Leading Element Driving Change in the Functional Foods Market in 2025: Rising Disease Rates Drive Demand For Functional Foods: A Focus On Health And Prevention Driver

How Are the key drivers contributing to the expansion of the functional foods market?
As the prevalence of diseases continues to rise, consumers are starting to prioritize healthy eating habits, potentially increasing the need for functional foods.

Consequently, the escalating occurrence of cardiovascular and other diseases worldwide is expected to spike the demand for healthy eating habits, which could subsequently drive the functional food market's revenue growth within the forecasting duration.
