The [pop-up grocery store](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-need-to-go-to-the-store-store) doesn't exist yet, but will be open in New York City next year. A group of designers are collaborating with food industry professionals to bring The Future Market to the public. The team conceptualizes the 2065 grocery story to have a digital food ID that informs the retail space of your allergies, preferences and diet requirements. A [touch screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-5) could let you order the items you need; perhaps your produce will come from [hydroponic farms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-salad). The team also imagined fake groceries inside, including Crop Crisps. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Digital Food Identification:** The concept of digital food identification could disrupt the way grocery stores interact with customers in the future, providing personalized service and catering to individual dietary needs. - **Hydroponic Farming:** With the growth of hydroponic farming, the future of grocery stores could see a significant increase in locally sourced and sustainable produce, disrupting traditional supply chains. - **Virtual Grocery Shopping:** Virtual grocery shopping through a touch screen interface could offer convenience and increased accessibility to customers, and could disrupt the brick-and-mortar grocery store experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Retail:** The food retail industry will need to adapt to changing customer needs and technological advances, providing greater convenience, personalization and sustainability. - **Farming:** The farming industry will face pressure to shift towards more sustainable and locally-sourced practices as grocery stores adapt to meet changing consumer preferences and demands. - **Technology:** The technology industry can leverage advancements in AI, touch screens and digital food identification to disrupt the traditional grocery store experience and provide greater personalization and convenience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Free Grocery Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-polymarket.md) - [AI-Powered Supermarkets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-grocery-store.md) - [Hybrid Autonomous Grocery Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nourish-bloom-market.md) - [Leisure Activity Grocery Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshtake-concept-grocery-store.md) - [Frozen-Only Grocery Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosiac.md) - [Hybrid Community Supermarkets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-after-market.md) - [Consumer-Run Supermarkets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperburgers.md) - [Drive-Thru Markets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-grocery-pickup.md) - [Gallery-Style Grocers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meadow-lane.md)
