trends of the USA for 2020-2021. The prime focus remains on the social and cultural
changes that would dominate the industry in the coming months. Here are some of
the key takeaways from the Infographic:
Emphasis on
eco-friendliness
As a global trend, the food industry will also become more
dependable on the eco-friendly manufacturing process. The customer is now more conscious
of their surroundings and will prefer sustainable protocols, redefined food
chain, and urban farming.
Focus on self-care
Besides improving their physical health, the consumer will
now be more focused towards their mental well-being too and would add food
items that would promote relaxation, slow down aging, and improve their quality
of life in their platters. Some examples of such food include leafy greens,
nuts, berries, and yogurt.
A return of fruits
and vegetables
Due to the recent pandemic and the prominence of improving immunity
will lead more consumers towards the fruit and vegetable aisle. If you are
also looking to increase your fruit and vegetable intake, the Infographic contains
a list of items that will give a boost to your immune system.
Taste buds
Interestingly, the research by the Food People indicates a
surge for ‘taste’ and ‘flavorsome’ foods. Japanese cuisine will top the list of
culinary delights for the masses while more preference will be given to foods
with hot sauces.
