According to the latest research by InsightAce Analytic, the global Food Traceability market is valued at US$ 17.35 billion in 2021, and it is expected to grow a CAGR of 10.07% during a forecast period of 2022-2030. Food Traceability is the process that helps to track any food that will be used for human consumption. Food Traceability allows you to track and record the food history at different stages of food manufacturing, such as processing, packaging, production, and distribution. In addition, it helps to maintain food quality and safety. Different tools are used by the food manufacturers to monitor the food and to perform product recalls. The demand for food traceability has been rising in the market as it reduces food contamination, improves food quality, and records food history.
Major driving factors of the food traceability market are the increasing need for food safety, rising food contaminations and food adulterations, rising need for its applications in various fields such as packaging, logistics, retail, storage, and handling, legislative framework, and government certifications & standardizations. Furthermore, advanced food technologies, growth in the population, increased purchasing power, and a growing number of health-conscious people are enhancing the growth of the food traceability market. However, the high price of tools, complex procedures, lack of strict government laws for food safety is restraining the growth of this market.
The food traceability market is segmented into Products, Applications, End-users, and Regions. The Products segment is further bifurcated into RFID, Barcodes, Infrared, Biometrics, and other Products. The barcodes segment will be in scope due to its low price and advanced technologies. In terms of Applications, the market can be divided into Dairy Products, Meat, Poultry, and Seafood, Beverages, Fresh Produce, and others (grains, seeds, nuts).
