As we enter the eighth year of our “Top Trends in Fresh” series, we see how the past five years have brought us to a pivotal moment in fresh foods. We dive deep into the evolution of shopping patterns and sales trends before and during the pandemic. We also explore the ways consumers have solved food needs during the past two years of inflation.
Experts from Circana and FMI will reveal growth opportunities by understanding today’s top trends, instead of waiting for behavior to return to pre-pandemic times.
