2023 Special Session Webinars:
Plant-Based Party
Tuesday, April 11 at 12:00PM - 1:00PM CST
With increased consumer demand and acceptance for plant-based, and more variety of options on the shelf and menu, plant-based is no longer niche. Plant-Based is being celebrated and at our plant-based party, whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just curious, everyone is invited. Per our custom research, we will explore the growth, popularity, and history of plant-based eating as well as insights from our sensory study that uncovers how consumers perceive plant-based. With the global plant-based market expected to expand by 3x, with an increase from US$ 11.3 billion in 2023 to US$ 35.9 billion by 2033, there’s tremendous opportunity to include elements of new innovation into your products. During this presentation, Carrie Rock, Senior Associate Product Manager, will uncover three distinct consumer personas with their needs and opportunities.
