Targeted Nutrition. Functional Ingredients. Personalization.Healthifying food and beverage through functional ingredients
Today’s consumer wants “good for you” food to do much more than mere weight management. In response, food & beverage companies are looking to provide targeted nutrition offerings, blurring the line between consumer healthcare and food.
This move has led to an explosion of specialized nutrition products, driven by global innovations in biotics, natural extracts, fermented foods, and other functional ingredients. An increasing emphasis on science-based claims, biomarker tracking, and digitalization has also led to novel formats from disruptive players that integrate optimally with specialized demand moments.
FutureBridge delivers insights to its clients across that entire spectrum of techno-commercial changes.
