Better For You Eating – What Do Consumers Want?
Only 9% of US consumers say there are putting in less effort when it comes to healthy eating. This highlights that most consumers are at least maintaining effort towards wellness, and brands should respond. While wellness terms may be redefined, certain tenets will continue to bear scrutiny: personal health is the primary catalyst of change to eating habits. This means claims and BFY benefits will keep resonating with consumers not only afflicted with specific needs but those looking to avoid them.
BFY Food Industry – Growth Opportunities
While limiting harmful excess and ingredients will always be a part of wellness, allowing indulgence and putting BFY spins on old favorites will resonate more with consumers. It also aligns with modern approaches to health management. Only limiting the “bad” won’t cut it; while curbing excess will always be a part of healthful eating, changing the focus to what you add can fall in line with the changing tune around dieting. Taking the emphasis off of restriction also aligns with mental health – a facet of wellbeing that is being recognized as interconnected with diet and physical wellness.

We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.
It’s mostly me who uses them but if I know someone is working on something specific I will share the relevant reports.
As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.
Andrew Neeson, Market Intelligence Manager, VocaLink
Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.
It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.
Pauline Robson, Managing Partner, Mediacom
“We also 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.”
Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, Wunderman Thompson
Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.
Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.
Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Sr. Marketing Manager, CE, Amazon
“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.”
Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch
