Innovation has declined the most in food and drink versus other industries since 2007, with the rate of new product introductions down nearly 50% since 2007. Despite this decline, certain areas still show potential for innovation. For example, the plant-based market is projected to grow significantly, though it faces challenges related to affordability and broader consumer adoption. Additionally, trends in convenience and healthy aging are driving companies to develop products that meet evolving consumer needs. https://lnkd.in/gefW7Af7 #FoodInnovation #BeverageTrends #FoodTrends #FoodIndustry #NewProductDevelopment

What do you think of this innovation void? I agree with Jo-Ann McArthur that the increased awareness in healthy aging, coupled with longer life span, should trigger the development of new products. #innovation #productinnovation #NewProductDevelopment #foodindustry

Companies are innovating with biodegradable materials and reusable containers, while also focusing on sustainable sourcing and carbon footprint reduction to attract eco-conscious consumers. The West Coast is leading this trend, driven by a health-conscious population and a busy, tech-driven workforce that demands convenient, ready-to-eat options. Government initiatives promoting healthy eating, such as California's programs for access to fresh produce, further boost the market for healthy packaged foods. Key strategies include personalized nutrition through data and technology, expansion into emerging rural and international markets, and collaborations with tech firms, health experts, and environmental organizations to meet evolving consumer demands.

Supermarkets are rewriting the rules, and consumer demands are relentless. The FMCG food world is no longer about playing it safe—it’s about leading the charge or losing the game. 🌱 Sustainable Packaging: Having collaborated extensively with supermarkets worldwide, I’ve navigated the increasing focus on eco-friendly packaging firsthand. Whether it’s working with retail partners to meet stringent waste-reduction targets or spearheading transitions to biodegradable and recyclable materials, aligning with these standards has been a key focus of my career. 🍫 Healthier Snacking: On the product development side, I’ve had the privilege of driving innovation in low-sugar snacks that not only cater to growing health-conscious consumers but also hit the sweet spot (pun intended!) between indulgence and nutrition. Launching products that resonate globally has taught me the importance of balancing taste, health, and compliance with supermarket requirements. These experiences have reinforced a critical lesson: success in FMCG today requires an agile, consumer-centric approach. It’s not just about meeting expectations—it’s about staying ahead of them.
