Snacks Giant's New Legend09:10No one would deny that PepsiCo owns a kingdom of snacks. No brand has played a better game when it comes to the horizon of flavors. PepsiCo is not short of surprises from its pockets from the cucumber flavor limited to Greater China, luosifen (river snail rice noodle), smell of which makes people back step, to regional l imited offerings. Meanwhile, quality consistency of PepsiCo is doubted by none. How is that all achieved? What are the grand strategies behind small snacks? Here goes the snacks giant’s legend about innovation.
Game Changer | Brand Awareness in Snacks09:55Snacks, small portions of food, can be the jack of all trades to consumers – satisfying cravings, replacing meals, giving as gifts. Thanks to its versatility, consumers have pushed snacks to a trillion-scale business, which bears best testimony to the happiness brought to consumers by snacking. However, the snacks business is not that fun to do with tens of thousands of products on shelves, needless to say the hidden ones. What on earth can make a product stand out?Mauro De Felip, General Manager, Ferrero China
First Principles Thinking: “Meet Users’ Needs”11:10BOOHEE is a special one. From a tool, a platform to a range of products, the company has taken an alternative path for product development.

From Medicine to Consumer Health | Change is Happening11:40In June 2021, GSK announced the spin-off of its consumer healthcare business. It's the biggest restructuring in 20 years. In February 2022, GSK announced the creation of Haleon, a consumer healthcare company, which plans to list on the London Stock Exchange this year. From medicine to consumer health products, change is happening.
“Big” Health, “Big” Growth14:40It has been harder and harder to please consumers since snacks came into omni-channel competition. But one thing is crystal clear -- consumers are paying more attention to the nutritional, functional and health attributes of snacks under the mega health trend. With boundary of snacks expanding and target consumer groups growing, what would be the game changer for brands? Health, health, still health.Nash Tian, Market Unit Director of Adult Nutrition, FrieslandCampina Ingredients
[Panel Discussion] Gen 90s Parents & Gen 10s Kids Make Kids Snacks So Hard
15:40
There is a long-years battle of courage and wits over snacks between parents and kids. Parents disapprove kids throwing trash food into their mouths, while kids like whatever tastes good. Snacks for kids have their own special attribute -- paid by parents and used by kids, so it is important to make both sides happy. The Gen 90s parents and children born after 2010 are two groups having distinctive and harsh criteria of their own.What snacks for kids can do amid the clash of two sets of criteria and what does the future hold for it?[Moderator] Emma Wang, Managing Director, FountainVest Partners[Panelists] Kwok-wei Cheng, General Manager, YOUxian Workshop Edgar Gong, Product Portfolio Director, Cargill China Grain & Oilseeds

With declining newborns, China is perhaps coming into a moderately aged society sooner than expected. Why not shift our sight to the opportunities contained in the "silver hair" market instead of fighting a hard battle in the unproductively competitive young consumer market.
