Health and Wellness Trends Aiding Growth of Food Additives and Ingredients Market Spurred on by wellness trends and the growing consumer preference for low-fat foods and natural additives, the U.S. and European food additives and ingredients market have seen exciting growth in recent times. Intensified media coverage is also playing a part in growth of segments such as Omega 3 and Omega 6, which, contrary to popular belief, are essential for optimal growth and general health. Poly unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) Omega 3 and Omega 6, which are natural proteins present in the market, have a distinct advantage over other ingredients competing in the functional food sector which are synthetic. Thanks to their palatability, convenience, and affordability, probiotic products are growing in popularity. Probiotics are successfully incorporated into foods such as chocolate, wafer cookies, cereals, fruit juices, and cultured soy products without any disagreeable taste. "Upcoming technologies can modify texture by producing more polysaccharides during fermentation, creating a creamier yogurt without the use of added stabilizers - a positive impact on probiotics market," notes the analyst of this research service. "It may also be noted that in certain food applications, the probiotic bacterium could also be encapsulated to mask any possible off-tastes." Increasing Incidence of Diabetes and Obesity Driving Demand for Intense Sweeteners Diabetes and obesity are fast becoming major health issues in the United States and Europe and their increasing prevalence is proving a key driver for the growth of the intense sweeteners market. In addition to being the fourth leading cause of death in Europe, diabetes also acts as a risk factor for other diseases, notably cardiovascular. It is estimated that in 2006, diabetes affected more than 230 million people globally and this is anticipated to increase to 350 million in 2025. (Source: International Diabetes Federation). Given this, food and beverage manufacturers are increasingly including the sugar-free products sweetened with sugar substitutes in their portfolio, thus improving demand for the intense sweeteners. Acesulfame-K sweetener and sucralose sweeteners are the fastest growing segments in the intense sweeteners market. Overall, the U.S. and European food additives and ingredients market is stable and mature and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3 percent between 2006 and 2011. "Among the market segments, the U.S. and European functional bio ingredients market was worth $1,244.4 million in 2006 and is expected to grow at 9.9 percent until 2011," says the analyst. "While probiotics based on dairy yogurt and yogurt drink is likely to grow by 12.8 percent, beverage probiotics are expected to grow by approximately 25.9 percent." |
