FunctionalDrinks - Reassessing future potential, determining consumer targets, anddelivering credible products identifies the best opportunities and strategies within the industry.
What are functional drinks? Functional
drinks are beverages that have a beneficial effect on the body beyond basic
nutrition and hydration. Health claims can be both general and specific, for
instance a drink may claim a general benefit – such as boosting happiness – or
something more measurable – such as improving digestive function. They can be
measured based on how they meet various consumer need states, with a spectrum
that ranges from products that are less ‘bad’ for consumers than other
offerings to those which offer specific and measurable medical benefits.
In Europe,
the number of approved health claims in food is extremely low, making Europe a
hard market for manufacturers, but also an important one, as it provides a gold
standard test for health claims. Japan is at the other end of the scale with
five times as many approvals than the whole of Europe – making Japan an
excellent test market that stands out amongst developed countries for
innovative, new products.
