Consumed in nearly 90 percent of all US households and popular with people of all ages, cereal is the country’s top favorite breakfast food. Today, it’s also increasingly enjoyed as a snack, lunch or dinner meal replacement, or ingredient in recipes.
Hybrid products on the rise
As consumers become increasingly adventurous with their food choices, snack products have evolved to include new hybrids and unusual combinations. In line with Innova Market Insights’ number seven trend for 2020, “Hello Hybrids,” highlighting that consumers are highly receptive to hybrid products.
According to the market researcher, there is ample opportunity for blending specific ingredients and category fusions, creating innovative food and beverages as the demand for genuine novelty continues to grow.
Getting “the best of both worlds” through exciting hybrid products has manufacturers looking for new ways to blur boundaries and cross categories to develop products that appeal to consumers who want to explore bolder flavors, novel color combinations and multisensory food experiences.
Meanwhile, coffee flavor trends are still proving to be popular and a taste that never goes out of style. Coffee flavors are seen in confectionery, ice cream and desserts and bakery.
Globally, there is an interest in gourmet foods, often focusing on the provenance of the ingredients, its content in the finished product and the use of upmarket flavors. This also taps into the Top Trends for 2020, “Storytelling.”
