HIRE DUNCAN AS YOUR FOOD AND BEVERAGE KEYNOTE SPEAKER
The global food and beverage industry includes companies that manufacture processed and packaged foods, beverages, and other goods. The industry is highly fragmented with many small companies competing with major multinational corporations such as Nestle SA and PepsiCo Inc. Due to the high level of competition in the industry, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates all food and beverage products to ensure quality, safety, and truth in labeling. Although the FDA only has jurisdiction within the United States, most other countries have similar agencies that are responsible for regulating food processing companies.
The global food and beverage industry is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.65% over the next three years, reaching $2.5 trillion in revenue by 2023. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for nearly 40% of the industry’s total revenue, followed by Europe (19%), North America (13%), and the rest of the world (23%). This geographic revenue distribution is expected to remain relatively stable over the next three years.
The industry is very competitive, with many small food and beverage manufacturers competing with large multinational corporations. Most of these companies have a product or brand name that consumers recognize and trust for its quality and safety. Around the world, there are many food and beverage conferences including the International Association of Food Science and Technology (IAFoST) World Nutrition Conference & Expo, and the China Food Tech Summit. These meetings provide opportunities for food and beverage manufacturers to meet face-to-face with suppliers, collaborators, investors, industry leaders, and others in the global food and beverage supply chain.
It also offers people who work in the food and beverage industry to experience some great keynote speakers. Duncan Stevens is one such speaker and his inspiring and motivational keynotes are always a great hit wherever they are held and help companies, brands, teams and leaders become more persuasive and effective.
