Targeting the Ageing Population with Healthy Food and Drinks: Future Product Opportunities and Trends in NPD
Scripp Business Insights, December 2007, Pages: 97
The food and drink industry continues to overlook the NPD opportunities associated with an ageing population. As life expectancies lengthen and the average age rises, there is an associated increase in the prevalence of many lifestyle diseases. This presents an opportunity for food and drinks manufacturers to develop functional products specifically aimed at older demographics. Targeting the Ageing Population with Healthy Food and Drinks is a new management report that examines NPD and market trends, and pinpoints opportunities for targeting seniors in Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas. This report analyzes the key trends affecting, the seniors’ health market including functional, anti-ageing and convenience. Develop more effective innovation strategies for targeting seniors using this report’s analysis of trends in NPD by category, region, product tag and flavour.
Key issues examined by this report...
-Health concerns. The prevalence of serious illnesses increases with age. Healthy eating and lifestyle changes can help prevent certain diseases. Successful products will be those that can boost the immune system over time, as well as offer quicker fixes.
-Functional food and drinks consumption is below average amongst those aged over 50 years. In Europe in 2004, 37% of functional food and drink consumption (volume) was attributed to the over 50’s. Most functional products are aimed at the biggest demographic which is those aged 25-49 years old.
-Missed NPD opportunity. Snacks, ready meals, confectionery, bakery and cereals all experienced a decline in the share of healthy products launched targeting the over 50s between 2004 and 2007. Only soft drinks experienced NPD growth.
-Inertia. Elderly consumers are unlikely to be interested in dramatically changing their eating habits. However, those aged 50-65 years old show a stronger interest in experimentation.
