This report analyzes the market context, NPD landscape, new ingredients and technologies and future salt reduction strategies.

Scope of this research

• Understand the key drivers for salt reduction in food and drinks with a specific focus on new developments.
• Evaluate new product launches with reduced salt type claims, and the activities of key food and drink manufacturers leading product innovation.
• Identify and assess new ingredients and technologies which are expanding the boundaries of what can be achieved in salt reduction in food and drinks.
• Analyze innovative tools being used in the research and development of salt reduction solutions.
• Understand the opinions of key stakeholders and the future opportunities and challenges for the food and drinks manufacturers.

Research and analysis highlights

In the industry survey carried out for this report, the six most mentioned (all receiving at least 5% of total mentions) companies/brands thought to be driving innovation within the reduction of salt and sodium in food and drink were the Campbell Soup Company, Nestlé, Unilever, Kraft, Frito-Lay, and Heinz.
