Health in Beverages Congress 2012 Flagship Event for the FMCG Sector

In order to satisfy the consumer’s thirst for healthier drinks, beverage manufacturers must innovate. In a harsh marketplace where poor sales will result in reduced shelf space and even the demise of the company, only continued innovation can guarantee survival.

With an increasingly savvy and health-focused consumer base, manufacturers strive to supplement their products with additional benefits. The commercial edge can be achieved by making products with more natural ingredients or adding value in terms of vitamins, minerals and performance-enhancing ingredients.
