The high cost of clean label ingredients is a major restraint on the market. Clean label ingredients can be more expensive than artificial ingredients, which can make it difficult for manufacturers to keep prices competitive.
Limited availability of clean label ingredients is another challenge facing the market. Some natural and organic ingredients may be difficult to source in large quantities, which can hinder the production of clean label products and limit market growth.
The Asia Pacific region, particularly China, Japan, and South Korea, is projected to be a major market for clean label ingredients due to changing consumer preferences towards clean and natural food products. China, with its growing middle-class population and increasing disposable income, is expected to drive the demand for clean label ingredients in the region. Japan and South Korea are also witnessing a shift towards clean label products, with consumers becoming more health-conscious.
