These innovations reflect broader industry trends in Asia-Pacific, where consumers increasingly demand products that balance authentic taste, health benefits, and sustainable practices. Indulgence and wellness are no longer separate categories, but expectations that must be delivered together. Meeting this demand requires collaboration, and Kerry extended an invitation to manufacturers and brand owners to co-create solutions that resonate locally while aligning with global nutrition and sustainability priorities.
