Study: Dairy leads as preferred packed food for weight management
Dairy products remain the most sought-after packaged food for weight management among consumers, with over 78,700,000 tons sold in 2017.
Demand for packaged food in weight management is projected to expand at a significant pace in the forthcoming years, with volume expected to cross 118,195,000 tons in 2018, reflecting a rate of over 3.4% in 2018, according to a report published by Fact.MR, Rockville, Md. And, dairy is leading the charge.
“The weight management market growth is also complemented by the content display on the front or back of the packaging. Food labeling provides nutritional information regarding ingredients and products along with calorie intake. This has enhanced consumer convenience in keeping track of calories they consume as part of their daily diet pre- and post-workout. This aspect has significantly fueled the sales of packaged food in weight management,” says a subject matter expert in the food and beverages domain.
