Abstract
As the global population ages, fast foods become more prevalent and distrust of traditional pharmaceuticals grows, the pressure on the food and drinks industry to provide cost effective solutions for health problems is growing year on year.
Key Trends in Nutraceutical Food and Drinks: Novel ingredients, new applications and future revenue opportunities is a new management report published by Business Insights that provides an in-depth analysis of the regional and global trends in the healthy ingredients sector and the current state of the science behind their efficacy. Utilizing an analysis of over 10,000 products, this report provides practical examples of current ingredient applications and where the future ingredient opportunities may lie and how to exploit them. This report enables you to direct your marketing and NPD strategies to a particular health trend and avoid those ingredients with little or no scientific credibility.
Evaluate and exploit new opportunities from the use of novel nutraceutical ingredients within food and drinks products using the analysis provided in this new report.
Some key findings from this report...
- Confectionery product launches that claim cosmeceutical benefits are likely to grow radically in 2007. Manufacturers will be marketing their chocolate products as a convenient oral delivery format for antioxidants .
- Legislative restrictions are holding back NPD for cardiovascular food and drinks across Europe (particularly the blood pressure market). Despite this, some countries have been granted health/label claims for phytosterols and soy proteins. However, European legislation will become tighter following new cooperation between the EFSA and national food safety authorities.
- The shift from ' soft' to ' hard' claims of health benefits for probiotics in food and drinks is vital if this segment of the gut health market is to keep growing, particularly in the US. Although the health benefits of such food and drinks have been acknowledged in many societies for centuries.
- Dairy and bakery and cereals are the leading categories in the weight control trend with NPD growth of 107% and 108%, respectively between 2002 and 2006.
This new report will enable you to...
- Predict the effects of major health trends on global innovation and NPD in terms of the share of NPD and growth of NPD in each category and region based upon this report' s analysis of Productscan data from over 10,000 product launches and detailed epidemiological data.
- Understand key changes in food and drinks legislation. Identify which regions are updating their regulatory processes and how key companies are ensuring legislative compliance with this report' s analysis of legislative changes by health trend.
- Benchmark leading executives opinions on the functional food and drinks market and key ingredients using this report' s analysis of our proprietary survey detailing the functional industry' s drivers, trends and leading ingredients.
- Create more successful strategies to exploit future health trends using this report' s case study analysis of highly innovative trend leading brands and examples of ingredient launches into the marketplace and key success factors.
Key issues examined in this report...
- European legislative changes. Further harmonization between the European Foods Standards Agency (EFSA) and local bodies will mean that the submission of dossiers for consideration by EFSA will become an important part of product launches in the EU.
- Pharmaceutical safety. The damaging media coverage associated with the anti-inflammatory drug Vioxx is lending credibility to natural ingredient solutions. Vioxx was considered as safe as aspirin and it' s withdrawal will inevitably drive more consumers to functional food and drinks alternatives.
- Demographic changes. As the population ages oral skin care products from mass market companies like Olay are likely to aid the growth of "beauty from the inside" ingredients, foods and drinks.
- Labeling laws impact on product sales. The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act in the US and the FSA imposed "traffic light system" in the UK and Europe are both aimed at helping consumers make informed healthier food choices and will impact on some categories in 2007.
