- Influential food and beverage industry trends: The demand for clean label products is increasing rapidly, owing to a significant rise in awareness of healthy eating. Clean label products do not contain additives, artificial flavor enhancers, dyes, or artificial preservatives. Also, many food service and retail grocery store chains are stating lists of ingredients that cannot be present in food items in their stores or restaurants. Many manufacturers and producers are also increasingly using natural ingredients and have reduced the use of artificial colors and flavors. Another key trend is the increased demand for functional beverages, with many individuals seeking specialized drinks to stay hydrated and maintain nutritional balance. To capitalize on this segment, companies are introducing fortified beverages such as functional juices, and functional water with health benefits, such as water balance, weight management, and improved digestion.
