Abstract

Overview

Introduction

Messages regarding the potential benefits and risks of certain foods and nutrients are resonating with consumers. This has created a strong trend towards "moderation and avoidance" in food and drink, which is often associated with dieting and the consumption of "better-for-you" food and drinks.

Scope

• Detailed insight and analysis covering healthy eating attitudes and behaviours, especially regarding fat, sugar, salt, carbs and calories.
• Exploring consumer awareness and understanding of different nutrients and a review of the latest literature on nutritional labeling.
• Showcases the latest best-practice product and marketing innovation highlighting just how to capitalize on changing trends in the long-term.
• Strategic conclusions and actions highlighting how manufacturers and retailers should direct resources towards changing trends.

Report Highlights

Well over half of consumers in Europe and America report that they are taking proactive steps to follow a healthy diet. In doing so they are increasingly recognizing that moderating calories, sugar, salt, carbohydrates and saturated fat intake can benefit long-term health.

When Datamonitor asked consumers about the relative importance of cutting back on saturated fats, sugars, salt, processed food, carbohydrates and calorie intake, it was fats that consumers generally placed most importance on reducing. The only exceptions were in Germany and Sweden where cutting back on fat intake was still deemed important.

58% of US respondents stated that they had used nutritional information on product packaging to help make food and drink choices with greater regularity in the previous twelve months in a Datamonitor survey conducted in July 2006. More than a third of respondents in every European country surveyed stated that they had done the same.

• CHAPTER 2 THE FUTURE DECODED
  • Introduction: this report analyzes two important health trends
    • Today' s consumer focuses on both the incorporation of ' good' nutrients' and moderation of ' bad' nutrients
  • TREND: With rising obesity levels, shoppers are becoming more conscious about their food intake
    • The prevalence of obesity in European and US adults and children continues to increase
    • Consumers are monitoring and adjusting what they eat and drink with greater regularity and intensity
      • Awareness of health-related problems associated with obesity means that consumers are taking more self-responsibility
      • Consumers are making conscious attempts to eat and drink more healthily
      • Consumers are trying to avoid or moderate the consumption of many so called ' bad' nutrients/ food groups
      • However, research shows far fewer consumers are actually aware of their daily nutrient and calorie consumption
    • Key takeouts and implications
  • TREND: An increasingly strong appetite for nutritional information is emerging among European and US consumers
    • There is a widespread interest in and usage of nutritional information on food packages
    • Consumers are spending more time checking labels for nutritional advice
    • Situational factors influence propensity to examine nutritional content
    • Consumers have some difficulty interpreting nutritional labels
      • US consumers have been shown to find it difficult to distinguish between portion size and serving size
    • Consumers like the idea of simplified front-of-pack information
      • But shoppers are also critical of overly simplistic information
    • Key takeouts and implications
  • INSIGHT: Eliminating or reducing fat is the most important and frequently practiced dietary approach
    • Fat intake in Europe and the US has been increasing over the last few decades
    • Consumers place most importance on fat moderation
    • Fat content is what global consumers are most likely to check labels for
      • When checking labels, fat is typically the top-of-mind nutrient consideration
    • Females and older consumers are typically more preoccupied with reducing fat consumption
    • Understanding of fats is mixed but is becoming more detailed and sophisticated
      • Consumer awareness of differing fats is relatively high
      • But actual knowledge about the types of fat that should be eliminated from one' s diet is patchy
    • Key takeouts and implications
  • INSIGHT: Calories are treated as an important proxy of nutrient quality
    • Calorie intake is increasing globally
    • Consumer concerns regarding calories are on a par - if not greater - than that shown towards actual nutrients
    • There are notable gender differences in controlling calorie intake
    • Knowledge and awareness of calories is inconsistent
    • Inaccurate self perception of diet is likely to be a contributing factor behind the patchy awareness about personal calorie intake

      • Awareness is not reflected by a deep understanding
      • A lack of understanding may be creating a ' trust void' with consumers
    • Key takeouts and implications
  • INSIGHT: Carbohydrate concerns are generally lower on consumers' agenda
    • Carbohydrate consumption concerns are generally lower especially when compared to the Atkins fad and other nutrients
    • Female and older consumers monitor carb intake more intensively
    • The carbohydrate focus has shifted towards ' positive nutrition' as reflected by expressions like ' good carbs' and ' smart carbs'
    • Key takeouts and implications
  • INSIGHT: Consumers are becoming wary about over-consumption of salt
    • US and UK consumers are most concerned with salt/ sodium reduction
    • Females and older consumers place most importance on salt reduction
    • The growing desire to reduce processed food consumption is linked with concerns over salt intake
