Natural and organic beauty products are especially in demand. 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚: - Food & Beverage: The premium and gourmet food market is expanding, particularly in Brazil and Mexico. Consumers are increasingly seeking sustainable and ethically sourced foods, creating a growing market for high-quality, organic products. - Beauty: Latin America's beauty market is thriving, with Brazil leading in hair care and skincare. There's a noticeable shift toward natural ingredients and products that prioritize wellness. 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚: - Food & Beverage: The rise of a health-conscious middle class is fueling demand for organic and plant-based foods. E-commerce is also transforming the way food products reach consumers, with countries like Vietnam and Indonesia experiencing double-digit growth. - Beauty: Southeast Asia's beauty market is growing at an impressive 8% annually, driven by local preferences for skincare and cosmetics. The region remains highly influenced by global beauty trends like K-beauty, but with a local twist.

🌿 Future of Food explored at Dubai's Healthy Innovation Conference 2024 🌎 Signature Products GmbH was happy to participate in Dubai's Healthy Innovation Conference (HiConf) on February 29, 2024. Our CEO Florian Pichlmaier contributed to a discussion on "The Transformation from Meat to Alt-Proteins," highlighting hemp's role as a sustainable, nutritious alternative. 🔬 Alongside experts like Chris Bryant, Tilen Travnik, Patrik Huber and David Yeung, our CEO discussed hemp protein's benefits and its potential to revolutionise our diets. Emphasising sustainability, he showcased how hemp offers a lower water use and carbon footprint compared to traditional protein sources. 🌱 This event was an important meeting point for discussion, forging new connections and thus for the integration of hemp into global food systems. We are inspired by the shared enthusiasm for change and look forward to continuing to advocate for a healthier future with hemp at the forefront.
