According to a new analysis by Kerry, one of the world’s leading taste and nutrition companies, beverages associated with health benefits, sustainability, and better nutrition are soaring in popularity among foodservice consumers.  

Kerry’s latest research into foodservice beverages shows consumers are seeking flavours that they link with health and nutrition benefits such as strawberry, lemon and mango, but are also seeking excitement and a sensory experience through newer formats like Frappuccino and bubble tea. 

Examining nearly 400 limited time offerings (LTOs) across 12 regions in Europe, the new Art of Taste and Nutrition 2022 summer analysis categorises the top beverage platforms and flavours, while examining future trends and influences across the world.

According to the research, the top three LTO trends are as follows: 

  • Travel through taste:Moving beyond just a beverage, LTO’s can also deliver an experience. Many outlets this year launched beverages with flavours such as mango, pineapple, passion fruit and coconut to create a tropical island experience for the senses. 
  • Natural refreshment:Consumers are craving a cool, refreshing beverage, with many now focusing on flavours they consider natural and local to the different European regions such as lemon and strawberry.  
  • Health and nutrition focus:Consumers are looking to foodservice outlets for healthier options. Nutrition focused LTO ranges need to deliver not only great taste but also health benefits through fortification and healthy halo ingredients. 

“With markets in Europe fully re-opened this summer, foodservice operators find themselves once again competing for consumers attention. LTO’s have come back with a vengeance and are more popular than ever,” says Daniel Sjogren, VP and General Manager for Foodservice in Kerry Europe.

“Fruit flavours continue to be the core flavour offering for summer LTO’s across Europe but with two clear distinctions. Firstly, exotic flavours have become more prominent in consumers’ minds as they remind themselves of their favourite holiday destinations. However, consumers are also becoming more conscious of their own health and are seeking out flavours aligned to their personal nutrition needs.”  

Sjogren says Kerry’s prediction for the future are that sustainability along with nutrition will continue to become more important as consumers look for great tasting beverages that are better for them and better for the planet.
