From consumer spending and the hot categories driving growth to the impact of tariffs on the supply chain, inflation, and regulatory changes, the NutraIngredients+ Business Leaders Forum digged into a range of industry issues. The wide-ranging forum featured: Colin Watts, CEO, Thorne; Jim Emme, CEO, NOW; Caroline Carralero, CEO, Daily Nouri; and Scott Woodruff, CEO, Nature’s Way. And there was plenty to discuss:
- How did 2025 measure up to 2024?
- Is MAHA driving significant changes to consumer approaches to health and wellness?
- What are the supplement categories to watch in 2026?
- Where’s the innovation in the industry?
- As tariffs continue to complicate and confuse, which ingredients are posing supply chain challenges?
- What regulatory developments are our business leader keeping an eye on in 2026?
- And what keeps these business leaders up at night?
We got answers to these questions and many more from our stars of C-suite.
The broadcast, exclusively for NutraIngredients+ subscribers, took place on Thursday, January 22 at 11am CT.
