CHICAGO—The NPD Group released its new report, “A Look into The Future of Eating,” which forecasts “better for you” foods, such as organic and light or low-calorie foods and beverages, will be among the fastest-growing food trends over the next decade.
Restaurant meals eaten at home and appetizers eaten as in-home main meals also are expected to be among the fastest-growing food trends.
The report provides a 10-year forecast of eating trends based on generational influences, population and trend momentum, and covers a broad spectrum of food and beverage categories, preparation methods, meal situations and other food-related behaviors.
