Food and Beverage Trends: The Fancy Food Show, 2017

In June 2017 we visited New York’s “Fancy Food Show” in order to review the most interesting innovations in F&B first-hand, and help our clients find partners and discover opportunities.

This presentation features the trends we believe to be shaping the food & beverage industry, along with examples from the exhibition’s products and lectures, which in our opinion best express those trends.


Why is the Fancy Food Show Important?

Schieber Research believes that trends stem from 4 interrelated factors that are constantly changing:

1. Macro-trends, such as urbanization, health and wellness, digital and convenience;

2. Consumer trends – consumer and shopper behavior and preferences impacted by macro trends and market undercurrents, as well as supply;

3. Competitor actions –innovation, market education and demand creation by best in class, leading competitors, and

4. Innovators and disruptors – up-and-coming start-ups and enabling technologies.

The Fancy Food Show can tell us a lot about the brands of the future that respond to existing needs and create new demand.

Main Trends | Food as an Experience

Food as an Experience: Millennials’ and Gen-Z’s “experience over stuff” mentality is entering food and beverages: companies are responding to these venture-seeking consumers with new formats, extraordinary or out of context ingredients, and Do-It-Yourself, personalized solutions. Digitalization also enables offering a more compelling experience.

Food as an Experience includes the following micro-trends:

Away from Home, at Home

Around the World

DIY

Storytelling0201

Like a Pro05


01 | Around the World Products offering exotic ingredients and ethnic flavors that “take you” on a tour around the world. This global, sometimes extreme experience, is especially appealing to Millennials and Gen Z consumers who are more adventure seeking than previous generations. Most popular in Fancy Food were ethnic flavors and condiments, in addition to spicy additions.

02 | Away from Home, at Home Recreating away from home (AFH) experiences. For instance; some popcorn manufacturers at the show said the popcorn boom (a variety of flavors and packaging formats) may be explained by the rise in binge watching, i.e., the cinematic experience translates into Netflix and popcorn. Other examples include products that are generally consumed out of home, such as cold brew – now offered for at-home consumption, similar to the rise of the at-home single-cup coffee in the last decade.

03 | Storytelling Positioning of products as local, artisanal, produced in small batches; sharing brand history and origin etc. to create an emotional connection to the brand; selling the story beyond the product.

04 | DIYConsumers have access to more information than ever before, and they can - and want to - do things their own way. Personalization and customization is a way of life in today’s digital world, as is a sense of control. To top it all, more and more consumers want to feel more connected to nature. As a result, consumers take interest in kits and do it yourself solutions, which make them feel empowered and capable.

05 | Like a ProFoodie consumers have grown accustomed to interesting, innovative flavors from out-of-home consumption, and they wish to repeat that experience with their home cooking. Manufacturers are following suit, with innovative textures and flavors which give a final touch to the home cooker’s dish, without much effort.


Main Trends | Better for All

In 2014 we noticed that consumers tended to merge sustainability and wellness considerations, which we dubbed: Better for All (BFA). Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, Non-GMO and other claims, as well as environmentally friendliness and fair-trade, are perceived as healthier. Today, BFA emerges as a legit positioning in new sustainable and vegan products, and seems to be the main engine of product innovation at the Fancy Food exhibition.

Better for All includes the following micro-trends:

Main Trends: Better fo All

01 | Minimally ProcessedRaw and unprocessed ingredients that seem minimally processed and offer “clean eating” are leading health and wellness trends as evident by the Fancy Food Show.

02 | Plant-BasedPlant-based food and beverages are on the rise, as products concentrate on nutrient-packed and protein-rich sustainable ingredients. Examples include peanut and almond butter as the base for snack bars; using ancient grains in snacks; botanical extracts; and the snackification of fruit and vegetables. Two notable ingredients in Fancy Food were chickpeas and – still - coconut.

03 | Functional made PersonalConsumers continue to expect specific benefits from food and beverage. Notable claims at the show were energy, weight management, heart and bone health, and nutraceuticals which benefit beauty and appearance. Gut health, specifically pro-biotic and pre-biotic fibers, was also prominent. The search for better digestive health includes allergen-free products, as people suffering from gastrointestinal symptoms consider themselves sensitive to certain ingredients.


Main Trends: Better fo All

04 | Ethical and Sustainable Consumers try to be more responsible for animal welfare, social rights and the environment.

05 | Holistic WellnessConsumers seek a work-life balance, stress-free life, and, above all, joy. Indulgent products that are natural and “clean label” provide these benefits.


Main Trends | Cross-Category Indulgence

Indulgence, more than a trend, is a prerequisite for other developments and innovations in food: many trends represent attempts to accommodate the ever-present demand for indulgence while satisfying other needs. Indeed, today the main challenge food companies face is offering better- for-you products that do not compromise consumers’ enjoyment and taste.At the show, a fascinating trend emerged: cross-category indulgence – mixing between formats, flavors and textures, to create a surprising and novel sensorial experience, translated into indulgence.

Cross-Category Indulgence includes the following micro-trends:

01 | Premium Hand-made, crafted, curated - as well as rare and professional – ingredients that help differentiate everyday products.

02 | Indulgent CuesIngredients such as chocolate and butter (plant based) which suggest a smooth, rich experience. Textures such as “creamy” and “whipped” also add indulgent insinuations.

03 | Surprising Sensorial ExperiencesAdult consumers search for a compelling consumption experience with an “out of context” ingredient. Flavor combinations, and unexpected formats or textures, are included.

04 | Guilt-free IndulgenceUsing healthier ingredients in indulgent products – less or no sugar, functional ingredients, and aerated textures that offer less calories.
