What is the Consumer Looking For?

Today’s consumer is more discerning than ever before. As well as refreshment and great taste, consumers are increasingly looking for products that offer more. More in terms of functional benefits, and more in terms of ethical credentials and sustainable sourcing. They’re also more demanding of brands to share and live their values. In short, consumers don’t just want food and beverages, they want to taste an aspirational lifestyle.

While these factors were once a “nice-to-have”, they’re increasingly essential as differentiators in a crowded landscape.

What This Means for Brand Owners

At Finlays, we understand that meeting this consumer demand is easier said than done. In a world where consumer demand evolves rapidly and supply chains are ever more complex, responding confidently and quickly to market trends poses several challenges and risks to brands. When it comes to tea extracts, consistency and quality of ingredients, simplicity of sourcing and production, compliance issues and unclear provenance are all common challenges.
