From cereals to snack bars, Asian consumers are increasingly prioritising nutrition in their daily choices. Functional ingredients that support health and wellness are no longer optional; they’re shaping purchasing decisions and product development strategies.
Recent insights from Mintel highlight key trends:
- Fibre and protein claims are surging across cereals and snack bars
- 71% of Thai adults plan to increase fibre intake over the next five years
- 77% of Chinese adults are making protein a priority in daily meals
The message is clear: fibre and protein are driving the next wave of innovation in Asia. Brands that integrate these ingredients into convenient, tasty formats are better positioned to meet evolving consumer expectations.
