Your grandma’s shopping cart looks very different than yours: How can you capture your target generation and support them in their healthy-eating food choices?

Healthy eating has steadily grown among consumers in recent years. A global pandemic has additionally impacted, and sped up, the interest for ‘healthy foods’. What constitutes as ‘healthy’, however, varies from consumer-to-consumer and more importantly, from generation-to-generation. The need to better understand different attitudes towards health is pivotal as food manufacturers are aiming to best serve their target audiences.

Barry Callebaut’s innovation is fueled by a deep understanding of lifestyle and target audience needs. That’s why we are excited to introduce our dairy-free compounds. We are committed to the market momentum around dairy-free and plant-based living of the Gen Z and Gen Y generations!

Barry Callebaut has taken a closer look at four relevant target generations:

 

Generation Table
Generation Z Health

Better For You

Identifying the needs of consumers is pivotal during Barry Callebaut’s innovation work. We aim to understand the needs of consumer groups to best serve today’s and tomorrow’s consumers in the health & wellness space. Our comprehensive “Better For You”-portfolio offers solutions for consumers of any age and allows our customers to develop solutions specifically tailored to the age group they serve.

The continued exploration of consumer needs and views has fueled our plant-based innovation work. Plant-based food is more than hype, it is a trend that is here to stay. Dairy-free compound is our latest portfolio addition to better serve the retail shelves of the future.

Millennials have been shaping the food industry in recent years and we continue to learn more about Gen Z. 

Our “Better For You” portfolio is a reflection of Barry Callebaut’s deep understanding of consumer needs. Plant-based nutrition plays a critical role in Gen Z’s and Gen Y’s food choices. Plant-based, and particularly dairy-free, consumption has become a lifestyle.

That’s why we are excited to offer an even wider Plantcraft range. Dairy-free Compound joins our already existing plant-based solutions of dairy-free chocolate, non-dairy nuts and cocoa powder, and cacaofruit experience.

You can find our full range of “Better For You” products and generations consumer insights below.
