adulterations is increasing day by day around the world, leading to many health problems that lead to better growth of meat certification. The religious concerns of consumers, especially the Jewish and Muslim communities, are driving the demand for products certified to be true to their beliefs, therefore the market is driven by halal and kosher certifications for meat products.

By risk category, the high-risk foods are often prone to bacterial contamination due to their high moisture content. The population that consumes these high-risk foods is very large, which creates a food security problem. Therefore, strict regulatory standards are givern major importance during the processing, storage and transportation stages of these products.

However, food operations are affected around the world due to the recent coronavirus outbreak. Information technology has had an impact on the meat products market due to negative publicity on social media about the health risks associated with the consumption of animal products.
