Connect today’s behaviors to tomorrow’s opportunities live.

Mintel’s 2026 Global Food & Drink Predictions were developed with a view to how empathetic brands can help consumers who feel like they are only surviving, rather than thriving.

The polycrisis, a term for a series of consecutive, interlinked shocks or disasters, of the last five years has left consumers and companies alike in need of support to feel prepared, flexible and, even creative in the face of obstacles.

Being resilient is a lasting lesson from COVID-19, but Mintel’s global food and drink analysts predict perseverance will emerge as a motto for 2026.
