So it’s not surprising to me that a new survey suggests people aged 25 to 34 are the ones most likely to bake at home these days. Indeed, while 40% of this age bracket said they cooked from scratch once a week, only a third of the over-65s said they had baked from scratch in the past year.

Daily Mail: One in five over-65s drink every day – far more than young adults who have ‘more sensible’ drinking habits. While public perception has often focused on drinking issues among the young, a new report reveals that alcoholism among older people is an increasing concern. The study, by consumer analysts Mintel, found the over 65s were much more likely to be drinking every day than those aged between 18 and 24.

The Times: Over-65s most likely to drink at home every day. The study was conducted by Mintel, the consumer analyst, which examines the market for the drinks, retail and hospitality industry. Jonny Forsyth, Mintel’s global drinks analyst, said that those now in retirement were brought up to believe drinking every day was fine as long as it was in moderation and were sticking to it despite the warnings.

The Drinks Business: Underage drinking rate at all-time low. The results sit against a recent study by Mintel which found it that alcohol volumes were in decline thanks rising prices and an increasingly health conscious younger generation.

Cosmetics Business: Male Order. A report by Mintel published last year found the UK grooming category grew by 12% between 2007-2012, from £512m to £574m, and sales are expected to rise a further 6% by 2017.

The ‘free from’ category of products is also the fastest growing in the food market with the total value being £367 millon in 2013 and is predicted to rise to £538 million by 2018.’

TUCO (The University Caterers Organisation): Spice trail. According to Mintel the popularity of food trucks is in growth too due to the convenience they offer both caterers and students, as well as pricing, perceived value for money, mobility on campus and the ability to sell a variety of food.

Cafe Culture: Afternoon tea. ‘Confirming tea’s deep cultural roots, research from Mintel also found that three out of four tea drinkers regard drinking tea as ‘part of being British’ and the majority enjoy the ritual of drinking tea.’

Celebrity Angels: Under our skin. Beauty supplements in shot and powder form are part of a fast growing trend that is exploding globally. In a recent study conducted by Mintel, researchers found that most European women take vitamins and supplements to boost their health.

Company Magazine: The Scent of Summer. A bit of digging around and I find that market-research company Mintel back up what Roja says in their 2013 fragrance repor, stating: ‘Seasonal editions remain an important driver for new product development, to appeal to consumers looking for an alternative version of a favourite scent.’
