The food and beverage industry is experimenting with several innovations as customer taste profiles change. Consumers are willing to try new and captivating products with variations in flavor and other characteristics, leading food and beverage manufacturers to develop products with unique flavors. For example, strawberries, raspberries, and cherries are some of the most common fruits used by chocolate makers, but now chocolate makers also use peach in their products. Similarly, hazelnuts, almonds and peanuts are quite popular when it comes to nuts, but now chocolate makers also use pistachio, flaxseed and sunflower seeds in their chocolate products. Herbs and spices, such as chocolate infused with ginger, chilli, and cinnamon, are also gaining in importance for their health benefits.

Food inclusions are generally used in various applications to improve the taste and nutritional values of products, which leads to higher cost and directly affects the final price of finished products. The high cost of food inclusions can be largely attributed to their high raw material costs and the increasing application of inclusions in food and beverage products. Moreover, as the taste profile of the consumer is improvised, there is a need for unique products. The requirement of unique products can be satisfied by modifying local products or by imported products, which in turn leads to a higher price for the final products. In addition, the ingredients used in the production of food inclusions for bakery, confectionery and ready meals are subject to strict health and safety controls based on the government regulations of each country, thus affecting the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Adding inclusions to food products poses a major challenge for food and beverage manufacturers due to the conditions required for storage and based on their properties. Furthermore, determining which step in the manufacturing process to add to the final product to extend the shelf life of the products is also one of the challenges for food and beverage manufacturers. As the consumer’s desire to consume new and unique flavors further hinders the growth of food inclusions, unique inclusions have to be imported from different geographic areas which are traditional products. All of these factors are expected to challenge the growth of the market during the forecast period.
