This report profiles the leading players in the industry and provides a comparative analysis of their current performance and future growth strategies. The content also examines the various approaches to research and development.
Features and benefits
Highlights
The rising demand for processed food and drinks is boosting the development of innovative ingredients. These products require higher levels of additive-style ingredients than many unprocessed foods. For example, preservatives are added to increase the shelf-life and flavors and colours are added to enhance a product's taste and appearance.
Sustainability is a key issue for ingredients suppliers, particularly for those that produce plant-based ingredients. The pressure on supplies of some natural raw materials is now huge, as more food and drinks manufacturers insist on natural ingredients, and ingredients suppliers seek to increase their range of naturally derived ingredients.
While many ingredients manufacturers brand their ingredients to differentiate them, most do not use this as a consumer marketing tool. However, Südzucker's Beneo-Orafti subsidiary has developed a marketing program that promotes its ingredients, such as the 'The Beneo Label' direct to consumers.
