Factors influencing consumers' perceived healthiness and willingness to use functional drinks in Thailand
Abstract:
The aims of the present study were to determine factors that influence consumers perceived healthiness and willingness to use functional drinks in Thailand. A study was carried out in Bangkok over the period of August to October 2013 to investigate the determinants of functional drink use. The survey canvassed the views of 400 respondents, and the completed questionnaires were subsequently used in the analysis. Data were then analysed by using SPSS using hypotheses created from the models. The results indicated that Thai consumers attitudes towards functional drinks, consumers perceived healthiness of ingredients, and consumers perceived credibility of information source had an influence on the willingness to use functional drinks. In contrast, product health claimed and consumers perceived risk had no influence on the willingness to consume functional drinks. Furthermore, credibility of information sources also significantly correlated with the products health claims.
