India Food Certification Market to grow with a CAGR of 5.35% through 2030

Increasing healthcare infrastructure and a supportive regulatory environment are the major drivers for the India Food Certification Market.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “India Food Certification Market Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition, Opportunity and Forecast, 2020-2030”, India Food Certification Market has valued at USD 0.19 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to witness an impressive growth in the forecast period with a CAGR of 5.35% through 2030. This can be due to collaborations and partnerships among leading companies with a diverse approach to merge the expertise of individual companies and to strengthen their position in the market. Brand reputation is a significant driver for the demand for food certification. When businesses seek and obtain food certifications, it positively influences their brand reputation and consumer trust. Food certifications add credibility to a brand. When a brand displays certification labels on its products, consumers view these products as trustworthy and reliable. This trust in the brand's commitment to quality and safety is essential for building a positive reputation. Brands with certifications stand out in a competitive marketplace. Certification labels differentiate products and signal that the brand goes the extra mile to meet or exceed established standards. This differentiation can attract consumers and lead to a stronger market presence. A strong brand reputation built on certifications instills confidence in consumers. They are more likely to choose products from brands they trust, which, in turn, drives sales and brand loyalty. Food recalls, contamination incidents, and quality issues can damage a brand's reputation. Certifications demonstrate a commitment to proactive risk mitigation, reducing the likelihood of such incidents and protecting the brand's image.

Brands that seek certifications communicate their transparency and authenticity to consumers. Certification labels provide evidence that the brand's claims about safety, quality, and ethical practices are valid and backed by independent assessments. Certifications often position a brand as premium or high-quality. Consumers associate certified products with a higher level of quality and are often willing to pay a premium for these products.

In August 2021, Bureau Veritas India has partnered with the Sattvik Council of India (SCI) to introduce the Sattvik (Vegetarian) Food Certification Scheme, offering top-tier expertise for food safety and quality assessment. Sattvik food, which is widely regarded as healthy, pure, nutritious, and spiritually significant by a substantial global community, necessitates the verification, validation, and testing of food ingredient sources and manufacturing processes to be certified as Sattvik Food. The Sattvik Certification scheme is a harmonious blend of food safety regulations and vegetarianism rooted in robust scientific and Vedic principles, with the primary aim of safeguarding consumers against foodborne illnesses and ensuring freedom from non-vegetarian contamination. SCI was founded with the mission of pioneering Quality Management Services (QMS) tailored specifically for vegetarian consumers in India and around the world. Consistency and standardization challenges are prevalent in the India Food Certification Market, and they can impact the effectiveness and credibility of certification processes. There is a multitude of certification bodies, both government and private, operating in the food certification sector. These bodies may have varying standards, interpretation of regulations, and assessment processes, leading to inconsistencies in certification outcomes. The lack of harmonization between different certification standards and requirements can lead to confusion for businesses seeking certification. This can result in the need for multiple certifications to access different markets or meet buyer demands. Regulations and standards can change over time, often due to evolving scientific knowledge or the introduction of new technologies. Keeping up with these changes and ensuring consistency with updated requirements can be challenging for both certification bodies and businesses. Different certification bodies or auditors may interpret standards differently, leading to variations in the certification process and outcomes. This lack of consistency can create confusion and frustration for businesses.
