Chile: Food Processing Ingredients
Consumer spending on food and beverages has risen significantly over the past few years and reached 30 billion in 2012. This growth has been mainly propelled by higher living standards, falling unemployment and increased purchasing power. Health and wellness concerns are a growing trend for the consumer, as well as easy-to-prepare foods and snack foods. The organic food market, while still small, has also been steadily growing over the past several years. The market continues to consolidate through mergers, leaving a wide gap in size and capacity between the leading food processers and the smaller ones.
