摘要

The Asia Pacific food and beverage industry is rife with innovation, with more than 30% of the world's new products launched in the region in the past 12 months. Carmel Power, business manager at DSM Nutritional Products, looks at how the latest consumer trends affect the food industry as a whole.The new year has given many players in the global food industry a much-needed fresh start.
