(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:13012009

Dublin - Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b0ee87/natural_products_m)
has announced the addition of the "Natural Products Marketplace Review:
The Evolving Natural Lifestyle in the United States 2008" report to
their offering.

The natural products universe includes sales through myriad channels,
both retail and non-retail. This report includes studies of a number of
aspects of the market:

- The evolving "natural lifestyle" and how concerns about climate
change, green living, and sustainability have changed the market - and
the consumer.

- The core of the natural marketplace is the definition of the term
"natural." The report focuses on this debate and the need for
government oversight. Without such supervision, manufacturers,
retailers, and trade associations are working both in tandem and in
opposition to define the market.

- Allergies and insensitivities - to food and to the environment - have
driven more consumers to natural products. The report focuses on the
growth of the gluten-free segment as a way of showing how the needs of
consumers have been translated into an opportunity for manufacturers.

- Attention to healthy eating is a focus of the natural products
consumer. The report looks at the probiotic market and how it overlaps
with the natural market.

- The report also studies the growth of natural herbs and supplements,
and how developments in these products have been driven by changing
consumer needs.
