All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Ginger is distinctive in its unique peppery, sweet flavor and spicy aroma. It is a common flavoring ingredient in Indian cooking and Southeast Asian cuisines and has become a characteristic flavor in classic American dishes. The main bioactive compound in ginger is gingerol, a substance that is responsible for much of the purported medicinal properties in ginger. It is associated with a range of therapeutic purposes, including the relief of various digestive issues and nausea, as well as aiding in the relief of pain and inflammation, supporting cardiovascular health, and potentially even lowering the risk of cancer.

The ginger ingredient insights report explores an ingredient that boasts wellness benefits and offers multisensory appeal.

What are the innovation opportunities for ginger across different product categories?

The innovation opportunities for ginger across different product categories are as follows:

Food

Ginger taps into several rising food trends, from attentiveness to health-promoting ingredients, to the desire for comfort, and the pursuit of authenticity.

Non-alcoholic drinks

The versatility of ginger lends itself to a range of appealing drink offerings. Its ability to complement a variety of flavors is broadening its utility well beyond functional drinks.

Alcoholic drinks

Interest in ginger is expanding beyond beer and ready-to-drink spirits. The craft cocktail movement is creating new opportunities to leverage ginger’s spicy kick.

Personal care

The medicinal properties of ginger are highly valued in personal care formulations. However, it is now playing a more prominent role as the primary active ingredient.

Household Care

Ginger currently plays a supporting and aroma-focused role in household care products. Still, its therapeutic connotations can be leveraged to promote home wellness.

Pet care

The health benefits of ginger can also apply to household pets when consumed in certain quantities and formats. Holistic pet wellness is a key area of potential for this ingredient.

Tobacco & e-cigarettes

The distinctive flavor and aroma of ginger are particularly suited to e-cigarette novelty seekers. It potentially offers a more mature alternative to the sweeter staples.

What are the consumer trends of incorporating ginger into product formulations?

The consumer trends of incorporating ginger into product formulations are as follows:

Wellbeing

As consumers embrace a more holistic approach to health, they recognize that well-being is more than just about diet and exercise. The wellness-oriented merits of the occasional indulgence are valued, making “mindful indulgences” the new goal for many brands.

Added Functionality

Consumers are paying more attention to the specific role that ingredients play in addressing health needs. At the same time, they recognize the merits of natural formulations. “Naturally functional” ingredients sit at a crucial intersection of these needs.

Novel & Experimental

Consumers are inherently curious, and in an era of immediate gratification, constantly seek new ways to indulge and have fun. Ingredients that offer multisensory enjoyment and a new take on the familiar are particularly appealing.

Fresh & Natural

Natural claims are among the most appealing as consumers prioritize health, safety, and sustainability. However, they are holding such claims up to a higher standard and expect brands to support natural positioning with sufficient and credible evidence.

Cross-Cultural Influence

The ease with which ideas and innovation can be shared across borders is shaping new consumer demands and expectations. Consumers are increasingly inspired by other cultures and seek to replicate their experiences through travel, food, and connection.

“The GlobalData platform is our go-to tool for intelligence services. GlobalData provides an easy way to access comprehensive intelligence data around multiple sectors, which essentially makes it a one-for-all intelligence platform, for tendering and approaching customers.

GlobalData is very customer orientated, with a high degree of personalised services, which benefits everyday use. The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
