Trends driving a
category in transition
1. Burgers top handheld sales
$90.57 billion were spent on burgers in 2016, according
to Technomic, representing 44% of total sandwich
sales.
2. Trending toppings
Trending ingredients often debut in burgers before
moving to other parts of the menu, said global
consumer research firm Datassential.
3. Ideal for experimentation
Burgers are the ideal platform for safe experimentation,
with consumers willing to take more flavor risks on a
lower price point item, according to Datassential.
4. Picking proteins
The proteins growing in popularity over the past four
years include salmon, lamb, black beans and bison,
according to Datassential.
5. Bison in demand
Research firm Mintel found that 34% of consumers
want to see more bison burgers on menus.
6. Acceptable attributes
Responsibly raised meat is gaining traction on menus.
Mintel found that 79% of consumers surveyed believe
grass-fed beef is higher quality than regular beef.
7. Snacking on sliders
Datassential said 63% of consumers were interested
in mini-burgers, while 60% were interested in stuffed
burgers.
8. Burgers for breakfast
The trend to "put an egg on it" continues to grow
according to Datassential, with 45% of consumers
interested in trying a breakfast burger.
9. Butcher-free burger
Meat produced in a lab is on the horizon. Memphis
Meats is working to become the first company to sell
cultured beef at retail.
10. Going plant-based
Meat-free offerings are in demand, with companies like
Beyond Meat focused on the alternative protein market.
Plant-based
trending?
Think again,
says NPD
Plant-based protein may seem all the rage in new
product development, but the market for dairy and
meat alternatives remains niche, said The NPD
Group. Only 1% of the population claims to follow a
vegan or vegetarian diet, and 8%, or about 27 million
Americans, identify as flexible vegetarians, or mainly
vegetarian with some exceptions.
Consumption of dairy alternatives has grown to
21 annual eatings per capita in 2016, up from 19 in
2013, according to The NPD Group. But consumption of plant-based meat alternatives has declined to
three annual eatings per capita in 2016 from five in
2013. Comparatively, the average person eats centerof-plate meat 73 times a year and consumes milk 117
times annually.
"Plant-based dairy and meat alternatives may not
appeal to everyone, but today's consumers are taking a personal approach in their pursuit of a healthy
lifestyle, and plant-based alternatives are among the
many choices at their disposal," said David Portalatin,
vice-president and food industry analyst at The NPD
Group and author of "Eating Patterns in America."
"Expanding consumer choice and empowering them
to craft their own path may provide growth opportunities for manufacturers and retailers in this space."
