While there are many [frozen burger products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omaha-steaks-smash-burger) that are sold in large bags and boxes that are ideal for putting on the grill to feed a family or the guests of a backyard barbecue, these Solos save single people the trouble of having to unwrap more than one patty at once, as it's fairly standard for two patties to be packaged together, even in a box of four. The Solos are offered in a variety of styles, including the 50/50 Beef & Bacon Patty, the Jalapeño & Pepper Jack Cheese Beef Patty and the vegan and gluten-free [Plant-Based Patty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-praegers-grillhouse-burger) that features the UNCUT meatless alternative. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Individually Packaged Products:** The trend of individually packaged products presents an opportunity for companies to cater to single-person households and provide convenience. - **Customizable Food Options:** The market for customizable food options is growing, providing an opportunity for companies to offer a variety of styles and flavors to cater to different dietary preferences. - **Plant-based Alternatives:** As the demand for vegan and gluten-free options rises, there is an opportunity for companies to develop plant-based alternatives that cater to diverse dietary needs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food Packaging:** The food packaging industry can benefit from the trend of individually packaged products by developing innovative and sustainable packaging solutions. - **Frozen Food:** The frozen food industry can tap into the market for customizable food options by offering a range of pre-portioned and customizable frozen meals. - **Alternative Meat:** The alternative meat industry can capitalize on the growing demand for plant-based alternatives by developing innovative and tasty meatless patty options that cater to various dietary preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quick-Cook Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pound-of-ground-burger-thins.md) - [Branded QSR Beef Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wendys-ground-beef-patties.md) - [Meatless Food-to-Go Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollover-meatfree-burgers.md) - [Stackable Vegan Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-stack-burger.md) - [Single-Serve Plant-Based Entrées](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/single-serve-plant-based-entrees.md) - [Microwavable Vegan Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-burger-patty.md) - [Solo-Friendly Pasta Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-food-collection.md) - [Triple-Cut Beef Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angus-cbp-ground-beef-patties.md) - [Portioned Cauliflower Pizza Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleserve-pizzas.md)
