Peru Functional Food Market Growth

Growing health awareness among consumers, the prevalence of chronic diseases, and the incorporation of local superfoods into daily diets are some of the crucial market drivers. Peru is well-known for its wide range of native superfoods, such as quinoa, maca, and lucuma, that are increasingly being incorporated into functional food formulations. These ingredients are not only sourced locally but also carry the "superfood" label, appealing to health-conscious consumers in the country.
