Increasing Consumer Awareness and Health Consciousness 

Increasing Demand for Personalized Nutrition: There is a growing trend towards personalized nutrition, where consumers seek functional foods tailored to their individual health needs, dietary preferences, and genetic profiles. Advances in technology, such as genetic testing and data analytics, are enabling companies to develop personalized functional food products and services to meet the specific requirements of consumers.

North America accounts for more than 24.7% of the global market for nutritional foods. Immunity, losing weight, digestive health, and heart health are the most important application areas in the North American market. This might be due to consumers' increased interest in health in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, which is expected to drive demand for functional food and drinks. Furthermore, the increased popularity with protein bars, shakes, & cookies amongst millennials as healthy snacking options is expected to drive demand for nutritious foods in North America over the next several years.
