    Top Trends for 2020 Reflect Fragmented Consumer Demands

    New Nutrition Business identifies meat snacks as a growth opportunity for the first time, alongside continued interest in plant-based options.

    From cauliflower pizza to beetroot bread, convenient plant-based products are on a strong long-term growth trajectory, according to New Nutrition Business.
     
    At the same time, while people opt for plants due to their natural functionality, they are still consuming meat too. Despite vocal attacks about health and sustainability credentials, which made it look as if the meat category was set for long-term decline, consumption has increased in both the U.S. and in Europe in recent years.
     
    “Consumers’ perception of meat as a tasty and high-quality protein is driving the reinvention of meat and will secure its permanent place on the plate, and as a snack,” said Julian Mellentin, a consultant to the food and beverage industry and author of the report 10 Key Trends in Food, Nutrition and Health 2020. This annual trend analysis identified, for the first time, meat as a growth opportunity alongside plant-based. 
     
    “People want plants, but we’re not all turning into vegans,” said Mellentin. “In a world where consumers hold fragmented beliefs, there’s room for both plants and meat.”
     
    “With plant-based getting all the attention, and meat under attack, creative meat producers are taking steps to reinvent their category, for example with sustainability, provenance and convenience,” he added. For example, U.S. sales of meat snacks grew 6.7% in 2019 to $4.5 billion (IRI).
     
    And Nielsen data shows that meat brands that communicate about provenance, sustainability and animal welfare are growing fast and earning premium prices. U.S. sales of meat with health or environmental claims are growing rapidly, led by “organic” up 13.1% and “grass-fed” up 12.2%.
     
    It's a transformation that will be welcomed by consumers, who love to hear that something they enjoy is also good for them—as happened with red wine and chocolate. And they’re particularly receptive right now to positive messages about meat, said Mellentin, thanks to the influence of other key consumer trends identified in the report, including Protein, Lower-carb and the Rebirth of Fat.
     
    Consuming fewer carbs—which by definition means eating more fat and/or protein, often in the form of meat—is growing in popularity, fueled by diet patterns such as keto. And low-carb eating is now legitimized by science. The American Diabetes Association recommends low-carb eating to fight diabetes and for weight management, and low-carbing is being adopted by doctors in the U.K.
     
    Fear of the ultimate “bad carb”—sugar—is now mainstream. A massive 80% of U.S. consumers say they are limiting or avoiding sugar in their diets, and there are similar levels of concern in Europe and South America.
     
    It's a reflection of the fragmentation of consumer beliefs that, alongside a growing demand for low-carb products, honest indulgence is also a big growth driver: “In the midst of the focus on health and nutrition, let's not forget that most people buy bakery products for pure pleasure,” said Mellentin. “Natural ingredients, Provenance and great taste all matter more than nutrition.”
     
    Many cereals and granolas are discovering that they can gain sales by using inulin in order to offer consumers low-sugar products that also benefit digestive wellness. The Troo Granola brand in the U.K., for example, uses inulin syrup in its products because it serves both as a prebiotic and a sweetener, giving a more appealing taste to consumers while keeping sugar content down.
     
    These twin benefits have caused demand for inulin to surge—the number of products launched that feature inulin doubled between 2012 and 2019.
     
    The 10 Key Trends identified in the report are:
     
    1. Digestive Wellness
    2. Good Carbs, Bad Carbs
    3. Plant-Based
    4. Protein
    5. Sugar—Reinventing Sweetness
    6. Rebirth of Fat
    7. Meat Reimagined
    8. Provenance and Authenticity
    9. Energy 2.0
    10. Mood
     
    And there are four “Mega Trends” that companies in all categories must consider:
     
    1. Naturally Functional
    2. Fragmentation
    3. Snackification
    4. Sustainability
