Figure 2 ‐ Specific Perspectives of Organizational Registrants 

B. 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.
