However, label claims such as high protein, organic, and no added sugar are also growing as consumers increasingly view food as medicine. Generally, health claims have become increasingly important to global consumers, with 43% of respondents from Euromonitor International’s Lifestyles Survey (2022), paying close attention to nutritional information and labelling, highlighting the significance of clear labels and messaging.
Many consumers globally are staying at home more often and adopting a hybrid lifestyle, with a strong shift towards a flexible pattern of eating at times that are convenient, bringing about a wave of changes in pack sizes and product formats. In Canada, Snack’rs cubes and Squeak’rs cheese curds formats were launched to reinvent cheese as a convenient option for school lunches, or to add to local culinary delights such as poutine.
As consumers around the world try to reduce their expenses due to the rising cost of living, dairy products are increasingly positioned for elevated consumption and cooking occasions at home, as consumers try to cut costs by recreating meal experiences at home instead of frequenting foodservice outlets.
Furthermore, COVID-19 has accelerated the health and wellness trend, as global consumers have become more conscious about wellbeing and building good eating habits, which are key drivers of growth for dairy. As self-care has become more pronounced post-pandemic, “better for you” products have been an overriding trend across packaged food, as consumers seek to enjoy food and feel good about themselves without the guilt. As health and wellness takes precedence, industry leaders are trying to evolve and meet changing consumer preferences without compromising on taste despite cost pressures. Consumers are increasingly looking for snack choices to be nutrient-dense, serving additional health benefits, rather than just being a filler option between meals. This has led to the stronger popularity of dairy products such as yoghurt and sour milk products as a healthy addition to consumers’ diets.
