In this 48-page double issue, NBJ analyzes the $228-billion global nutrition industry.
.
EXCERPT FROM OVERVIEW:
Annual check-ups usually breed a sense
of anxiety in a patient, and while the
nutrition industry has some concerns,
overall there is little to consider life-threatening
in 2007. Recent traumas concerning product
quality, safety and country-of-origin and
the chronic symptom of discredits from the
medical and pharmaceutical establishment
have afflicted the patient, but vital signs from
calendar year 2006 are improved. The U.S. nutrition
industry grew 10% in 2006 to consumer
sales of $85 billion, its highest growth since
1998. The more mature supplement segment
topped $22.4 billion and 5% growth, and the
other three major categories were in double
digits. Functional foods posted $31.4 billion
in sales and its highest growth since 2002 on
a strong performance in beverages and niche
categories. Natural & organic foods continued
a consistent progression into the mainstream
food market with 14% growth and moving
from 2% of total food sales in 1997 to 4.7% a
decade later. Natural & organic personal care
and household goods posted a second consecutive
year of record growth in 2006.
