Key Findings

Packaged food remains on track despite pandemic

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and despite major transformations in its economic and consumer mechanisms, packaged food’s resilience should still be evident in the forecast period. Food businesses will still need to pivot and gain agility.

Food retail to shift further to digital channels

Investing in seamless food ordering and home delivery can help create new impulse food shopping patterns. Whatever the model adopted, e-commerce is largely unavoidable for a food producer and will invite strategic, often local, partnerships.

Home as a haven of eating occasions

As our homes have turned into flexible living environments, food brand owners have various eating occasions to cater to around work, schooling, exercising or streaming. Home cooking and baking will to some degree endure partly as a way of saving money.

Sustainability goals become all-encompassing

The sanitary crisis has put more urgency on governments globally to tackle climate change and food insecurity. Food producers can anticipate and will need to align with these policies. Plant-based meat and dairy as well as cultured proteins can contribute to reducing carbon emissions.

Food for physical and mental resilience

Immune health as well as mental wellbeing have risen in importance in consumers’ minds when it comes to choosing food products. Greater awareness of how various food ingredients can help can be leveraged not only in fresh food and dairy but also increasingly in snacks.
