decline from $128.66 billion in 2019 to $125.39 billion in
2020 at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of -

flavourings.

The Fragmentation Of Sweetness
Naturally Functional /
Functional Plus• “Food as medicine”, “proactive health”, and
“superfoods” all come to mind when thinking about
naturally functional ingredients that support both
physical and mental health.
• Health and wellness remain at the forefront of the
beverage industry as many consumers turn to
healthier options in the wake of COVID-19.
• The market is also seeing many brands incorporating
essential ingredients into their beverages such as
amino acids, minerals, vitamins, herbs, nootropics,
and other vital ingredients which can revitalize
drinkers.
KEY MARKET TRENDS
Sources: Food Bev Media, 2020; New Nutrition Business, 2020
Weight Wellness• We all know that drinks can be as calorie dense as
what we eat – opt for low-calorie beverages or avoid
sugary drinks if you’re trying to lose weight.
• Another great way to manage one’s weight is to eat
food that heightens satiety (Krawiec, 2020).
• Fibre is a good example of an ingredient that not only
supports satiety for weight management but it can also
have positive effects on blood glucose (Krawiec,
2020).
• Chia seeds have higher dietary fibre content than
dried fruits, cereals or nuts. They are great for
inducing satiety (Kulczyński et al., 2019).
KEY MARKET TRENDS
Sources: New Nutrition Business, 2020
Immunity Gets A Boost• Consumers have become more conscious about
improving their immunity due to this pandemic.
• It has been established that vitamins A, D, C, E, B6,
and B12, folate, zinc, iron, copper, and selenium play
vital, often synergistic roles at every stage of the
immune response (Gombart et al., 2020).
• Ingredients that support immune health naturally, like
elderberry, citrus fruits, turmeric and probiotics are
also on the rise (Harfmann, 2018).
• In fact, matcha has exploded in popularity because it
is high in antioxidants which can increase the
production of T-cells which reduces inflammation and
fights pathogens (Harfmann, 2018).
Sources: The Business Research Company., 2020; New Nutrition Business, 2020
KEY MARKET TRENDS
Digestive Wellness
Diversifies• 70% of our immune health is housed in our gut –
There is a complex interaction among probiotics,
prebiotics and the gut immunity (Ashaolu, 2020;
Harfmann, 2018).
• Probiotics and prebiotics proffer enormous immune
boosting effects (Harfmann, 2018).
• Commonly used prebiotics are inulin, FOS, GOS,
beta-glucan and psyllium husk (Singla &
Chakkaravarthi, 2017).
• Kombucha is a probiotic drink that helps in balancing
the intestinal flora, thus facilitating the normalisation of
intestinal activities (Watawana et al., 2015).
KEY MARKET TRENDS
Sources: New Nutrition Business, 2020
Alternative Protein• Consumer preferences have shown a shift towards a
more sustainable lifestyle and lower dependency on
animal proteins (Markets and Markets, 2020).
• A good amino acid profile can be achieved with plant
proteins which can also be combined to form a
nutritious option, e.g. pea and rice (Wu, 2016).
• Rice protein is increasingly considered as an
alternative and an economic source of high quality
plant-based protein. It is natural, gluten-free, non-
GMO, hypoallergenic, and has an excellent amino acid
profile and protein digestibility (Beneo, 2016).
• Soy protein is still widely accepted in Asia countries,
while in Europe and North America, consumers are
moving away from soy protein (Lim, 2019).
KEY MARKET TRENDS
Sources: New Nutrition Business, 2020
The Fragmentation Of
Sweetness• With the rising prevalence of serious health issues
such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, sugar reduction
and blood sugar control are top of mind for many
(Olivo, 2020).
• While today’s consumers pressure developers to
reduce or eliminate sugar in their products, they are
unwilling to sacrifice sweetness, mouthfeel and
delicious taste, and sugar is often largely responsible
for delivering those benefits (Jacobsen, 2020).
• Therefore, the food industry has stepped up to meet
the mounting demand for low-sugar and reduced-
sugar foods and beverages by featuring natural
sweeteners such as stevia and monk fruit extract
(Olivo, 2020).
