-Even though their share is largest (76,7%), the growth of organically produced ingredients is slowing, as ethical consumers are demanding more than just agrochemical-free farming.
-Omega-3 fatty acid sourcing carries the potential of overharvesting of fish. Krill and algae are alternative sources that are being explored.
-The increased need for palm oil worldwide is threatening rainforest areas. This has led to the formation of a special NGO engaged in the promotion for sustainable palm oil, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).
-The growing demographic of informed consumers tends to be ethically-minded and aware of the link between health and food. This will drive sustainability-related product claims in the future.
