The global Health and Wellness sector within the Food & Beverage industry is thriving as consumers feast on clean and healthy products in the pursuit of a more holistic approach to diet and nutrition. Changing consumer preferences and a favorable regulatory climate are stimulating demand for wholesome products which, in turn, is fueling an active M&A market. Healthful brands are on the menu as buyers look to accelerate market penetration and growth, with Hershey, Campbell Soup Company, Conagra Brands, and Keurig Dr Pepper among the large food and beverage companies to recently complete transactions in the space.
