Speed to Market: a Growing Focus in the Industry

Consumers have increasingly become more health-conscious and are constantly looking for curative and preventative healthcare products. According to Mintel, 44% of adults in the US agree they are always looking for ways to improve their health.

For manufacturers, this implies the need to quickly bring to the market solutions that meet these growing consumer needs. In the nutraceutical segment, the increase in product offerings and players in the marketplace raises the importance of speed to market. In the case of pharmaceuticals, since product development is more complex, constant expert support is highly required.

Global vitamin and dietary supplements product launches increased by 26.3% in 2020 compared with 2019.

Technological Innovation has Changed the Way of Working

As technology developed, the use of digital tools and platforms in the workplace became increasingly common. The Covid-19 outbreak further drove the need to collaborate virtually and demonstrated that technology was capable of making communication more seamless than ever before.

But how do you accelerate product innovation in an increasingly virtually connected world?

 

Introducing VIVID: Sensient’s Virtual, Real-Time Product Development Platform
