Lesley Stevenson, Nutrition Science Manager at Fonterra, follows on suggesting that 'we will continue to see growth through expansion of niche categories into the mainstream and the crossover of existing categories - such as weight management moving into sports nutrition, or healthy ageing consumers looking for active nutrition solutions to meet their health goals'.
