Abstract

• The functional food and drinks market was worth $26.4bn in Europe and the US in 2005. It continues to grow at a CAGR of 4.4%, driven by consumers' increasing acceptance of functional foods and a desire to self-medicate.
• The food and drinks industry is adopting pharma technologies in order to create more sophisticated and personalized health products. These technologies include genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and nanotechnology.
• Labelling and health claim regulations are likely to change globally as a result of the evolution of functional food and drinks. These changes are likely to include issues such as harmonization of regulatory guidelines and more extensive clinical trials.
• A major growth area for Nestlé is heart health. In 2004, of all the functional products launched by the company, only 6.5% were heart health products, but this share increased to 29.7% in 2006.

• In what ways are the food and pharma industries converging?
• How are the food and pharma industries tackling the prevention of lifestyle related health problems including obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease?
• How are functional food and drinks evolving to have qualities associated with pharma products?
• How are food and drinks companies applying the use of pharma technologies?
• How will regulatory changes affect the future of functional foods and drinks globally?
• Which companies are the leading innovators in nutrigenomics and with whom are they partnering?

• Assess changing cross-market dynamics using this report’s analysis of convergence between companies including Chr. Hansen and BASF and the pharmaceutical industry and the innovative functional ingredients that this produces.
• Understand how nutrigenomics will revolutionize the functional food and drinks market through enabling a more personalized approach to the management of diet and health, mirroring pharmacogenomic and personalized medicine developments in the pharmaceutical industry.
