Edible coffee cups, fancy baby food and CBD energy drinks on the rise
Americans will eat less fast food in 2020 with demand for accessibly priced, better-for-you options on the rise.
Nielsen surveyed 19,988 Americans for its “How America Will Eat” 2020 food trend forecast report and found that 49 percent made healthier eating choices in 2019. But consumers are not eating as well as they would like to. While almost all of U.S. households surveyed (99 percent) purchased a low-fat food or beverage item in the past year, they're only buying them twice a month, leaving white space in the category for manufacturers to put out more affordable options.
There's clearly a demand for fresh versus processed and frozen. Food companies saw major growth from fresh foods ($4.6 billion), organic options ($925 million) and ingredients that support plant-based diets ($982 million), according to Nilsen data.
