The study, carried out by the Italian office of the FutureBrand network, investigates the impact of new lifestyles - including the restrictions imposed by COVID-19 - on nutrition, and how brands are preparing themselves to meet these new needs.
We studied and analysed the emerging trends connected to food and its consumption, as well as the different global markets, while interviewing industry professionals in Italy and abroad. The result are 5 macro-trends that will affect the industry globally.
The topics analysed by the report were selected with the aim of helping food operators take a comprehensive look at the scenario, not from above, but from within the market, so to be closer to consumers and respond to their new needs efficiently and consistently.
Each macro-trend is supported by examples of innovative projects considered benchmarks worldwide; they show how smart brands are quickly responding to changes.
The journey began in 2020, the year zero for many sectors including the food industry. A year of suspension, but at the same time of change, which required us to stop and reflect on the changes in consumer behaviour and attitude. It is, in fact, a shift capable of guiding the purchasing drivers of the coming years.
