Heightened Need for Immunity Boosting Functional Foods amid COVID-19 to Fuel the Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a health emergency of unprecedented magnitude, forcing people worldwide to rethink their diets and lifestyles. With the pandemic relentlessly intensifying across the planet, health professionals are aggressively promoting functional food & beverages to enhance immune systems. For example, an ex-nutrition policymaker in the Philippines recently noted in an interview that functional foods, such as vegetables and fruits, are instrumental in battling the coronavirus since they boost immunity and can also improve public health.

Private food technology companies are also developing new techniques to create novel offerings. In March 2021, for instance, Seattle-based SoRSE Technology announced that it is engaging in intensive research to integrate functional ingredients into packaged food. The coronavirus outbreak has, thus, rejuvenated the interest in functional foods and drinks among consumers and producers alike, thus benefiting the market and allowing it to register a considerable growth of 11.0% in 2020.

Driving Factor

The proliferation of Food & Beverage Startups to Elevate Market Potential

The Functional Foods and Beverages Market growth is set to accelerate due to the steadily growing presence of startups specializing in nutrient-enriched foods and drinks. For example, New Jersey-based Remedy Organics makes beverages based on plant products and infuses potent super-ingredients, botanicals, herbs, proteins, and probiotics. With the demand for non-dairy products rising, some startups are engaged in the development of plant-based dairy alternatives.

For instance, Toronto-based YoFiit leverages the high nutrition quotient of chickpeas to create functional non-dairy meal solutions. Further, a few startups are also targeting their products towards consumers living with chronic diseases. Texas-based Hapi Drinks, for example, offers sugar-free drinks for kids with a mission to fight Type 2 diabetes and childhood obesity. The increasing availability of such niche functional food & beverage in major economies will enable the market to achieve a long-lasting growth trajectory.
