Sesame Alternative

Sesame seeds become the next popular alternative in dairy products

Trend - An emerging alternative within the industry that produces imitation dairy products is the sesame seed, which can be transformed into a milk-like substance. Such products come as consumers continue to value choice in the dairy products or alternatives they consume--meeting the needs of consumers' various dietary restrictions while simultaneously valuing quality.

Insight - Where once consumers’ dietary restrictions left them with limited options in the food and beverage space, greater diversity in people’s chosen diets has resulted in a growing demand for brands to accommodate a range of needs and preferences. Consumers are constantly seeking out emerging ingredients that they can accommodate into their health-related goals, and the expectation is now that brands are able to offer them enough choice that they can customize their diets to their own specific needs and preferences.
Workshop Question - How could your brand prioritize diversity of choice within its offerings?
Trend Themes
1. Sesame Seed Alternative - Sesame seeds are the next popular alternative in the dairy industry that produces imitation dairy products.
2. Plant-based Milk Alternatives - The demand for plant-based milk alternatives is continually growing as consumers look for unique tastes and textures that offer better-for-you nutritional values.
3. Customized Diets - Consumers are now seeking out emerging ingredients that can be customized into their health-related goals and are looking for brands to accommodate a range of dietary restrictions.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage Industry - The food and beverage industry can benefit from developing products that cater to the growing demand for sesame seed-based and plant-based milk alternatives.
2. Health and Wellness Industry - The health and wellness industry can take advantage of the trend of customized diets by offering products that meet the needs of consumers' specific dietary restrictions and preferences.
3. Global Coffee Industry - The global coffee industry can benefit from introducing new flavors and ingredients to their beverages, such as the black sesame seed and pistachio milk options.
