The increasing concern about food safety, hygiene, and reliability represents one of the major factors driving the demand for ethical labels around the world. Moreover, shifting consumer preferences for ready-to-eat (RTE) food products on account of rapid urbanization, rising working population, hectic schedules, and the expanding purchasing power of consumers are catalyzing the demand for ethical labels worldwide. In addition, the growing consumption of halal food is influencing the market positively. Apart from this, there is an increase in the integration of blockchain, radio frequency identification (RFID) chips, a global positioning system (GPS), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) in ethical labels to improve transparency and traceability in supply chains. These advanced technologies enable the creation of a decentralized, tamper proof record of transactions and are used for tracking the movement of goods from the point of origin to the point of sale. Ethical labels advancements provide information about the location and conditions under which products are produced and analyze data and identify patterns and trends to address ethical and sustainability concerns in their supply chains. This, coupled with the incorporation of sensors in ethical labels to gather data about environmental conditions wherein products are manufactured, such as temperature, humidity, and air quality, and verify the sustainability claims made by companies is strengthening the growth of the market. Furthermore, governments of numerous countries are encouraging the uptake of sustainable farming practices, which is anticipated to create a positive outlook for the market.
