Givaudan has released its latest trend report FlavourVision, which reveals five consumer macro trends to help turn market disruption into opportunities for food and beverage.
- Green For Me: Turning to eco-actions that feel personal and relevant.
- Restorative Care: Adopting more intuitive restorative approaches to health.
- Stable Connections: Looking for a sense of stability and continuity, leaning on hyper-local and me-first mindsets.
- Sensorial Renaissance: Wanting to "feel" more and seeking experiences that expand the boundaries of what is expected and possible.
- Augmented Assistance: Looking for proactive and personalized digital tools to help navigate and optimize life.
In addition to gathering data from around the globe, the FlavourVision is said to draw on expertise from world-renowned experts in design, anthropology, futurology, holistic-wellbeing, sustainability and sensorial research.
The macro-trends were then validated and future-proofed with the help of leading experts and futurists from the food and beverage industry.
