Abstract

Future Lunch Solutions: Volume 2 looks at the two primary lunch demographics - adults and children - and sets them in an international context. Adult lunch can be divided into working lunch and sandwiches, each sector is analysed in depth, with discussion of four key differentiators: working weekday, at-home, weekend and special occasions. The rise of the lunchbox segment for children's lunches presents a raft of NPD opportunities for manufacturers and retailers alike. Children are becoming more important as decision-makers, and this trend is further analysed in the report. Finally, international variations in lunchtime patterns are assessed and gender differences, including the differing strengths of three key drivers: social, health and convenience.
