Burgeoning Senior Population Presents Significant Opportunities For The Food Industry

June 12, 2013: 12:00 AM EST
Mintel analysts say food companies will have a lot of opportunities to satisfy the demand not only for healthy products for the growing senior population, but also the demand for easier-to-open packaging. "Of all the launches in 2012 there were actually only 0.6% that had specifically easy to open packaging,” a Mintel analyst said. The world’s population of seniors age 55 and over will grow by 144 million by 2015, according to Mintel, and this will create “massive opportunities” for companies in the food and beverage industries.
