NPD is a structured process that involves creating new, innovative food products or enhancing existing ones to meet evolving consumer preferences within dynamic markets. Options include developing something new from scratch or also enhancing aspects of an existing product such as flavour, portion size and packaging.
The NPD process requires a deep understanding of the marketplace, foresight into future food trends and a detailed approach to testing and quality control.
