Across the range and across the world, the soft drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks or RTD coffee drinks beverage market has been showing consistent growth. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years, which means that the industry will be challenged to pick up on current and emerging trends and respond quickly to consumer wishes. As well as new and innovative flavours, consumers worldwide are increasingly looking for more healthy, reduced sugar and plant-based variants of their favourite drinks.

Brown is one of the most important colours in the food industry. It is produced naturally, for example, when baking bread or roasting onions, but also when grilling steaks. The artificial colourings or technological additives which are often used to colour food brown are now less acceptable to consumers, so the market is increasingly researching natural alternatives.

Plant-based products enjoy a double-digit growth over the last years. Although consumers are interested in plant-based foods, they want them to be as close as possible to the sensory properties of traditional products, such as desserts and cheese. Moreover, they expect them to provide functional added value.
Döhler provides a wide range of natural ingredients that are the ideal basis for developing a variety of plant-based cheese applications.

Which trends can be expected for 2020 in light of this development, and how can manufacturers successfully comply with these complex market requirements?
