Zhao Yali, chairman of China Beverage Industry Association, is also the president of protein beverage branch. She hopes that with the establishment of protein beverage branch, she can carry out more targeted work, especially in the aspects of protein beverage market expansion, consumer science education, characteristic index research, etc., so as to promote the healthy and high-quality development of protein beverage industry.
It is reported that after 11 years of industry development from 2007 to 2018, the protein beverage branch has ushered in a mature development opportunity-in 2017, there will be 2161 enterprises above the designated size in the beverage industry, and 297 enterprises with milk beverage and vegetable protein beverage, accounting for 13.74 of the industry.%. Protein beverage production accounted for more than 10% of the total beverage production, sales revenue reached 19%. The establishment of the "Protein Beverage Branch" shows that the role and influence of the once "niche" plant protein category has received unprecedented attention under the national strategy of "Healthy China" and the trend of nutritional diversification. It also demonstrates and confirms that the "tuyere of plant protein beverages" that has been mentioned before does exist, and the "wind" cannot be ignored.
In the past, it was often said in the industry that there were "three major" beverages, referring to the three major categories of packaged drinking water, carbonated beverages, and fruit and vegetable juices. Nowadays, with the pursuit of health by consumers, many small drinks have risen strongly, and protein drinks have come to the fore. According to statistics, the output value of protein beverage industry has exceeded that of carbonated drinks and fruit and vegetable juice drinks. As a traditional beverage in China, vegetable protein drinks are becoming the new favorite of consumers with their health attributes and unique taste. According to a report by Kantar this year, in the trend of consumption recovery, health food has become the leading sector, while soy milk is far ahead with a growth rate of 42%.
Plant protein plays an important role in promoting national nutrition and health
The "Healthy China 2030" Planning Outline, issued and implemented by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on October 25, 2016, aims to promote the construction of a healthy China and improve people's health. "Healthy China" has become a national strategy, and nutrition is the cornerstone of health, food is the carrier of nutrition, and nutrition must be achieved through food intake. Zhao Yali, chairman of the China Beverage Industry Association, said that as an important member of the food industry, beverages should not only meet the needs of consumers for leisure, pleasure and improvement of quality of life, but also keep up with the rhythm of "healthy China". Drive industrial transformation and upgrading with reform and innovation, enrich the supply of nutrition and health products, and promote the integration of nutrition and health with the development of the beverage industry.
In 2016, the Ministry of Health of China issued a new "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents". The new version of the guidelines recommends that Chinese residents reduce meat consumption (halving their intake) in order to improve public health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Similarly, the French government has invested heavily in creating protein substitutes, with the goal of spending 0.1 billion euros to develop plant-based proteins in the future. The US government revised the US version of the dietary guidelines at the end of 2015 and also recommended increasing the intake of plant protein-there is no doubt that plant protein will become the main trend of food and beverage in the future.
Zhao Yali, chairman of the China Beverage Industry Association, pointed out that the development of protein beverages should not be limited to emphasizing the content of protein. Protein beverages, as a beverage that can bring health and pleasure to consumers and has fashionable characteristics, have the advantages of unsaturated fatty acids, cellulose, etc., in the case of deepening and improving the overall understanding of the industry, vegetable protein beverages can develop more new products.
The seven strategies of the National Nutrition Plan (2017-2030) clearly put forward "popularizing nutrition and health knowledge, improving the supply and dissemination of nutrition and health science information, promoting the normalization of nutrition and health science popularization and education activities", and "eating and moving balance, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and improving the ability and effect of nutrition support for sports people" appeared in the "six actions" of the plan. Today, with the rapid awakening of consumers' health awareness, how to help consumers acquire health knowledge scientifically, obtain health products conveniently, and improve their health level while enjoying a better life has become one of the social responsibilities that enterprises and brands need to bear in their own development.
