For decades, the nutrition industry has been built on a model of standardized products and mass consumption, with functional foods and FMCG systems driving scale through ingredients, formats, and branding. Today, that model is being fundamentally reshaped.
Rising demand for chronic disease management, increasingly sophisticated consumers, and the rapid advancement of data, digital health, and AI technologies are accelerating a shift from “one-size-fits-all” nutrition toward personalized, data-driven health solutions. Nutrition is no longer just about products—it is evolving into integrated systems that combine assessment, data, intervention, and ongoing health management.
