Trend Themes
1. Deconstructed Cuisine - Continued experimentation with taking apart classic dishes and finding new ways to present their components benefits food and beverage brands who can use it to create novel, signature dishes.
2. Premium Ingredients - Demand for high-quality ingredients will stay high following the coronavirus pandemic, highlighting opportunities for food and beverage companies to innovate and differentiate themselves by offering superior ingredients and making customers feel pampered.
3. Mexican Cuisine-inspired Salads - Emerging trends show that consumers are increasingly interested in vegetarian food options as they look to reduce their meat consumption, providing food and beverage brands with a chance to create and promote “plant-based” items that are inspired by ethnic foods.
Industry Implications
1. Fast Food - The fast food industry can take advantage of offering healthier, convenient options by experimenting with deconstructing traditional dishes and using premium ingredients to set themselves apart.
2. Food Delivery - As more people are eating at home than ever, food delivery companies should focus on offering premium quality products with unique innovation, as consumers are looking for interesting moments in their day-to-day delivery meals.
3. Vegetarian Foods - Vegetarian foods have been experiencing exponential growth and food brands could benefit by providing more plant-based options that lean on traditional ethnic flavor profiles in order to reach a wider audience of health-conscious, international-loving customers.
