Canadian Retailer - Spring 2017 - 7

THINKING LOCALLY
As we continue to move further into the future, the world is becoming smaller.
Locally grown and made products are filling our grocery store shelves more
and more as consumers continue to clamour for their availability.

THE YEMP
TRENDSETTERS

What food producers do Canadians trust the most?

95%
83%

Say local growers and farmers do a good job ensuring the quality and safety of their food products.

Say it's important they know where
their food comes from.

Trust food that comes from abroad.

Boomers - McCafe coffee, Iögo yogurt, Voltaren, Oka
cheese, Danone Oikos Greek yogurt.

Many food trends are
influenced by the cohort of
YEMPs-young educated
millennial parents. Ipsos
says that for dinner, compared to the general population and other millennials
too, YEMPs are much more
likely to: opt for home meal
replacements; look for organic and gluten-free products;
shop at ethnic grocers, mass
merchandisers and convenience stores; do unplanned
or emergency grocery pick
ups; and look for dinners
that are easy to prepare with
little to no planning.

FAST-GROWING BRANDS
Millennials (27%) and Boomers (28%) make up 55% of the Canadian
population. While these two groups are similar in size, with such an extended
age gap, it's no surprise that they shop differently and have varying tastes.
Yet, these preferences aren't always as different as you would imagine.
™
The top brands on the way up by generation:
Millennials - Iögo yogurt, Almond Breeze milk, Tim Horton's
coffee, McCafe coffee, Starbucks coffee.
