This functional beverages research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global functional beverages market size will grow from $131.47 billion in 2022 to $147.7 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global functional beverages market size is expected to grow from $224.99 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 11.1%. Increasing awareness of health issues is anticipated to propel the demand for functional beverages over the forecast period. Functional beverages help to enhance various body functionalities, including the management of heart rate, digestive health, immune system, and weight management, due to the presence of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and amino acids. Consumers are increasingly shifting towards the consumption of functional beverages that contain ingredients to address these specific health issues. According to Packaging Strategies journal, a major change in the beverage industry is moving toward functional beverages as consumers strive to improve their health. Additionally, the rise of clean-label, organic, and non-GMO products is impacting the buying behaviours of consumers. Therefore, consumer preferences for functional drinks over carbonated drinks and fruit juices are projected to drive the demand for functional beverages over the next few years. The wide availability of cheaper substitutes such as green tea, coffee, and fresh juice is hindering the growth of the functional beverage market. The prices of functional drinks are comparatively higher than those of carbonated drinks and other available substitutes. Thus, the availability of substitute products is negatively impacting the growth of the market. For instance, dry beverage mixes, which offer functionality, are cost-effective and have low transportation costs. The ingredients in dry beverage mixes provide high nutrients, replacing the need for functional beverages with low costs. The availability of cheaper substitutes thereby restrains the growth of the market. The manufacturing of low-calorie natural sweeteners and the use of natural colors and ingredients are promoting the growth of functional beverages. Major players dealing in the industry are adopting various strategies in order to meet consumer requirements. For instance, in April 2021, Manus Bio, Inc., a US-based company operating in natural ingredients, announced the launch of NutraSweet Natural, a plant-based sweetener with zero calories. NutraSweet Natural is produced by isolating the sweetest and purest parts of the stevia leaf, which are incorporated into a proprietary blend to create the exact taste of sugar without the calories while minimizing its environmental footprint.

The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global lactose free food market size is expected to grow from $22.69 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 12.7%. An increasing number of people with lactose intolerance are expected to contribute to the higher demand for lactose-free food products. Lactose intolerance is a digestive syndrome caused by the inability to digest lactose, a carbohydrate found in dairy products. According to the National Library of Medicine, approximately 65% to 90% of adults are affected by lactose intolerance. Moreover, in Europe, 5% to 15% of the population is lactose intolerant. Therefore, an increasing number of people with lactose intolerance is anticipated to drive the demand for lactose-free food over the forecast period. The stiff competition from dairy alternatives is expected to limit the growth of the lactose-free food market. The availability of various dairy alternatives such as cheese, butter, ice-creams, milk made from soy, rice, almond, and other non-dairy ingredients is likely to take over the share of lactose-free food products. For instance, in 2020, global milk production reached nearly 906 million tonnes, up 2.1% from 2019. In addition to this, in 2020, international dairy trade increased by 1.2% to nearly 79 million tonnes (milk equivalent), principally due to increased imports by a few countries, namely China, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil. Therefore, competition from dairy products is expected to hinder the growth of the lactose-free food market during the period. The launch of new lactose-free products is a leading trend contributing to the market's expansion. In June 2022, Provilac, an India-based premium milk home delivery company, announced the launch of free-cow milk for those with a sensitive digestive system.

The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global dairy alternatives market size is expected to grow from $45.16 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 13.1%. Increasing cases of lactose intolerance and milk allergies are projected to contribute to the dairy alternatives market's growth. Lactose intolerance or congenital lactase deficiency is a situation wherein the small intestine is incapable of making the enzyme lactase to break down or digest lactose, moving undigested lactose to the large intestine, causing symptoms such as diarrhoea, gas, and bloating. According to the Cleveland Clinic, more than 30 million people in America are lactose intolerant. This scenario is likely to generate higher demand for dairy alternatives, which in turn, is anticipated to boost the market's revenue over the forecast period. A lack of awareness among consumers about the nutritional benefits of dairy alternative products is expected to hinder the growth of the market. Many dairy consumers feel that dairy substitutes are lower in nutritional content than cow’s milk and other dairy products. According to a Cargill study, about 90% of households in America consume dairy products as a part of their daily diets, whereas only 4% of the population consumes only non-dairy products. Therefore, the lack of awareness among the populace about the nutritional benefits of dairy alternatives is expected to hinder the growth of the market over the next few years. New product innovation is the trend in the dairy alternative market. In June 2022, Nestlé S.A, a Swtizerland-based multinational food, and drink processing conglomerate corporation, announced the launch of Little Steps Plantygrow, a plant-based growing-up drink for toddlers from one to three years of age.

