Unlocking The Future of Non-GMO Foods and Animal Feed Markets Worldwide

Why are Non-genetically modified products gaining momentum?

An increasing number of consumers worldwide are pivoting towards non-genetically modified (non-GMO) products, reflecting in their dietary preferences and purchasing habits. Particularly in the food and animal feed markets, this shift is largely attributed to growing health awareness, environmental concerns, and the desire for naturally sourced nutrients. Consumer demand for transparency in food production processes is catalyzing food-manufacturing firms to shift toward non-GMO ingredients.

How are manufacturers responding to this trend?

Manufacturers are accommodating consumer preferences in their strategic operations. Their responses range from obtaining non-GMO verification for their products to investing heavily in research and development of non-GMO crops and animal feeds. This trend has resulted in the burgeoning of non-GMO product lines allowing manufacturers to command a premium both in local and export markets.

What does the future hold for non-GMO markets?

As consumer consciousness continues to intensify, the future of non-GMO markets looks promising worldwide. However, the regulatory landscape presents a significant hurdle. Varying standards and certification requirements across different markets add complexity for manufacturers. Additionally, supply chain transparency, from farm to plate, is instrumental in building consumer trust. Therefore, while growth is expected in these markets, the rate of expansion will be shaped by how manufacturers manage such hurdles.
