Food + Drink's AI Future
Artificial intelligence (AI) in the food and beverage market, worth about $9.7bn in 2024, will ascend to nearly $49bn by 2029 (Mordor Intelligence, 2023). AI is already a creative ally in the realm of taste and flavour development, offering imaginative and health-boosting formulations. Meanwhile, its wider impact on sustainability, wellbeing and convenience also shows tremendous promise.
