Food Contract Manufacturing Market Size, Share, & Trends Analysis Report By Service (Manufacturing, Packaging, Custom Formulation And R&D), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030


Food Contract Manufacturing Market Growth & Trends


The global food contract manufacturing market size is expected to reach USD 274.7 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 9.7% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising demand for manufacturing capabilities from OEMs coupled with increasing requirement of convenience foods and dietary supplements are the factors expected to drive the industry growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in panic buying of comfort foods and restructuring of supply chains, which has positively impacted the contract manufacturing market. However, contract manufacturers had to deal with additional worker security, wherein more focus was given to current Good Manufacturing Practices, which resulted in hindering the industry growth.

Food businesses were unable to fulfill the increased food demand during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, thereby increasing the dependence on contract manufacturing. Companies providing these services are focusing on increasing private equity investments and securing long-term contracts, thereby obtaining a competitive edge in the industry.

Food firms have gotten more adept at leveraging contract manufacturers in order to avoid the extra expenses, associated with the production. It also enables food processing companies to free up cash flows, which were critical during the pandemic, creating a favorable climate for the contract manufacturers to flourish.

Food companies were unable to react to the demand surge when the restrictions were lifted in 2020 caused due to the supply chain failure. The food manufacturing supply chain is expected to be transformed with the help of food contract manufacturing as food companies prefer to manufacture food products locally.

Food contract manufacturers are beginning to take active participation in the custom formulation of the food products. Market players are focusing on healthy and plant-based food alternatives in line with the increasing demand for healthy food. Moreover, the flexibility and the ability to pivot to new projects are expected to augment the industry growth.
