Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/m3tlr3/global_diabetic) has announced the addition of the "Global Diabetic Food Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Diabetic Food market to grow at a CAGR of 10.43 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing aging population around the globe. The Global Diabetic Food market has also been witnessing the growth of the F&B industry.

Key vendors dominating this space are David Chapman's Ice Cream Ltd., Fifty 50 Food Inc., Nestle SA, and The Great Nutrition Co. Other vendors mentioned in the report are HJ Heinz Co., Kraft Foods Group Inc., Saputo Inc., Unilever Plc., and Breisgaumilch GmbH. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The F&B industry includes a diverse set of products, such as fresh, frozen, and processed foods. The main factors contributing to the growth of this industry are the rise in the global population, the increasing demand for diabetic foods, and the increased purchasing power of the consumers in emerging countries. The rapid economic growth in countries such as India and China has resulted in a significant rise in the disposable income of consumers. Moreover, the establishment of numerous organized retailers around the world has led to the easy availability of a variety of diabetic food products. Thus, the growth of the F&B industry is expected to boost the demand for diabetic food products to meet the varied needs of consumers. According to the report, one of the major drivers in the market is the increasing global aging population, which contains the potential and primary consumers of diabetic foods. The majority of the demand for diabetic foods is from the APAC region, which is a densely populated region, with changing consumer lifestyles and increasing disposable income.

M2 - Mon Mar 24, 10:49AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/m3tlr3/global_diabetic) has announced the addition of the "Global Diabetic Food Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Diabetic Food market to grow at a CAGR of 10.43 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing aging population around the globe. The Global Diabetic Food market has also been witnessing the growth of the F&B industry. However, the threat of ingredients and raw material contamination could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are David Chapman's Ice Cream Ltd., Fifty 50 Food Inc., Nestle SA, and The Great Nutrition Co. Other vendors mentioned in the report are HJ Heinz Co., Kraft Foods Group Inc., Saputo Inc., Unilever Plc., and Breisgaumilch GmbH. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The F&B industry includes a diverse set of products, such as fresh, frozen, and processed foods. The main factors contributing to the growth of this industry are the rise in the global population, the increasing demand for diabetic foods, and the increased purchasing power of the consumers in emerging countries. The rapid economic growth in countries such as India and China has resulted in a significant rise in the disposable income of consumers. Moreover, the establishment of numerous organized retailers around the world has led to the easy availability of a variety of diabetic food products. Thus, the growth of the F&B industry is expected to boost the demand for diabetic food products to meet the varied needs of consumers. According to the report, one of the major drivers in the market is the increasing global aging population, which contains the potential and primary consumers of diabetic foods. The majority of the demand for diabetic foods is from the APAC region, which is a densely populated region, with changing consumer lifestyles and increasing disposable income.
