About Business Insights

IntroductionAgainst a background of increasing commercial pressures the need to find new markets and exploit them has never been greater. At the same time changes in prevailing healthcare thinking with respect to the role of nutrition means that better nutritional care of patients is increasingly on the agenda of governments and healthcare professionals alike. Add to that the rise in diseases (often associated with aging populations) that can be managed effectively with better nutrition and a burgeoning market segment is being created.At present this area is not well addressed; clinical nutrition products tend to focus on enteral feeding and functional foods neither target this area presently nor are their benefits specific enough to allow them to do so. But regulatory guidelines are encouraging healthcare professionals to close the gap that exists between the recognition that improved nutrition can aid disease management and recovery and actual practice . Increasingly this means that they can be marketed to with products that help in this goal.Key findings
- Nutritional management is a burgeoning market segment which is currently under-targeted. Few products specifically target this area and crucially consumers' needs and wants are often overlooked and are not reflected in product design.
- There is a clear need to promote the role that nutritional management can play in order to close the gap between healthcare professionals' views about the benefits of improved nutritional care of patients and actually prescribing this improved care.
- Hypertension is easily the leading disease area for companies to target. This is due both the sheer number of sufferers of this disease in Western countries, but also because of the clear links to diets and the role that foods can play in helping manage this disease.Key features of this report
