Trend 1: Plant Power

• Plant-based ingredients are taking center stage, as


consumers increasingly turn away from animal
products including meat and dairy.
What? • Although just a small proportion follow a vegan
diet, many are adopting low meat diets higher in
plant protein sources.

• Consumers are cutting out animal products for a


myriad of reasons including health, sustainability,
cost and ethics.
Why? • Veganism has become “trendy” thanks to wellness
bloggers, celebrity fans, and movements such as
“Veganuary.”

• Capitalize on demand by offering products either


entirely vegan, or with a higher proportion of
So plant-based ingredients.
what? • Promote products using terms such as “plant-
based” on pack to entice consumers and create a
healthier halo.

Trend 2: “Right for Me”

• Tailoring products towards the specific needs of


different consumer groups.
What? • Products can be targeted not just towards
demographics (e.g. age, gender), but also more
specific health and lifestyle needs.

• One size does not fit all – consumers want to feel


that the food they buy is designed for their own
needs.
Why?
• A more personalized approach can help entice
today’s time-poor consumer and simplify the
decision-making process.

• Move beyond demographics to target specific


consumer lifestyle and health needs to make your
So product feel more “right” for the consumer.
what? • Allergen-free, functional benefits, diet and fitness
are just some of the ways foods can be better
tailored to consumer needs.

Trend 3: Keep It Authentic

• In today’s globalized world where brands and


products are increasingly seen as homogenized;
craft and artisan food products are in demand.
What? • They are often perceived as higher quality, “real”
and supporting local and independent brands
associated with them.

• Consumers are becoming used to shrewdly crafted


marketing messages and artificial experiences, and
so the quest for authenticity is gaining traction.
Why? • Desire for unique products and experiences made
“close to home” presents a counter trend to
globalization.

• Ensuring that the heritage and purpose of the


brand is woven throughout the product and brand
So story is essential to convey authenticity.
what? • Brands must also ensure that they balance
innovation with authenticity and stay true to their
heritage.

Trend 4: Make it Sustainable

• Awareness of the environmental damage caused


by consumption at both a consumer and
What? government level is growing.
• Brands are under pressure to place environmental
responsibility at the heart of their proposition.

• Self-regulation has failed to "move the needle" on


key sustainability issues.
Why? • Plastic pollution in particular hit the media
spotlight in 2018 empowering consumers and
government to take action and re-evaluate their
approach to sustainability as a whole.

• FMCG companies must prepare for the likelihood of


increased government regulation of specific products
So and packaging materials in future.
what? • Sustainability will be an increasingly important
determiner of purchase for consumers. Brands will be
expected to integrate this into their product offer.
