Ingredient opportunities turned consumer stars
Wellness Works USA launched Oatworks beverages in 2013 (smoothies) boasting benefits such as “reducing cholesterol and aiding digestion”. The oat and fruit smoothies contains 100 per cent real fruit juice, puree with no added sugar and PromOat, a proprietary water- soluble oat fibre ingredient from Sweden.
Beta- glucan rich Oat based beverages and Omega-3 infused water have become the latest stars in the functional beverage industry in 2013.
Ocean Omega USA launched Omega-3 infusion waters in 2013. These products are fortified waters with a variety of antioxidant rich flavours aimed at the heart health market. The product uses proprietary Ocean's omega technology to provide fortified water products aimed at this growing market

The APAC Story : Focus still on overall Health & Energy
APAC country’s still focus on basic nutrition and providing beverages that cater to energy, sugar reduction and hydration due to the environmental climate. The AEC will result in great product differentiation as beverage products vary greatly from country to country

19. 19
Trend 2 : Focus on Natural - Ingredient Shift
USA: Stevia a natural sweetener has replaced aspartame as the sweetener of choice in most functional beverages
EU : Synthetic bet-carotene a traditional orange juice flavour and colour has been swapped for natural variants
•Rising demand for substituting synthetic ingredients in beverages with natural ingredients such as plant extracts due to worries over synthetic variants safety.

20. 20
The APAC Story : Natural products are governed largely by local offerings
When it comes to natural products local vendors are considered the better suppliers in APAC due to the perception that local ingredients are more viable and tested natural ingredients. This has given rise to the growing demand for local RTD tea products and indigenous flavoured beverages isolated to the countries in this region. The AEC with its open single market will increase internal competition in these areas while providing these manufacturers with better opportunities to develop for export markets

•Not “Think Global and Act Local”
•Local Story. Country specific products

Focus on cultural formats
Probiotic Smoothies

22. 22
Trend 3: The Glocal Phenomenon- Ethnic ingredients go global
•As the world becomes a global village there in increased interest in indigenous ethnic products from ancient civilizations products as a source of nutrition particularly in beverages
Guaraná Antarctica is a guaraná-flavoured energy drink, originating in Brazil and manufactured and distributed by Anheuser- Busch InBev. The drink is produced only in three countries (Portugal, Brazil and Japan). Due to its popularity as a natural stimulant it is now one of the worlds top 15 drinks
Ayataka is a green tea based drink that has become Coca –Colas 15th one billion dollar brand in 2013. The tea claims weight management benefits and while it is produced in Japan is quickly becoming a global favourite

23. 23
The APAC Story: Ethnic Flavours dominate local offerings
•As the world becomes a global village there in increased interest in indigenous ethnic products from ancient civilizations products as a source of nutrition particularly in beverages
The calamondin or calamansi, is a fruit tree in the family Rutaceae native Asia.. The fruit is indigenous and widely cultivated in the Philippines . Calamansi juice is produce by manufacturers in the Philippines to provide local flavour with natural ingredients.
RTD Tea dominated demand across APAC countries the tea claims weight management and health living benefits. Though adapted for APAC markets a lot of these teas are produced by Japanese manufacturers except for local companies such as Sinar Sosro and Orang Tua.

24. 24
Trend 4: Demand for on-the go formats
•Beverages are no longer expected to serve as adjuncts to meals but provide as much nutrition as the meal itself especially in the breakfast sector.
•Over a third of the worlds population skips breakfast every day giving rise to key opportunities in this segment

25. 25
Trend 4: Demand for on the go formats– Liquid Breakfast
Liquid breakfasts sales in developed countries have grown explosively over the last 4 years to account for nearly 5 per cent of the breakfast foods market in 2013.
Kellogg’s manufactures breakfast cereals and in 2013 launched its Kellogg’s breakfast to go range as sales of liquid breakfast products continue to skyrocket
Sanitarium’s Up & Go was one of the earliest brands of liquid breakfasts and continues to be a global market leader in this category accounting for over 95 per cent of sales in the ANZ region in 2013.
All major breakfast food manufacturers now have a liquid breakfast variant to stay competitive. For eg: PepsiCo is introducing a Quaker-oatmeal-based drink in Brazil and a offshoot of Mountain Dew, which provides citric acid along with the brand's familiar caffeine kick.

26. 26
Trend 4: APAC story: Demand for on the go formats– Liquid Breakfast Options
While liquid breakfast catches on in ANZ APAC is witnessing a growing demand for milk fortified with local natural ingredients aimed at providing energy to address micronutrient deficiency claims in the local diet.
Nestle has introduced a version of Milo called PROTOMALT with malted barley extract, B Vitamins and Magnesium providing nutritious sources of energy aimed at children.
Vthai food products has Vfresh basil seed drinks aimed at a variety of daily diseases including constipation, controlling blood sugar and diarhoea. It is available in a tea format is highly popular in Thailand
With growing focus on breakfast many beverage manufacturers in APAC are focussing on this sector as a key growth area especially with milk and tea formats that are already well accepted in the region

27. 27
Trend 5 : Changing demographics, Changing decision makers
As global population demographics change immense stress is being placed on health Food & Beverages to cater to the need of select demographics such as women and children and their nutrition.
Challenge : Providing nutrition for children burdened with extremely high educational and social expectations
Challenge : Providing nutrition for on the go mothers and women looking to provide best nutriton on tight budgets and time schedules

28. 28
Trend 5 :APAC :Changing demographics, Changing demands- Women’s Health
Women’s Health beverages cater to different demands as increasing women join the workforce globally leaving lesser time for nutrition planning
As inner health becomes a key cause for concern in Indonesian women. Local flavours such as Jamu are witnessing popularity due to their contribution to various health factors such as menstruation, exhaustion, body shaping and face toning, beauty, younger appearance, glowing skin etc.
Thai-Go™ was developed by Nature's Sunshine scientists as an immune health drink aimed at Asian women. The drink is made from the pericarp (rind) of the mangosteen fruit, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory features.

29. 29
Trend 5 :Changing demographics, Changing demands- Children’s Health
While Women’s health beverage requirements deal largely with immune and beauty supplementation children's health beverages are largely condition specific in different parts of the world.
Thai based TIPCO has introduced a series of fruit juices fortified with omega-3 DHA and vitamins aimed at addressing malnutrition and providing children with balanced micronutrients
Singapore based Kvas Beverage Enterprise Pte Ltd has introduced a yoghurt based childrens drink that does not need refirgeraton in a bid to encourage children to move away from sugary srinks and incorpooate health digestive bacteria into their daily diet.

But education and clear messaging to consumers important
•Too many products and too many ingredients with too many benefits – some without validation of claims, some misleading, some lacking clear effect. All complicate messages to consumers
•Products that build loyalty have proven ingredients with clear benefits and positioning

Challenges
Way Forward
APAC
Complex distribution and logistics scenario
Extremely complex logistical network has resulted in requirement for a pan APAC distribution strategy. Examples of such market expansion firms to be liaised with include DKSH, Zuellig and Li & Fung.
Lack of Product Differentiation
Too much information, very little analysis. Manufacturers need to focus on clear health claims for specific ingredients rather than mixes
Lack of Cultural Awareness
Extremely important to understand the areas culture before launching products. For RTD tea drinks priced at a premium will immediately face resistance in ethnic tea drinking markets of Indonesia and Malaysia.
Expensive Pricing Caters to Premium Segments Only
Functional Food & Beverages and nutraceutical products still focused on premium segments. Needs to emulate Indonesia's RTD tea example and focus on lower segments via smaller packaging formats.
