Nutritional Analysis Global Market Report 2024

The nutritional analysis market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.56 billion in 2023 to $5.97 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. Historical growth can be attributed to the increase in diet-related diseases, consumer demand for transparency, advancements in scientific research and nutrition studies, as well as the effects of globalization leading to diverse dietary patterns.

The nutritional analysis market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.39 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period stems from e-commerce, food transparency, expanding functional foods, sustainability trends, allergen detection demand, and labeling regulations. Major upcoming trends include consumer-generated data, holistic health focus, quantified self movement, precision nutrition, and nutrigenomics advancements.

The anticipated growth of the nutritional analysis market is propelled by increasing consumer awareness and a shift in preferences towards consuming healthier food options. Nutritional analysis plays a crucial role in understanding the chemical composition, processing, quality control, and contamination of food, ensuring a wholesome and healthful food intake. A balanced and nutritious diet not only safeguards against various forms of malnutrition but also provides protection against non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and cancer. A notable illustration of this trend is evident in a January 2022 survey report published by Nutrisystem, a US-based provider of weight loss products. Among 2,000 participants surveyed, 53% expressed their goal for 2022 as weight loss, with an average target of shedding 14 pounds. This data underscores the heightened consumer focus on health and wellness, driving a demand for nutritional analysis to make informed dietary choices. The increasing awareness and evolving preferences towards healthier food options are key factors fueling the growth of the nutritional analysis market.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the nutritional analysis market in the foreseeable future. Chronic diseases, characterized by long-term medical conditions with a gradual and persistent progression, pose significant health challenges. Nutritional analysis plays a pivotal role in addressing chronic diseases by identifying dietary patterns and nutrient deficiencies. This enables targeted interventions to improve health outcomes and potentially reduce healthcare costs associated with managing chronic conditions. Illustrating this trend, research published by the American Cancer Society, a US-based health organization, in January 2022 highlighted the anticipation of 609,360 cancer deaths and 1.9 million new cancer cases in the US. With approximately 1,670 fatalities each day, the rising cases of chronic diseases, including cancer, underscore the importance of nutritional analysis in shaping dietary interventions for improved health outcomes. The nutritional analysis market is positioned to grow as a valuable tool in the comprehensive approach to managing and mitigating the impact of chronic diseases.
