By 2030, Asia is forecast to contribute 60% of global economic growth.

At present, Asia is home to 4.7 billion people, equivalent to 60% of the world’s population, and is forecast to grow to 5.3 billion people by 2055.

The world economy is expected to add 2.4 billion new members to its ever-growing middle-class, of which 90% will come from Asia Pacific.

This will result in a correlating growth in food and drink consumption, with Asian consumers expected to double their spending on food by 2030, presenting tangible growth opportunities for UK food and drink brands.
