Food and Beverage Trends: The Fancy Food Show, 2017
In June 2017 we visited New York’s “Fancy Food Show” in order to review
the most interesting innovations in F&B first-hand, and help our clients
find partners and discover opportunities.
This presentation features the trends we believe to be shaping the
food & beverage industry, along with examples from the exhibition’s
products and lectures, which in our opinion best express those trends.

Why is the Fancy Food Show Important?
Schieber Research believes that trends stem from
4 interrelated factors that are constantly changing:
1. Macro-trends, such as urbanization, health and
wellness, digital and convenience;
2. Consumer trends – consumer and shopper
behavior and preferences impacted by macro trends
and market undercurrents, as well as supply;
3. Competitor actions –innovation, market education
and demand creation by best in class, leading
competitors, and
4. Innovators and disruptors – up-and-coming start-
ups and enabling technologies.
The Fancy Food Show can tell us a lot about the
brands of the future that respond to existing needs
and create new demand.

Main Trends | Food as an Experience
Food as an Experience: Millennials’ and Gen-Z’s “experience over stuff” mentality is entering food and
beverages: companies are responding to these venture-seeking consumers with new formats, extraordinary
or out of context ingredients, and Do-It-Yourself, personalized solutions. Digitalization also enables offering a
more compelling experience.
Food as an Experience includes the following micro-trends:
Away from Home,

Around the World
DIY
Storytelling

03
Like a Pro05

01 | Around the World
Products offering exotic ingredients and ethnic flavors that “take you” on
a tour around the world. This global, sometimes extreme experience, is
especially appealing to Millennials and Gen Z consumers who are more
adventure seeking than previous generations. Most popular in Fancy Food
were ethnic flavors and condiments, in addition to spicy additions.
02 | Away from Home, at Home
Recreating away from home (AFH) experiences. For instance; some
popcorn manufacturers at the show said the popcorn boom (a variety
of flavors and packaging formats) may be explained by the rise in binge
watching, i.e., the cinematic experience translates into Netflix and
popcorn. Other examples include products that are generally consumed
out of home, such as cold brew – now offered for at-home consumption,
similar to the rise of the at-home single-cup coffee in the last decade.
03 | Storytelling
Positioning of products as local, artisanal, produced in small batches;
sharing brand history and origin etc. to create an emotional connection to
the brand; selling the story beyond the product.

04 | DIY
Consumers have access to more information than ever before, and
they can - and want to - do things their own way. Personalization and
customization is a way of life in today’s digital world, as is a sense of
control. To top it all, more and more consumers want to feel more
connected to nature. As a result, consumers take interest in kits and do it
yourself solutions, which make them feel empowered and capable.
05 | Like a Pro
Foodie consumers have grown accustomed to interesting, innovative flavors
from out-of-home consumption, and they wish to repeat that experience
with their home cooking. Manufacturers are following suit, with innovative
textures and flavors which give a final touch to the home cooker’s dish,
without much effort.

Main Trends | Better for All
In 2014 we noticed that consumers tended to merge sustainability and wellness considerations, which we dubbed:
Better for All (BFA). Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, Non-GMO and other claims, as well as environmentally friendliness
and fair-trade, are perceived as healthier. Today, BFA emerges as a legit positioning in new sustainable and vegan
products, and seems to be the main engine of product innovation at the Fancy Food exhibition.
Better for All includes the following micro-trends:

Main Trends: Better fo All
01 | Minimally Processed
Raw and unprocessed ingredients that seem minimally processed and offer
“clean eating” are leading health and wellness trends as evident by the Fancy
Food Show.
02 | Plant-Based
Plant-based food and beverages are on the rise, as products concentrate on
nutrient-packed and protein-rich sustainable ingredients. Examples include
peanut and almond butter as the base for snack bars; using ancient grains
in snacks; botanical extracts; and the snackification of fruit and vegetables.
Two notable ingredients in Fancy Food were chickpeas and – still - coconut.
03 | Functional made Personal
Consumers continue to expect specific benefits from food and beverage.
Notable claims at the show were energy, weight management, heart and
bone health, and nutraceuticals which benefit beauty and appearance. Gut
health, specifically pro-biotic and pre-biotic fibers, was also prominent. The
search for better digestive health includes allergen-free products, as people
suffering from gastrointestinal symptoms consider themselves sensitive to
certain ingredients.

Main Trends: Better fo All
04 | Ethical and Sustainable
Consumers try to be more responsible for animal welfare, social rights and
the environment.
05 | Holistic Wellness
Consumers seek a work-life balance, stress-free life, and, above all, joy.
Indulgent products that are natural and “clean label” provide these benefits.

Main Trends | Cross-Category Indulgence
Indulgence, more than a trend, is a prerequisite for other developments and innovations in food: many trends
represent attempts to accommodate the ever-present demand for indulgence while satisfying other needs. Indeed,
today the main challenge food companies face is offering better- for-you products that do not compromise
consumers’ enjoyment and taste.
At the show, a fascinating trend emerged: cross-category indulgence – mixing between formats, flavors and textures,
to create a surprising and novel sensorial experience, translated into indulgence.
Cross-Category Indulgence includes the following micro-trends:
Premium
Surprising Sensorial
Experiences
01

Indulgent Cues
Guilt-free
Indulgence
02
05

01 | Premium
Hand-made, crafted, curated - as well as rare and professional – ingredients
that help differentiate everyday products.
02 | Indulgent Cues
Ingredients such as chocolate and butter (plant based) which suggest a
smooth, rich experience. Textures such as “creamy” and “whipped” also add
indulgent insinuations.
03 | Surprising Sensorial Experiences
Adult consumers search for a compelling consumption experience with an
“out of context” ingredient. Flavor combinations, and unexpected formats
or textures, are included.
04 | Guilt-free Indulgence
Using healthier ingredients in indulgent products – less or no sugar,
functional ingredients, and aerated textures that offer less calories.

"Sunup is a tea-style drink made from unroasted coffee beans. The
taste is unlike any coffee you’ve ever had.
Because we skip the 450° roaster oven, Sunup tastes fresh from
the coffee farm. It has natural antioxidants (chlorogenic acid) and is
an excellent source of caffeine. Not only is it brighter in color and
lighter on your tongue than roasted coffee, but it’s smoother going
down and feels light on your stomach. A simple recipe of only two
ingredients."
