Times have changed. In the face of global economic challenges, the average consumer’s eating habits have evolved. Over 50% of consumers have changed their eating habits in the past 2 years, and traditional mealtimes like breakfast, lunch, and dinner are quickly becoming obsolete.

As consumer behavior shifts away from 3 square meals a day, clear trends have begun to emerge. Full meals are now reserved for sharing and connection with others. With everyone snacking throughout the day, nearly 40% of consumers prioritize consuming healthy snacks.

The data goes on to show that consumers still indulge when they can, with nearly 25% of consumers confirming they still appreciate a sweet snack. In fact, those indulgences are the same snacks that 30% of consumers share the most with friends and family.

These emerging trends are just a brief look into our latest consumer behavior deep dive. Take a look at our ‘Snack is The New Black’ presentation to access, among other things:
