Traditionally, sports nutrition products have been focused towards elite level athletes but the market is being transformed by the emergence of regular consumers who are not always interested in sports yet recognise the role that nutrition can play in helping their general health and wellness. With the active and performance nutrition market set to hit 5bn by 2015*, competition in this sector is growing as food and beverage manufacturers look to expand and diversify their product portfolios to profit from the rise in everyday consumers.

In just three weeks time, Fi Conferences' Innovations in Sports Nutrition is bringing together all of those involved in the rapidly expanding market of performance and active nutrition, from manufacturers and ingredient suppliers to consultants and retailers enabling these organisations to understand the direction of the market and the available opportunities.
