A Deep-Dive into our work on the industry
The food and beverage industry has been experiencing a series of changes since the last decade due to the rapidly changing behaviors of consumers, technological advancements, and stringent regulations. Nutrition, convenience, and sustainability requirements are redefining the way food and beverage industries operate, with consumers shifting to plant-forward diets, “clean labels,” nutritionally dense ingredients, and personalized nutrition.
Ingenious e-Brain Solutions (IEBS) assesses the strategic paths and actions focused on the short, mid, and long-term horizons, usually ranging from 1 to 20 years down the line. IEBS supports clients in identifying and developing actionable plans to address complex business challenges related to supply chain, evolving consumer needs, regulations, and sustainability through our technology, market intelligence, and competitive intelligence services.
Reformulation & Reduction
Due to consumers shifting towards healthier and sustainable consumption patterns and ensuring access to safe and nutritious food for all, industry leaders are aligning their food and beverage product portfolios to improve their nutritional profile or reduce the content of ingredients or nutrients of concern. Our expertise supports our clients in developing growth strategies by understanding consumer needs. We also help them in reformulating specific products to ensure that they are as per the norms put in place by kosher certifying agencies/halal certification agencies.
Health & Wellness
The COVID-19 pandemic has broadly influenced consumers’ behavior in selecting food and beverage products. Their decision is driven by their desire to consume healthy and nutrient-dense foods and drinks that can boost the immune system, improve mood, and maintain energy. Our expertise supports our clients in identifying latest trends and opportunities such as infant formula research, setting the roadmap for the better-for-you food and beverage category, and enabling them to develop successful growth strategies.
Packaging & Delivery
As the food and beverage delivery sector witnesses immense growth, packaging becomes more indispensable. Industry players and leading packaging suppliers are exploring novel technologies such as bio-plastic research for sustainable and lightweight materials, waste reduction or detection options, and interactive digital formats. Our expertise supports our clients in identifying techno-commercial insights on recyclable materials, bio-based packaging, regulatory-compliant materials, and technologies to enable them to integrate unique solutions and maintain a competitive edge.
Sustainability & Circular Economy
The food and beverage industry is observing significant efforts and initiatives by stakeholders to promote sustainability and a circular economy, primarily due to regulations, governmental and industrial efforts, and evolving consumer preferences. Our expertise supports our clients in exploring and prioritizing alternate materials and technologies through sustainable environmental research. We also help them with innovative solutions for a sustainable future and redesign the entire “farm to fork” process.
Waste Reduction
A reduction in food loss and waste is positively impacting the bottom line of many companies while improving sustainability and food security. This results in a significant reduction in GHG emissions and makes economic sense for all stakeholders across the value chain. Our expertise supports our clients in integrating solutions to reduce plastic waste throughout the production process. Like other waste management solutions, solid waste management solutions can also be used at different stages like processing, handling, storage, distribution, marketing, and consumption.
Digitalization
The food and beverage industry is undergoing a digital revolution, and the rise of Industry 5.0 is creating a vast range of opportunities and challenges for manufacturers and suppliers. The latest technologies, including IoT, techrobotics automation & solutions, advanced data analytics, and smart sensor solutions, have the potential to transform production and supply chains. Our expertise supports our clients in identifying and integrating valid solutions into their existing production processes, including food processing, filling, packaging, supply, and integration.
