SHANGHAI, April 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Health and wellness is one of the key trends in food and beverage NPD globally, as consumers' demands for healthy foods increase. Health and wellness takes many forms and varies from region to region.
Naturally healthy food and drink is the largest segment of the market in North America and Western Europe and is forecasting stronger growth than both fortified/functional foods and the better-for-you category. In Asia Pacific, however, fortified/functional foods represent the largest category and are projected to grow faster than the other two, with a 2013-2018 CAGR of 8%. The better-for-you market, usually aimed at weight loss, is still a minor area, although growing levels of obesity in some countries may lead to future growth.
Overall, Asia Pacific has a more dynamic health and wellness market than the west. Including organic and food intolerance products, as well as those shown in the chart, Asia Pacific is forecast to increase at a CAGR of 7% from 2013-2018, compared with just 1% in North America and Western Europe.
