OPTIMISED NUTRITION REPORTDriving Factors and Overlapping Trends
Convenience culture is the catch all term that represents the consumer disposition towards agility and convenience, running through all aspects of life from food and beverage, to beauty and lifestyle. In 2025, the demand for convenient, portable food and beverage options continue to rise, reflecting consumers’ fast-paced lifestyles. But consumers are now expecting more from there convenience product choices than ever before.
Modern consumers now seek products that offer both convenience and nutritional value, leading to a surge in on-the-go formats such as grab-and-go breakfasts, single-serving shortcuts and quality ready meals. Over half (53%) of Americans admit to strugglingly with deciding what to eat and would regularly buy from brands that help them plan meals (Deloitte, 2024), opening the door for brands to offer quality and nutritious options that can be eaten on the go, or used as a simple meal option.
Globally, 61% of consumers are feeling overwhelmed and therefore are pin pointing focus on brands that are specifically targeting their personal concerns. Brands who are cutting through the noise are targeting specific demographics and concerns. The variety of these are also increasing, with growing number of products targeted towards kids or the elderly, the price-conscious or those looking to splash.
As global demographics are shifting, product solutions are shifting. For example; the older generation are looking to ‘slow down the clock’ and live well for longer. Meanwhile, parents are looking to ensure healthy starts for their youngsters, as we increase understanding around the importance of those early years.
Premiumisation in the food and beverage industry reflects a growing consumer desire for higher-quality, more meaningful products. This trend is driven by a willingness to pay more for items that offer superior taste, craftsmanship, provenance and added health and sustainability benefits.
Notably, a YouGov survey found that 53% of consumers are willing to pay up to 10% more for sustainable versions of packaged food and drinks , highlighting the value placed on premium, environmentally friendly, or added-benefit options.
