Food & Drink Futures

Total Tastes

Overview

In 2020, the food and drink sector has continued to evolve at a rapid rate. Covid-19 has transformed our diets, from the way food is produced to the way it is accessed, consumed and shared. In addition to highlighting the vulnerabilities of the global food system, the pandemic has, in many ways, humanised how we view food and drink.

In this report, we examine the growing demand for digital eating and drinking experiences amid the rise of Augmented Restaurants, Virtual Happy Hours and Media Kitchens. Meanwhile, health and sustainability remain key business imperatives, as exemplified by Eco To Go and On-demand Farms.

Building on these shifts, we also introduce our latest food and drink macrotrend, Total Tastes, which explores how the image of health is changing as the food-as-medicine movement evolves to fit modern lifestyles. As our appetites become more holistic, we are reaching new levels of understanding about how diet affects our mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.
