21 Jun Webinar: Health and Wellness in Asia Pacific
Our two local experts, Bee Chen Lim Biospringer Asia Pacific Product Manager, and Kevin Lwe, Biospringer Asia Pacific Culinary Centre Manager, presented a 20-minutes webinar on Health and Wellness.
They discussed the trends driving Health & Wellness, namely Reductionism and Naturalism. While Naturalism focuses on the demand for clean labels and natural ingredients, Reductionism refers to consumers’ efforts to avoid or reduce the consumption of unhealthy ingredients such as sugar, fat, and salt. This presentation focused on Reductionism.
Asia Pacific consumers are looking for healthier alternatives
During the webinar, our experts highlighted the importance of healthier formulations and reducing the consumption of detrimental ingredients. According to the Innova Database, in 2022, 22% of consumers in the Asia Pacific region aimed to limit or reduce the intake of products/ingredients that are harmful to their health, such as sugar, salt, and fat.
To provide an overview of the Health and Wellness trend in Asia Pacific, our Biospringer Asia Pacific team conducted research and compiled the data in a regional report.
