"Explore emerging trends and territories within real consumer behavior, obtaining actionable and predictive direction to drive winning innovation strategies."
Mikolaj Kaczorowski, Innovation Analyst
The insights in this report draw on Black Swan Data’s social prediction technology to surface detailed opportunity areas, known as Trend Territories, in the US bakery category, based on using AI to analyze millions of consumer conversations.
Think of a Trend Territory as a big-picture view of what consumers are genuinely excited about. Instead of getting lost in thousands of individual online comments, our Innovation Territories algorithm does the hard work for you. It listens to millions of consumer conversations and groups smaller, related topics into larger, more meaningful themes we call Trend Territories.
But it doesn’t stop there. The algorithm is designed to find the signals amongst the noise. It specifically focuses on trends that are either generating a lot of conversation or showing signs of rapid growth. We then analyze each one to rank them by their future potential.
This process gives you a clear and practical roadmap. You’ll see which trends have the momentum to act on right away and which promising ideas you should keep an eye on for future innovation. By looking at conversation volume and growth over the last two years, we provide the expert insight you need to make confident, forward-looking decisions.

We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.
Nick Carroll from their Retail Team was also an excellent panelist, sharing useful and actionable consumer insights. We definitely look forward to working with Mintel again on future projects.
We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.
They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.
There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.
However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.
One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.
We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.
We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.
Our research specialists can answer your questions and recommend the reports that best match your business needs.
