2. Global food trends
• Food and beverage habits have evolved over
the years especially with the mixing of
communities and international food tastes
and traditions, the new food trends for 2018
are much different than what they used to be
only a few decades ago. Here are some
significant food trends of the present year

3. Trend #1. Food on the Go
• With busy work and life routines, most people
no longer have that kind of time on their
hands where they can spend hours on cooking
foods and preparing beverages for themselves
and others around them. The most significant
preference for people in 2018 is to get
readymade food on the go that they can just
buy and consume.

4. Trend #2. Healthy Foods and
Beverages
• With all the information available on different
channels like label information, social media
or the internet in general, people are much
more aware of what they should be eating to
stay healthy, and that's what they prefer.

5. Trend #3. International Foods
• If you look around in any of your local markets
or town centers, you will notice the
abundance of international foods restaurants
and take away stores. The general focus of
local people in any given market has shifted
towards international foods that are not
native to their regions.

6. Trend# 4 Good Looking Foods
• For such a long time, the preference has
always been to get food that tastes good and
is made from healthy ingredients, a new
addition to the preferences in 2018 has been
the presentation and how the prepared food
items look. French delicacies like the
Macarons are a perfect example

7. Trend #5. Long Lasting Foods
• The busy routines cutting down time people
can spend on cooking has also changed food
storage priorities. In 2018, people prefer foods
that can last a good amount of time and being
able to be enjoyed over more than one meals.

8. Trend #6. Portable Packages
• Another very significant trend in 2018 is to
have your food and beverages products as
well portable as possible. People are always
on the move and food that can move with
them and can be consumed whenever or
wherever required is appreciated

9. Trend #7. The Dislike for Fast Foods
• Even though fast food chains like Pizza Hutt,
McDonald's, KFC or Dominos might be
experiencing growth, but it is not as much as
the growth in population and the general
awareness in what to eat has meant that
people are diverting from oily and fatty fast
foods in 2018

10. Trend #8. Attractive Food Packaging
• In the more competitive modern world, like
anything else, what looks more attractive sells
more. This rule applies to food products as
well. Custom Printed Food Packaging has
gotten so much better and efficient and does
the best job of attracting hungry people
towards them
