Market trends and growth drivers

Global consumer megatrends are driving unprecedented demand for protein and functional nutrition. Glanbia’s products are uniquely positioned at the centre of these high-growth nutrition categories.

Protein demand rapidly expanding

Fitness is no longer an occasional activity: it is now a lifestyle choice. A growing focus on active lifestyles, new innovations in weight management and a greater understanding of the link between diet, exercise and health has led to the mainstreaming of protein with demand accelerating globally.

Demand for functional benefits from nutrition growing

A desire for improved health and physical wellness is driving the demand for functional ingredients. Consumers are searching for better, healthier and smarter nutritional and functional ingredients that support everything from energy and focus, to muscle repair and gut-health.

Cleaner products gaining consumer preference

Today’s consumers are increasingly seeking greater transparency on the ingredients within their food with demand for clean-label and minimally processed foods on the rise.

Extension of health benefits across occasions

Consumers are increasingly seeking functional nutrition outside of traditional occasions, driving the growth of new high-protein formats (e.g. protein coffee, protein cereal, etc).

Pleasure with purpose emphasising taste and texture

Consumers want to indulge in taste and texture while staying aligned with health and wellness goals. This is often challenging as producers seek to include difficult to work with functional ingredients and molecules into great tasting food.
