Europe maintains strong demand due to its advanced functional food sector and stringent quality standards. Latin America shows promising growth potential, especially in Brazil and Mexico, though economic volatility remains a concern. The Middle East and Africa represent emerging markets where distribution networks and consumer education will be key to unlocking future growth.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
