Functional foods are one of the fastest growing categories of food products in the United States. The U.S. alone represents one-third of the global nutrition market, and functional food sales are projected to exceed $30 billion by the end of the decade. Marketers of foods and beverages are constantly finding new ways to enhance their products with the addition of functional products, to which they’re finding an increasingly accepting and willing audience. The U.S. Market for Functional Foods and Beverages, volume 3 in the series, The U.S, Market for Wellness Foods and Beverages, examines the factors driving this dramatic growth, including new product introductions and innovations, the regulatory environment that is fostering wider use and awareness of functional foods, and the growing sense among consumers that “wellness” can be achieved by taking a closer look at and improving one’s diet. Indeed, the report offers a full profile of the functional food consumer, including looking at the market for functional foods according to age groups and ethnic and racial groups. The study also examines the marketers that are leading the functional food parade, both large and small, as well as offers a look at the up-and-coming companies that are poised to make a difference in the market in the years to come.
