Healthy ingredients: check out the industry events for this year

The concern regarding the consumption of healthy ingredients is increasingly evident. According to a report entitled The Top 10 Consumer Trends for 2017, from Euromonitor International, the health food market grew 98% in Brazil, putting the country in the fifth place in the segment’s sales ranking.

Seeking to meet the population’s desire of adopting healthy eating habits, companies from the segment get together all the time at fairs and conferences in Brazil and around the world to discuss trends and to establish good partnerships for the production of richer and more nutritious foods.

Throughout 2018, manufacturers from all over the world will gather at events to present healthy ingredients, equipment, and solutions that can enrich the end consumer’s table and eliminate unhealthy foods from their diet.

The Brazilian market for health food expects more growth

Also according to the Euromonitor International’s report, 83% of respondents said they would spend more to consume healthy ingredients. In addition, 79% of them replace conventional products with foods without coloring (44%), preservatives (22%) or artificial flavors (42%).

In another study from the same agency, Angelica Salado, a research analyst at Euromonitor International, said the expectation is that the market for healthy ingredients in Brazil will grow at least 4% per year by 2021.

These numbers confirm how important it is for companies of natural ingredients and supplements to find increasingly innovative ways to develop GMO-free products.

Blue Macaw Flora is among the companies that aim to spread the benefits of organic and health food. For more than 10 years, the company has been extracting the best of the Brazilian flora in a sustainable way to develop its lines of powdered fruits, dried extracts and fruit bits.

The healthy ingredients company also invests in private label products, which can be found here in Brazil and in countries such as the United States, Canada, Korea, Germany, France, and Australia.

Experts gather at health food fairs

The Blue Macaw’s team is constantly present at events that could result in the production of healthy ingredients.
