Specific Perspectives (Figure 2)
Registrants are categorized into
specific perspectives. About one‐fifth
of the organizational registrants are
manufacturers of food, beverages, or
related ingredients. While there is a
significant percentage of both CROs
and regulatory agencies, more than
25% of registrants are included in the
general category of “technology
provider.” With more than three‐
quarters of the registrants
representing industry, industry is
categorized further in
Figure 3
.
Registrants in the industry sector show that more than one‐fourth of the industry participants are food
companies. The other two
perspectives represented in
the industry sector are
contract research
organizations (CROs) and
technology providers.
Consulting, Auditing, Coatings,
and trade round out the
industry sector.
The trade organization is
included here as it is an
affiliation of industry.
Because food is a large portion of the industry sector, food is
further categorized in Figure 4. Food organizational
registrants are categorized into food & beverage, food &
formula, and food & ingredients. Almost a third of food
companies each are food & beverage and food &
ingredients. The other 40% are food & formula companies.
