Consumer acceptance of and willingness to pay for food nanotechnology: a systematic review

Abstract: Consumer’s attitudes to, and acceptance of, emerging technologies and their applications, are important determinants of their successful implementation and commercialisation. Understanding the range of socio-psychological, cultural and affective factors which may influence consumer responses to applications of nanotechnology will help “fine-tune” the development of consumer products in line with their expectations and preferences. This is particularly true of applications in the food area, where consumer conce… Show more

“…Existing research on consumer responses to nanotechnology applications in a food context is dominated by studies from Europe, suggesting that public knowledge is quite limited, with initial attitudes either neutral or slightly positive (Cobb & Macoubrie, 2004;Currall, King, Lane, Madera, & Turner, 2006;Frewer et al, 2014;Giles, Kuznesof, Clark, Hubbard, & Frewer, 2015). Unsurprisingly, consumer acceptance is stronger in the presence of tangible consumer benefits and when the technology is applied to food packaging or processing methods, rather than when incorporated directly into foods (Bieberstein, Roosen, Marette, Blanchemanche, & Vandermoere, 2013;Siegrist, Stampfli, Kastenholz, & Keller, 2008;Stampfli, Siegrist, & Kastenholz, 2010).…”

“…This has been established in relation to acceptance of different novel food technologies [19,20] . The extent to which trust influences the acceptance of personalised nutrition based on genomics, however, is less well understood, and may be related to the referred end-user characteristics.…”

“…Recent studies suggest that the public perception is not negative towards an introduction of nanotechnology in agriculture, if the benefit to the consumer is clear (Parisi, Vigani, & Rodríguez-Cerezo, 2015). Consumer acceptance has shown to be higher for nanotechnology in the development of novel packaging with distinct benefits rather when integrated directly in food (Giles, Kuznesof, Clark, Hubbard, & Frewer, 2015) (Gupta, Fischer, & Frewer, 2015).…”
