Lynn Dornblaser, Director of Innovation & Insights – presented “Products that are Winning with Consumers” on April 9, 2024.

This presentation looks at new product activity in refrigerated and frozen foods, and couples that with consumer attitudes and behaviors using unique Mintel data capturing consumer purchase intent. We look at the categories that are growing (and declining) in terms of product introductions, identify key innovative products that link to important consumer trends, look at individual product claims, and dive into what consumers think about specific types of new products. You’ll leave the presentation armed with a better understanding of what consumers want from refrigerated and frozen foods, and how the industry is answering those needs.

2027 Beauty & Personal Care Predictions – Americas

Beauty innovation has split into two models: rapid, culturally responsive launches that convert attention into trial, and slower, science-led development that creates defensible value and builds worlds consumers want to belong to. In the future, growth will come from matching the pace of innovation to the consumer need, rather than treating speed or retail presence as the strategy itself.
