Top food trends in the US
Posted by kathryn in Miscellanea
I recently came across this article on the current top US food trends and it’s an interesting read.
While we do follow many overseas trends, there are strong differences between the US and Australian food industries.
Dining at home is on the rise in the US, because of economic concerns, however we’re in a different economic situation here in Australia, plus we still have so many reasonably priced eating out and take-away options.
I do think we’re catching the US bug for “next generation” drinks. It’s one of the strongest growing markets in the US and I think a lot of those products are going to make their way over here. For example, Enviga will be launched here in July and speciality bottled water sales are up.
I’d like to think there are movements towards eating more local foods, but I suspect that might be my optimistic bias.
What do you think are the current big Australian food trends?
