The big stories
The growing awareness of mental health and wellbeing has helped boost their significance among consumers. Interest in holistic health made gut wellness paramount in 2019, with its broad health potentials.
Rising cases of diabetes create opportunities for low-sugar and high-fibre food and drink, and low-calorie or low-carb diet plans.
In the next two years
