Meet today’s ever-changing and individual consumer needs

Global changes are reinventing the way we live and work. Digitalisation, urbanisation, a growing middle class and faster, more on-the-go lifestyles are just some of the megatrendsdramaticallyaffectingthefoodandbeverageindustryall over the world.

By 2030, the world’s population is expected to grow by more than a billion, bringing the global total to over eight billion. And by 2050, it’s projected that more than two thirds of the world will live in urban areas. With shifting demographics and rapid urbanisation, consumers are increasingly living more on-the-go lifestyles, which is impacting the way they consume products.

Food and beverage producers are now striving to keep pace with new global challenges to create more innovative, sustainable and differentiated products.

A NEW ERA OF CONSUMER DEMANDS Today’s on-the-go consumers are more demanding from the products they buy. They are seeking high-quality, authentic and convenient packaging solutions that are easy to use, enhance their experience and reduce their impact on the environment.

Consumers are now looking for more than just standard products. They want individualism and are no longer driven purely by price but by the promise of better health, quality and experience. This means consumers, particularly Millennials, are seeking products that specificallymeettheirneedsandarewillingtopayapremium for value-generatingproductswithtruebenefits.

Modern, honest and healthy-minded products that address individual needs are therefore high in demand. But they need to be convenient and easy to consume – anywhere and anytime.