The diabetic foods research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides diabetic foods statistics, including diabetic foods industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with diabetic foods share, detailed diabetic foods segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the diabetic foods industry. This diabetic foods research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future state of the industry. The global diabetic foods market size will grow from $11.57 billion in 2022 to $13.26 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term.

About 90% of young people with diabetes suffer from Type 1. For people with type 1 diabetes, the Mediterranean diet plan is recommended because it is full of nutrient-dense foods, including plenty of fresh vegetables, some oranges, plant fats such as olive oil and nuts, fish such as sardines, and occasional meat and milk. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2020, more than 34 million Americans have diabetes, which is nearly 11% of the U.S. population and 1.6 million Americans have Type 1 diabetes, which includes 187,000 children and adolescents. Therefore, the increasing number of cases of juvenile diabetes among children and youth is expected to drive the growth of the diabetic food market. Food labelling is a key factor hindering the growth of the diabetic food market. There has been a concern for some time that labelling food as "diabetic" could confuse people with diabetes into believing that food is important or at least especially necessary. Improvement in food policy ensures that companies will not be able to label food as "diabetic" or "made for diabetics". Diabetes UK reacted furiously and has been fighting for the removal of the labels for over 30 years, which wrongly suggest a health advantage for people with diabetes and are seen as important to conventional alternatives. Therefore, labelling food is expected to restrict the growth of the diabetic food market. Product innovation is the key trend in the diabetic food market. The introduction of various items such as low-calorie sweet beverages, sugar-free jellies, diabetic bakery items, low-fat ice cream, and other dairy goods is attracting more customers towards diabetic foods. For instance, companies like Coke, Pepsi, Thumps Up and Sprite introduced new beverages such as protein shakes, good-for-good beverages, and functional waters that are gradually making their presence felt in retail stores and contributing to faster growth in the overall beverage category. With an annual growth rate of 7%, the carbonated soft drinks (CSD) industry in India is pegged at Rs 25,000.

Bread is a staple food, usually prepared by baking it from a dough of flour (usually wheat) and water. The distribution channels for gluten-free food are conventional retailers and natural sales channels. The various meal types are breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The gluten free food research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides gluten free food statistics, including gluten free food industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with gluten free food shares, detailed gluten free food segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the gluten free food industry. This gluten-free food research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global gluten free food market size will grow from $6.26 billion in 2022 to $7.01 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global gluten free food market size is expected to grow from $10.52 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 10.7%. The increasing incidence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and celiac disease is expected to contribute to a higher demand for gluten-free food products. Celiac disease is a severe genetic autoimmune disease that damages the villi of the small intestine and affects the absorption of nutrients from food. According to National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA), an estimation of 3.0 million (1 in 133) Americans has celiac disease, however 83.0% of the 3 million Americans are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. A person suffering from IBS is sensitive to gluten, and consumption of gluten-containing foods aggravates the disease system. Therefore, the rising incidence of IBS and celiac diseases is projected to boost the demand for gluten-free food over the coming years. The high cost associated with the gluten free products in comparison with the gluten containing products is anticipated to limit the growth of the market over the coming years. The replacement of gluten-containing wheat with gluten-free wheat along with the requirement of additional ingredients such as inulin, guar gum, chicory, and oligo fructose increases the production cost for the manufacturers. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), on average, gluten-free items were 242% more expensive than regular products. This is likely to increase the price for consumers. which in turn is anticipated to restrain the growth of the gluten-free products market over the forecast period. The need for gluten-free products is driving innovation across the food industry, especially in the bakery sector. For instance, Veripan, a specialist in food products, announced the launch of a "breakthrough" all-purpose flour mix for gluten-free baking. This is a completely natural solution discovered to create gluten-free bakery products while avoiding crumbly textures, dryness, and off-flavors. This scenario is to provide ample growth opportunities for manufacturers' expansion in the global market.
