Industry Experts
“The perimeter is the store’s heart and you can feel the retailer’s brand image beating as you walk through the departments. It also houses some of the industry’s most important brands and unique foods. And if you want to understand consumer trends, this is the place to start.”
"Dairy, the largest food and beverage aisle in the store, is undergoing a renaissance. As consumers weigh and better understand the numerous benefits dairy brings to the table, they are increasingly incorporating these nutritious and versatile products to their everyday lives. Calcium, protein, vitamins and pre/probiotics are some of the key benefits dairy provides, along with an increasing number of lactose-free options."
"Modern consumers are more complex than ever. They are making purchasing decisions based on many dimensions of value, including convenience, experience, and what fits in their lifestyle or the particular focus on that shopping trip or meal. Fresh foods are now found across all segments of retail and food service, but an 'insights chasm' still exists between CPG and fresh. Circana bridges that gap to unlock unprecedented growth strategies for our clients."
"The dairy market is rapidly evolving from a shift in consumer preference toward dairy for protein and product innovation. Expansion into new forms and flavors, increased excitement through limited time offerings, and a focus on consumer health and well-being are fueling growth in this large and important aisle."
Melissa Rodriguez
Vice President, Perimeter
“Consumers continue to engage with eating habits that drive protein, associating protein as a power nutrient supporting a healthy lifestyle. Diets like keto, carnivore, paleo, etc., are fueling sales in pure protein forms.
Protein claims are popping up in nearly every category within the store. More convenient offerings are appearing on shelves, growing the appeal for consumers looking to save time and make meal prep easier.”
