Report Description
Functional Food remains to be an ambiguous term till today due to lack of any authoritative
definition over it. Every country has defined this term according to its needs. Basically any food
providing additional health benefits beyond the conventional food is termed as functional food.
Japan was the first country to coin this term. Sometimes it is also called as Nutraceutical or Health
Food. The recent trend of functional food includes dietary supplements containing vitamins,
minerals, herbs; which are not recommended by medical practitioners

$175 billion. With an annual average growth rate of about 15% the global market for functional
food is forecast to exceed $230 billion by 2015. The growth in the functional food market can be
attributed to the current trend for opting out to be preventive rather than reactive on health issues.

products that include cereals and grains.

between 6-8% globally.

As evident from the pie chart above that North America led the market for 2013. Gradually the
functional food will be under the reach of middle class men due to the reduction in prices brought
by the fierce competition among functional food manufacturers. Therefore the nutraceuticals

market will definitely see a growth in Asia Pacific and South American countries with middle
income economy.
The leading countries in the consumption of nutraceuticals are USA, Canada, Japan, China, Brazil,
UK, Russia, Mexico and India. The expected CAGR for the growth of nutraceuticals market will
remain between 6-8% at global scale till 2020.

world. Hershey Co bought 80% stake in Shanghai Golden Monkey Co. Ltd. for $ 584 million while
Hormel Foods Corporation acquired Skippy brand from Unilever for $ 700 million.
Research Institutes are continuously monitoring every functional ingredient/ component that can
add value to the nutrient value of functional food. The development of plant sterols and stanols is
an undergoing research to incorporate them as functional ingredient in functional food. A
programme called as NutraMara in Ireland is looking for the feasibility of using marine plants and
species in functional food. Poultry farms have started developing modified diets for their hens in

.
