NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Specialty Food Association (SFA) Trendspotter Panel navigated thousands of specialty food products showcased by nearly 1,100 exhibitors from January 19-21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Guided by the SFA’s 2025 Trend Predictions, the Trendspotters assembled a diverse collection of products from which seven overall trends have emerged. “The first Show in the industry’s annual cycle, the Winter Fancy Food Show establishes key emerging trends for the specialty food and beverage market each year. The 12,000 participants who joined us in Las Vegas in January got an exclusive preview of how specialty food makers are responding to shifts in consumer preferences and values,” said Bill Lynch, SFA President. “The Trendspotter Panel came away with exciting findings that range from Instant Global Gratification to the impact of small farms and Hawaii as Terroir. I look forward to seeing how these trends show up across the industry in 2025 and beyond.”
Yes, Chef “Whether through flavorful marinades like the Zesty Shwarma sauce by Beituti or the flavor hacks from Fine Foods Marketing, home chefs have tons of options to inject their food with exciting flavors. The addition of one of these pantry items to a sheet of roasted vegetables and chickpeas or as a marinade for protein will upscale your dining experience at home,” says Trendspotter Summer Thompson. “One of the most frequent comments I encounter from our customers is “I want my food to taste like a restaurant.” These overtly umami-packed items elevate your baseline level of flavor when you’re showing off your new techniques in the kitchen. They also take away some of the edge when you are trying out new methods for cooking – faith in the ingredients is the basis of all good recipes.”
