We’re witnessing the ‘wellnessification’ of absolutely everything. Beyond boosting their physical health with fitness and nutrition, people are looking for a path to being well in all aspects of their lives, including their finances, careers, activism, spirituality, home design, tech usage, and so much more....

People, especially in cities, are turning to food and drink not just for sustenance but for a third space and cultural fix. As togetherness becomes a priority, people want to find experiences and belonging with a flavour, offering brands new chances and moments for reaching them.

Eating and drinking are activities steeped in heritage and tradition, which provide a sense of comfort amid global instability. Seeking both a sense of belonging and a way to explore safely, people are celebrating, sharing, and preserving unique hyperlocal food experiences.
