Consumer experimentation with flavor is on the rise. More than a third of US consumers are trying more flavors than last year, due to an increase in "information, innovation and opportunities...making experimentation more accessible than ever." Trying new flavors is now considered part of everyday life, with consumers actively seeking out unique taste experiences. Brick-and-mortar grocery store inspiration, social media recommendations, and customizable restaurant menus are the most common places consumers discover new flavors. It is important for CPG brands to keep up with the consumer desire for flavor novelty, and to stay on top of sustainable growth trends when planning innovations. Especially considering the new focus consumers are placing on seeking out and trying new offerings. Have you tried a new flavor this year?
