The market for targeted health and wellness foods and beverages is a dynamic and promising one, driven largely by the growing recognition -- among scientists, government, practitioners, and consumers alike -- of the instrumental role diet plays in a wide range of health conditions.
Diseases that are linked to eating habits, including heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, some types of cancer, and diabetes, are among the leading causes of death in the United States. The risk of developing diet-related chronic diseases increases with age, so the graying of the U.S. population is a key factor in this market. Escalating healthcare costs that prompt consumers to seek alternative ways of managing their health also draw attention to these products and spur sales.
Packaged Facts consumer survey data show that 63% of U.S. grocery shoppers have purchased a food or beverage in the past year to address one or more specific health and wellness conditions or concerns, with cholesterol management and digestive health coming in at the top of the list.
