Mintel expands work in wellness category with new hire. UK - Market intelligence and research agency Mintel has appointed Claire Tassin to the newly created role of wellness principal strategist.

APAC consumers drive rise in intentional sensory food and drink formats

APAC consumers drive rise in intentional sensory food and drink formats. China, Thailand and South Korea show demand for sensory-led consumption. Consumers across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region are increasingly seeking foods and beverages designed with intentional sensory elements, according to Mintel's 2026 Global Food & Drink Predictions. About 43% of South Koreans purchased snacks for mood support, whilst 79% of Chinese sparkling drink consumers found bubble sounds relaxing, the report said. The report highlights a Chinese soda that releases a stronger aroma through a wider-rimmed can and another Thai beverage which prints upside-down motivational messages requiring users to rotate their cans, intensifying sensory impact. Mintel notes that sensory-driven formats align with the needs of specific consumer groups, including elderly individuals requiring softer textures, neurodiverse consumers with sensitivities to certain aromas or visuals, and GLP-1 medication users seeking satisfaction in smaller portions. By 2030, Mintel expects sensory features beyond taste to be used more pragmatically across APAC. The report forecasts greater use of texture-rich snacks, aroma-forward packaging and smaller portion formats designed to provide emotional balance and functional benefits in everyday consumption.
