Study Overview

Dietetic foods are considered one of the segments of the global nutrition-health market. They can be defined as "foodstuffs intended for particular dietary uses which, by virtue of their particular composition or the special processes involved in their manufacture, are clearly distinguishable from foodstuffs for everyday consumption , which are suitable for the stated nutritional purpose and which are marketed in such a way as to indicate that they meet that purpose". which are suitable for the stated nutritional purpose and which are marketed in such a way as to indicate that they meet that purpose ". In France, this segment of the market has seen significant growth and sustained development since the 1990s. These can be divided into several categories. These include :

Food supplements (vitamins, minerals, omega-3s, probiotics, etc.) consumed by nearly 60% of French people [Synadiet] Meal replacements (shakes, protein bars, diet soups) Allergen-free products (gluten-free, lactose-free): it is estimated, for example, that 1% of the European population suffers from celiac disease. Organic and natural products (certain organic foods, superfoods, vegan products), with the organic market set to reach nearly 13 billion euros by 2022, thanks to growing demand for responsible, sourced products. Slimming products (appetite suppressants, fat burners, detox teas)

The market for diet foods has been growing for some thirty years, driven in particular by public awareness of the correlation between healthy eating and good health. This awareness has accelerated with the diagnosis of certain diet-related diseases such as celiac disease and diabetes, the increase in the number of overweight people, and the desire to consume in a more environmentally-friendly way(veganism, flexitarianism, etc.). In this growing market, new entrants are emerging (notably the major food groups, but also mass retailers with the development of their own diet brands). At the same time, concentration is intensifying, with many food industry giants such as Herta and Danone embarking on external growth strategies to strengthen their position. Faced with this situation, specialist players such as ABCD Nutrition are conquering new niches with the launch of new products or new brands, such as Naten, aninnovative cookie brand.
