Looking to the Future: Trends in the Global Food industry

摘要

The food and beverage industry is ripe with innovation and in the past year, some of the most interesting developments have included ethnic foods aimed at the mainstream, the use of spice in new applications and the emergence of the concept of 'stealth health'. The future looks bright, but food and beverage manufacturers must continue to evolve their product portfolio if they are to capitalize on potential and stay ahead of the competition. The innovation pipeline is often busy thanks to recent advances in R&D, but it is consumer demand that is vital to the success of any product and shopper purchasing habits are often the real driver of new product development.
