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

Mintel’s 2026 Consumer Predictions Webinar goes beyond traditional trends analysis to deliver forward-looking intelligence on how consumer behaviors will evolve. In this webinar, Mintel’s experts cut through the noise to highlight the 3 key consumer predictions you need to build resilient strategies and future-proof your brand.

This webinar will take you on a journey to 2030 as we explore the outlook across Mintel’s 2026 Global Consumer Predictions.  In this webinar we’ll dive into the following topics:

Anti-Algorithm: Once a behind-the-scenes tool designed to make life simpler and more personalized, the algorithm has become a powerful force that shapes – and sometimes distorts – people’s identity and worldview. Consumers must navigate the convenience they gain against the protection, empowerment and self-expression they risk losing.

The New Young: The timeline of life is being redefined – and so is what it means to be “young.” Brands that front-load fulfillment only into youth will miss the wealth of opportunity that exists in the extended middle.

The Affection Deficit: As the social glue of human exchanges erodes, brands now stand at a crossroads: will they nurture human affection as a vital thread in the fabric of modern social life or embrace efficiency at all costs?

This live session was designed to spark ideas, answer your questions, and inspire action helping your teams move from simply anticipating change to actively leading it.
