The confidence exhibited by key industry figures with regard to the fortunes of the functional food and drink market is in part facilitated by their insight with regard to key trends in consumer behavior, and the particular challenges that must be overcome to engage with the public and secure growth.
Consumers’ attitudes regarding healthy living are becoming increasingly holistic, with the widest range of factors being taking into account in the assessment of a person’s lifestyle. A consequence of this is that the health benefits derived from food and drinks are now understood by consumers to reach beyond the fundamental nutrition they provide, and play a role in a broader spectrum of influence on the health of one’s lifestyle.
Ensuring this trend remains central to the development and marketing of products will help manufacturers to attract more customers, increase market share, and cement their products in the foundations of what the public perceives as living a healthy lifestyle, thereby helping secure future success. However, it is vital that manufacturers do not overestimate the power of functional foods’ additional benefits to compel consumers to purchase and make products prohibitively expensive – in the current economic climate, the vast majority of consumers remain hesitant to stray far from the budget of standard products in pursuit of functional food and drinks.
It is this recessionary environment that is generating further difficulties for manufacturers, who according to Canadean’s survey believe a key challenge in the future success of functional food and drinks is to convince a perhaps excessively skeptical public to trust the health claims associated with their products. The onus to educate the public on the benefits of functional food falls to the manufacturers, and delivering this message in an engaging, compelling manner stands as one of the most vital challenges industry players face. This is particularly true in light of the fact that effective education of the public could help in building a convincing case that product benefits justify the cost of functional food and drinks, thereby easing the pressure placed by the economic climate on the market.
