| With ongoing product investment and
market activity and considerable
media hype, the functional foods
market would appear to be
developing apace in most parts of the
developed world, but in fact there is
considerable evidence in the form of
product withdrawals, repositioning,
relaunches, and disappointing sales
levels that many products are not
meeting expectations and that all is
not entirely well with the sector.
This report updates Leatherhead’s
previous study, carried out in 2000,
which looked at the status and
prospects of the functional foods
market at that time. Now, four
years later, the sector has been
revisited to establish how market
prospects and direction have
changed over that period, the extent
to which expectations have been
fulfilled, and where the sector now
appears to be headed.
