Introducing the Consumer Trends Food & Wellness Special Report 2024
What do Americans say they want to eat? What are they actually eating? A 56-slide special report, just in time for Expo West.
I’m excited to share a new Consumer Trends special(!) report, my latest collaboration with Coefficient Capital.
This latest Consumer Trends report is a 56-slide presentation that you can view and download for free, just in time for Expo West.
It’s the latest in our ongoing Consumer Trends series, which has now generated nine reports. (All of this continues to be inspired, of course, by analyst and investor Mary Meeker’s legendary Internet Trends report.)
- Topics include: Our latest research on food, beverage, and wellness trends, including exclusive data from Instacart.
- How are Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs changing consumption habits for millions of Americans?
- Is “longevity” — and the industry forming around it — about living longer, or more about living better?
- Results from our ninth original Consumer Trends survey of more than 3,000 US consumers, in partnership with Toluna. Sample insight: A quarter of Americans think they aren’t eating enough protein.
I’ll also be exploring many of these topics further for members. And we plan to keep this series going. So if you’re new to The New Consumer, please consider joining as a member.
