Even without the „New Product Showcase” innovation special show taking place at ISM this year, we still want to invite you to make use of the ISM communication channels to present your innovations to the trade and the press. Social media postings, press releases and newsletters to the ISM visitors and VIP visitors will take the place of the physical showcases in early 2021. The innovations of the sweets and snacks industry will be communicated over a period of several weeks starting 15 February 2021. Up from 15 February, too, the New Product Database with product descriptions and pictures of the innovations will be online.

Webinar and trade article „Experiential Snacking, Innovating with Texture, Format and Flavour“, Euromonitor

The global snacks market is rapidly evolving, with the development of its sensory experience heavily hampered by the impact of Covid-19 and the need to adapt and capture consumers’ demand in the era of the new normal. On the one hand, channel closure and social distancing are causing a loss of momentum due to the new consumer lifestyle. On the other hand, home-seclusion is driving a rapid acceleration in the on-going shift towards bringing the experience home and the increasing relevance of trends such as hometainment.

To overcome the reduced occasions and to stimulate consumers demand, this presentation focusses on the three promising pillars in experiential innovations: texture, format and flavour.
