The 2026 Food & Beverage Forecast
In this highly anticipated episode, we unpack Tastewise’s 2026 Food & Beverage Trend Forecast — our annual deep dive into the cultural, health, and innovation shifts shaping what’s next on the plate and in the glass.
We break down the year’s biggest forces, including:
- Food as Identity Reconnection — why authenticity, heritage, and “anti-fake” foods are winning consumer trust.
- The New Body OS — how GLP-1s, fertility, and cognitive health are turning pantries into personal health systems.
- Quiet Luxury & Small Indulgences — the rise of understated premium, from cocktails to everyday staples.
- Sensory Maximalism — why textures that crack, pop, and fizz are the new frontier of experience.
Why it matters for you: If you’re a brand, retailer, or foodservice operator, this isn’t just about spotting fun products on TikTok. It’s about understanding the cultural context your consumers are living in. The brands that win in 2026 won’t just follow flavors — they’ll enable self-expression, health calibration, and authentic connections.
Whether you’re building the next functional beverage, planning retail strategy, or thinking through your marketing strategy, this episode will give you the data-backed foresight to make smarter, faster, future-ready decisions.
