investment.

Report Highlights
Functional food and beverages are commonly associated with senior citizens
trying to maintain vitality and reduce the risk of disease. However, lifestyle
changes are resulting in younger consumers purchasing functional foods with
greater regularity, in order to combat the myriad of health problems faced on
a daily basis, such as fatigue.
Overcoming consumer skepticism about a wide range of issues related to
functional products and their purported benefits will be important in gaining
long-term mass acceptance. Industry players should also be wary of pushing a
food or beverage product' s functionality too far.
Sales of functional products are rising across all food and drink categories
in the US and Europe alike, and growth rates continue to outperform growth in
the food and drink categories overall. On a regional basis, the Asia-Pacific
functional food and drink market will continue to outperform the US market
over the next five years.
