Food inclusions have enabled food & beverage manufacturers to improve organoleptic properties, especially in terms of flavor, taste, texture, and appearance. As a result, mass-marketed products and products such as oats and cereal specifically targeted at health-conscious consumers are gaining significant demand from consumers, owing to their inclusion content. The use of inclusion has also aided product manufacturers in adopting and continuing with their marketing strategies and positioning their products as "healthy" without violating the prevailing norms of food labeling.

 

Opportunities: Product premiumization, functional food products, and resultant new product development to present growth opportunities

 

Premiumization of products is gaining global significance, with consumers increasingly willing to spend extra on premium products. The word "premium" is associated with the aspect of "quality" and "indulgence" along with other factors, such as "safety." Owing to this, consumers prefer to pay that little extra in mark-up price. As the trend of premiumization is on the rise, it presents an opportunity for growth in the range of premium products for food inclusion manufacturers. The category of functional food segments within premium products currently offers significant opportunities for growth in the consumption of food inclusions.

 

By application, the cereals products, snacks & bars segment is projected to dominate the food inclusions market in the forecasted period.

 

Food inclusions, with their ability to enhance organoleptic properties and nutritional profile, are ideal ingredients for addition in cereal products, snacks & bars, as they enhance product appeal. Consequently, inclusions are significantly consumed for use in products in this category, as their content has become the Unique Selling Proposition (USP) and core factor of product marketing.
