Rising Health Consciousness and Sustainable Farming Practices Drive Market Growth
The growing health consciousness among consumers, coupled with a heightened focus on sustainable farming practices, is a significant driver of the non-GMO food market's expansion. As urbanization accelerates and consumer purchasing power increases, there is a noticeable shift towards sustainable food choices. Prominent food producers are increasingly seeking sustainability and non-GMO certifications to broaden their consumer base.
COVID-19 Impact:
The COVID-19 pandemic had a notable impact on the non-GMO food industry, posing challenges to many countries. Initially, panic buying and supply chain disruptions led to shortages in various food products, including non-GMO options. This prompted some consumers, who had previously prioritized non-GMO products, to purchase whatever was available, regardless of GMO content. Financial hardships also led consumers to prioritize affordability over the non-GMO label. Consequently, there was a decline in sales of non-GMO products in certain regions. The pandemic induced changes in consumer behavior, including a shift towards online shopping and home cooking, further affecting the non-GMO food industry.
