Innovation in Natural and Organic Food and Drinks: Winning NPD strategies and future trends in healthy and ethical products
Market Report, May 2006, 1528  €


Description

The terms natural and organic are not mutually exclusive: many products are marketed as ‘natural’ without organic certification; likewise, a number of organic products do not incorporate the term ‘natural’ in marketing, or in the brand or product name.
However, this report pairs the analysis of the natural and organic market due to their close relationship.
The report assesses the growth of the natural and/or organic market since 2001 in the global food and drink industry, and offers insight into its future potential.
Many consumers view terms such as natural and organic as indicative of a high quality, healthy product.
In line with growing health and nutrition awareness, this sector is expected to go from strength to strength.
Its success will be fuelled by manufacturer-led, educational campaigns to inform consumers of a product’s unique selling point (USP) in terms of taste, health and/or wellbeing.
New product development will be essential to growth in this market, and will originate from smaller start-up companies through to multinational billion dollar organizations.
The data used in this report to substantiate analysis and future forecasts is from Productscan Online, which is the world’s longest-established and largest database of new product launches in the fast moving consumer goods industry.
It contains detailed reports on all key new products launched, including full product details plus an ‘innovation rating’ that determines whether, and how, a product breaks new ground.
The Productscan Online database is updated using a variety of different sources, including store checks, trade fairs, notification from manufacturers, and press releases.
