NRA 2026: Taste and Health Claims Proliferate but Value Remains Key
23 Jun 26Affordability is the biggest question on everyone’s mind. As of mid-2026, inflationary pressures persist, consumers are unhappy, birth rates are low, and tourism to the US has plummeted. The US-Iran war has become a months-long global oil shock that has yet to fully trickle down through the global supply chain. Many consumers are struggling; those who can afford to are seeking out permissible indulgences. The National Restaurant Association (NRA) show saw the results of these drivers on display, as manufacturers look to eke out what profits they can in difficult economic circumstances.

10 Jun 26Asia Pacific’s bakery market is entering a more dynamic phase. The biggest opportunity will not come from trying to make bakery a daily staple in rice- and noodle-led diets, where retail volume consumption of bread is only a third that of rice in Asia.

Online Assortment Reshaping E-commerce Performance in Sauces, Dips and Condiments
26 May 26This article explores how online assortment strategies are reshaping e-commerce performance in US sauces, dips and condiments. Using Euromonitor’s Passport E-commerce and Via SKU tracking data, it shows that many leading retailers achieved strong sales growth while reducing SKU counts, highlighting a shift from range expansion towards more focused, higher-performing assortments. The analysis also reveals growing emphasis on affordability, with retailers such as Walmart, Target and Kroger lowering the share of products priced above USD5. The findings suggest that successful e-commerce strategies increasingly depend on careful assortment curation, value positioning and balancing consumer choice with profitability in a price-sensitive environment.
