“Clean” is now part of consumer vocabulary…

  • The concept of clean has been used by the food industry for many years but “Clean” has more recently emerged as part of consumers vocabulary as a new way to say “healthy”.

  • Consumers are today looking for more and more Clean products, and in many markets the major Retailers are not following the trends as fast as consumers changing habits.

  • Today many consumers spend time searching on the internet for these types of products and when they find them it is often from a very specialized web-shop at very high cost for the products.

  • The Covid-19 virus has again underlined the danger of an unhealthy lifestyle with obesity, diabetes and other lifestyle diseases, which is mainly caused by over processed foods with many unhealthy and artificial ingredients.

  • The leading UAE retailers (Carrefour, Spinneys, Lulu) have over the past 2 years allocated more and more shelves-meters for Clean products and it is evident, that this trend is only at its very early stage.
