Earlier this month at Natural Products Expo West, New Hope Natural Media's editors and trend researchers along with partner, Sterling-Rice Group, identified the products and brands they predict will shape the future of the natural products industry. These nominees represent the most innovative edge of the natural products industry.

"The NEXTY awards celebrate the products shaping a healthy future for natural products," said Carlotta Mast, Senior Director of Content & Insights, New Hope Natural Media. "Each year the field of products and brands exhibited at Expo West grows stronger, raising the bar for the industry, and this year was no exception.  We look forward to learning which brands our natural products community members think deserve a NEXTY award."

The Editors' Choice and Popular Vote winners in the food and beverage, supplements and ingredients, and beauty and natural living categories will be profiled in the 2015 NEXT Forecast report, which will be published in June.  The NEXT Forecast, a joint venture between New Hope and Sterling-Rice Group, is the premier insider's guide to where the natural products market is now—and where it's headed.  In addition, NEXTY winners will be honored at an awards ceremony at Natural Products Expo East, September 18-20, 2014 in Baltimore, MD.

The NEXTY Awards and NEXT Forecast are part of New Hope Natural Media's NEXT suite of products, which were created to support and accelerate innovation within the natural products industry.
