簡介目錄

本報告分析了消費者購買有機和清潔標籤食品和飲料的行為和偏好,並重點了解消費者的態度和購買模式。此外,本報告還強調了有機和清潔標籤空間在更廣泛的食品和飲料行業內擴展的潛力,以及可能阻礙其進步的障礙。本報告考慮了消費者人口統計概況、消費者信念、消費者驅動因素和消費者飲食選擇。也考慮更廣泛的經濟因素,例如通貨膨脹和 COVID-19 大流行,以評估它們對消費者行為的影響,特別是與有機和清潔標籤產品相關的影響。

"清潔標籤" 的概念涵蓋了消費者關心的幾個重要事項,例如食品成分、生產方法和生產者本身。清潔標籤標準包括使用簡單易得的原料、類似家庭烹飪的最少加工,不使用添加劑或人工成分、不使用殺蟲劑、激素、抗生素或基因改造作物等多種因素,包括可持續和環保的做法。

每個人對 "清潔標籤" 的理解可能有很大差異。雖然有些產品可能被認為比其他產品更純淨,但消費者普遍認為清潔標籤聲明的真實性不能被單純的包裝聲明所掩蓋。許多消費者認為,衡量產品純度的真正標準在於所提供的成分和營養訊息,使消費者能夠充分了解他們選擇的產品的清潔度。

The Packaged Facts report analyzes the behaviors and preferences of consumers purchasing organic and clean label food and beverage items. It focuses on understanding the consumer mindset and their purchasing patterns. The study sheds light on the potential for expansion and the hurdles that could impede the progress of the organic and clean label segment within the broader food and beverage industry. It takes into account the demographic profiles of consumers, their beliefs, what motivates them, and their dietary choices. The report also considers the broader economic factors such as inflation and the COVID-19 pandemic, evaluating their impact on consumer behavior, particularly in relation to organic and clean label products.

The concept of "clean label" encompasses several key consumer concerns, including the contents of food, its production methods, and the producers themselves. Clean label criteria involve a range of factors: the use of simple, familiar ingredients; minimal processing akin to home cooking without the use of additives or artificial components; the avoidance of pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetically modified organisms; practices that are sustainable and environmentally friendly; traceability of the product and transparency of the company; ethical and socially responsible business conduct; thoughtful sourcing, often from local providers; and honest marketing practices.

The perception of what constitutes a "clean label" can differ widely among individuals. While some products may be seen as purer than others, there is a general consensus among consumers that the authenticity of clean label claims cannot be obscured by mere packaging statements. Many believe that the true measure of a product's purity lies in the ingredient and nutritional information provided, enabling them to make informed decisions about the cleanliness of the products they choose.
