Health and wellbeing have become a major focus in the food and beverages industry and given the current circumstances there has never been a better time for candy manufacturers and brands to join this trend right now.
Opportunity knocks
We all know that consumers are increasingly conscious about their health and wellness these days and are paying more attention to immune-boosting benefits. According to Innova, six out of ten global consumers are increasingly looking for food and beverage products that support their immune health. Natural products with little or no sugar also play a decisive role.
Due to this, botanicals and herbs are already affecting the beverage category enormously with new product launches focusing more and more on immune-boosting and other functional properties. Mintel reports that in Germany alone, 61% of adult consumers attribute functional benefits to botanical ingredients e.g. herbs and spices. It is fair to assume that other countries around the world botanicals would achieve similar results. This association in the minds of consumers opens up new possibilities for candy and indulgent treats by using herbs and botanicals to boost your next candy innovation in line with this mega trend.
