Why
subscribe to the OzScientific® Weekly Digest?
OzScientific® Weekly Digest is the only weekly publication that provides a
comprehensive update on functional foods and ingredients. Functional foods
category refers to those foods and ingredients that provide health benefits
beyond the basic nutrition. Aging population and increased incidences of
lifestyle-related, chronic diseases and conditions such as obesity are the main
driving factors for the growth and development of functional foods. In 2005,
world Health Organisation (WHO) estimated that of the 50 million premature
deaths worldwide, most were due to lifestyle-related diseases such as
cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer and diabetes. WHO estimates that in next 10
years world economies will loose trillions of dollars in curing these diseases.
China alone will forego over US$550 billion due to its inability to control
these diseases. As functional foods offer potential for prevention of major
chronic diseases, there are growing opportunities for innovations in this
category. In fact, we believe that the present US$75 billion functional foods
category will grow 3 to 4 times faster than the average food category for
several years and will be gradually recognised as a distinct category of the
food business that will have a strong impact on future growth of food companies.
A comprehensive knowledge of the developments in functional food markets, such
as offered by the OzScientific® Weekly Digest, will be crucial for the growth
of food companies.
Research methodology
Through research and analysis of over 500 resources each week, the OzScientific®
Weekly Digest puts you in a commanding position to lead the functional foods
market. We analyse company media releases, web searches, RSS feeds, market
research websites, and other functional food sources including company web sites
and financial reports. We also compile market size and trends data for further
analysis of functional food markets.
The Digest is divided into the following sections:
• Business & market intelligence: This section monitors business
and strategic decisions made by established and dominant companies and help
clients align own strategies with the changing market landscape
• Consumer intelligence & trends: Due to increased awareness of
health benefits of food and food components and increased marketing by food
companies, consumer knowledge and behaviour is constantly changing. Gathering
consumer intelligence inevitably is a priority if you are focusing on new
product development. This section summarises weekly activity on consumer trends
• Innovations, new products and patents: Capturing intellectual
property and monitoring new product launches can significantly enhance companies
ability to capture a segment of functional food markets. This section compiles
new product activities and patent applications related to functional foods
• Regulations, labelling & related news: Due to the consumer safety
reasons most regulations are still on the cautious side, however, food
regulations are being constantly altered or updated to reflect the political and
consumer group influences and recognising health benefits. Keeping tab on the
changing food regulations and meeting the requirements for labelling and health
claims are vital for the success of functional foods. This section monitors
major announcements and changes related to regulations and labelling
• Nutritional research & related news: Due to the complex nature of
human body metabolism, nutritional studies can lead to often-conflicting
outcomes. Evidence based functional foods are more likely to become successful
part of long-term diet rather that dying in a heap of fads that are also part of
functional food trends. The Digest updates the nutritional research and related
news in this section.
In addition, the OzScientific® Weekly Digest provides a comprehensive overview
of food industry activities from Australia & New Zealand and links to major
conferences related to functional foods
