Top Global Consumer Trends for 2018
We have been reading up on the latest consumer trends for 2018 and have summarised into the top 5 trends you need to be aware of.
Personalisation
Today's digitally savvy consumers are taking their personal wellbeing into their own hands. The growing belief that diet cannot be "one size fits all" is gaining ground and expected to continue driving consumer demand across the food and beverage sector.
Healthy Ageing
Life expectancy is dramatically increasing around the globe, on average of 11 years longer for men and 12 years for women compared to 40 years ago. Following a healthy diet is key to healthy ageing and this brings opportunities for dairy products to leverage the natural nutritional values in milk.
Snacking
In much of the developed and developing world, increasingly busy lifestyles are driving growth of snacking occasions and fueling demand for grab-and-go convenience. Younger consumers are more likely to agree that snacking helps to keep energy levels up and that eating healthy snacks is a good way to manage weight.

Slim down to tone up
Dairy protein can help support weight and muscle management by providing a high quality source of satiating protein that can stimulate metabolism, and promote the retention and growth of muscle when consumed alongside an exercise program.
Protein is essential for lean muscle growth
We have a requirement for high quality proteins in our diet. Protein from dairy sources is an excellent product to meet our essential amino acid requirements, especially for those interested in exercise, healthy lifestyles, and ageing well.
Power your day with protein
Dairy protein can help support weight management by providing a satiating high quality source of protein, helping with appetite control whether you are interested in maintaining or reducing weight, as well as supporting sustained energy levels throughout the day
Not all proteins are created equal
Dairy protein is a high quality complete protein available in varying formats that provide high levels of all the essential amino acids. A diet rich in dairy protein, in combination with a resistance training programme, optimises lean muscle gain and provides body composition benefits.
