Description

Explore the latest innovation globally across the sweet and savoury spreads markets in 2021.

In Europe

Permissible indulgence. While indulgence and flavour remain top priorities in the cookies and crackers categories, consumers are increasingly looking for offerings which balance their indulgent cravings with a twist of healthfulness.

In Asia

Health and the environment. Healthy diets are on the consumer radar, and although high protein and added fibre cookie and cracker launches are emerging, variants which feature health cues are hard to find. Meanwhile, brands are slowly responding to consumers’ demands for more sustainable packaging and production.

In the Americas

Flavours and diets. Consumer demand for more adventurous and indulgent flavours is influencing innovation in cookies and crackers. Meanwhile, brands are innovating around consumers’ heightened interest in more diet-friendly recipes.

 

Innovation is focusing on more natural and sustainable credentials, while nutrient-boosted and plant-based recipes are growing in prominence.
