The rising level of consumer awareness and shifting preferences toward healthy food consumption are expected to drive the expansion of the nutritional analysis market in the coming years. Nutritional analysis enables an understanding of the chemical composition, processing methods, quality control, and potential contamination of food, thereby supporting safe and healthy dietary intake. Maintaining a healthy diet helps protect against malnutrition in all its forms and reduces the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and cancer. For example, in June 2024, according to the International Food Information Council (IFIC), a US-based nonprofit organization, 54% of Americans reported following a specific diet or eating pattern over the past year. Most individuals aim to increase their protein consumption, with interest rising from 59% in 2022 to 67% in 2023 and reaching 71% in 2024. In addition, nearly half of consumers are seeking to consume more fresh foods, which are widely perceived as healthier options. As a result, increasing consumer awareness and changing dietary preferences are contributing to the growth of the nutritional analysis market.

Key companies operating in the nutritional analysis market are investing in the development of advanced technologies, such as nutrition analysis platforms, to serve a broader customer base, boost sales, and increase revenue. A nutrition analysis platform is an integrated software solution or online service designed to assess and evaluate the nutritional content of food and beverages. For instance, in April 2023, Trustwell, a US-based provider of software solutions for food manufacturers, introduced Genesis Foods. A distinguishing feature of this Software as a Service (SaaS) offering is its simplified and user-friendly interface, which enables fast and intuitive product formulation and data entry. The solution emphasizes regulatory compliance by incorporating built-in data checks and alerts. Additionally, the software automates complex labeling calculations, ensuring accurate representation of nutritional information, ingredients, and allergens on FDA Nutrition Facts labels. Trustwell’s platform not only streamlines food labeling but also allows food companies to quickly develop new product formulations and make real-time updates to existing recipes, improving efficiency and flexibility within the evolving food industry.
