The availability of nutritional solutions targeting women\u2019s health is growing. While back in 2012, fewer than 50 new products were introduced to market, by 2021 this number had exceeded 450.<\/p>\n

According to Mintel data, the most active segments of female nutrition have shifted from the more traditional vitamins and supplements; nutritional drinks; and powdered milk products. Today, the market research firm claims the three fastest growing segments for women\u2019s nutrition are Bakery; Nutritional Drinks; Sports\/Energy and Hot Beverages.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the nutritional focus of products is also expanding beyond prenatal, post-pregnancy, and weight loss to encompass holistic needs. This presents an opportunity to food and beverage companies, according to R&D consultancy Sagentia Innovation.<\/p>\n

Supporting women across various life stages<\/strong>\u200b<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe specific role of nutrition in female health is finally gaining attention,\u201d <\/em>\u200bsaid Ankita Singal-Sareen, senior consultant at Sagentia Innovation.<\/p>\n

Although much of the available data on nutrition and health is centred on male physiology, this is changing. \u201cTargeted nutrition could support women across various life stages and the associated physiologic, neurologic, and hormonal variabilities.\u201d<\/em>\u200b<\/p>\n

While digestive health, weight and fitness, and energy needs are well-served by existing female nutrition solutions, opportunity exists to focus on areas that are currently underserved, including hormonal balance, cognitive function, and cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n

According to Singal-Sareen, products grounded in scientific evidence are most likely to generate interest, trust, and loyalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore work is needed to address the full extent of female nutritional needs, promote holistic health, and potentially contribute to risk reduction for chronic disease. Further fundamental and clinical research will generate female-specific data, especially for younger women, and across a range of racial and ethnic backgrounds.\u201d<\/em>\u200b<\/p>\n

A \u2018new wave\u2019 of food and beverage products <\/strong>\u200b<\/h3>\n

Of course, many food and beverage makers currently play in the female nutrition space. According to the consultancy, big names such as Nestl\u00e9, Kellogg\u2019s and Danone sell a range of products aimed at women, such as snacks, breakfast cereals and specialised dairy products. Abbott too sells powdered milk and nutritional drinks for women.<\/p>\n

But Sagentia Innovation expects to see a \u2018new wave\u2019 of food and beverage products combined with services that diagnose female nutritional needs to offer tailored support. These could involve a joined-up approach, whereby food and beverage companies partner with consumer health specialists and technology companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cScience-led developments in female nutrition will help fill in [current nutritional] gaps, and we anticipate that they will accelerate over the next 12 months,\u201d <\/em>\u200bsaid Singal-Sareen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
