Episode 44: What does the future hold for food and drink startups?

Season 2 · Episode 44

Monday, June 29, 2020 • Duration 26:58

On this week’s episode, Mintel analysts sit down to discuss the current food and drink startup landscape. With the global pandemic creating major shifts in consumer behaviours and buying habits, is there still a focus on new experiences when it comes to food and drink or are consumers looking for familiarity and comfort - and how is that playing out across various food and drink sectors, the use of flavours and ingredients, and brand preference? There is no doubt that it is a challenging time for food and drink startups and small businesses, but there are also key opportunities in the short, medium, and long term with consumer behaviour at the core of future potential.

Episode 42: The Black Lives Matter movement: Why consumers want brands to speak out

Season 2 · Episode 42

Wednesday, June 17, 2020 • Duration 28:35

The evolution of the brand-consumer relationship is gaining momentum. Brands ask a lot of consumers, who, increasingly, are demanding more in return. Following the death of George Floyd in May 2020, brands were compelled to make statements admonishing racism and supporting racial justice. However, consumers want more than words. In this episode, Mintel experts in the fields of consumer behaviour, culture, trends, and lifestyles analyse what accountability, authenticity, and honesty mean for today's brand-consumer relationship, how it evolves within cancel culture, and what brands must consider when speaking up. In a world where public image is meticulously crafted, words are good, but action is what's important. If brands can't afford to be static, but can only be reactive for so long, the question remains: what's next? [Disclaimer: This episode was recorded June 12, 20202; since then Starbucks has reversed its decision to allow employees to wear Black Lives Matter apparel.]

What at-home activities are keeping consumers sane during the COVID-19 crisis? How are they prioritising their wellbeing? What trends will linger on post-pandemic? Listen now to find out what trends are shaping consumer behaviour today and what that means for brands moving forward.

Episode 39: Frictionless retail: How brands are removing barriers on the path to purchase

Season 2 · Episode 39

Tuesday, May 26, 2020 • Duration 56:00

In this episode, our retail experts in the US and UK discuss the trend of frictionless retail, the idea of seamless, barrier-free shopping, in both the pre- and post-COVID-19 landscape. Some retailers have gone so far as to develop technology to help consumers completely avoid certain nuisances, for example during the checkout process, in order to create a more enjoyable shopping experience. But is that one step too far, removing too much of the path to purchase that consumers don't get the same purchase satisfaction? As the global COVID-19 pandemic is currently creating an entirely new meaning of frictionless retail, what can retailers and consumers expect next? Listen now!
