Abstract
Overview
Introduction
Food is considered to be the most important individual aspect of 'wellness',
but consumers' eating behavior still does not always align with their desire
for healthy lifestyles. This report examines how wellness interacts with
consumers' food choices, and how manufacturers can benefit from growth in the
wellness trend.
Scope
- Quantitative data covering sales value of organic, natural and functional
foods between 2000 and 2010, broken down by country and category
- Population data showing the numbers of overweight consumers by country
between 2005 and 2010
- Survey-based insights into consumers' attitudes towards their bodies and
minds, and how they affect consumption behavior.
- Detailed action points offering practical strategies based on the trends
and insights analyzed in the report.
Report Highlights
Consumers are increasingly flocking to purchase organic, natural and
functional foods, in an attempt to gain wellness from within. In a 2006
Datamonitor survey, 29% of US, and 38% of European respondents said that they
had chosen more natural organic food and drinks over standard variants over
the past year.
Despite greater awareness of nutritional issues, and growing media concerns
over obesity the population of the developed world is becoming unhealthier.
The percentage of the population who are overweight or obese in the US is
forecast to be 72% by 2010, up from 68% in 2005.
