COVID-19: 10 future food scenarios – a report by SHERLOCK

Opinion

COVID-19 has sent a tremor through society. Our lives have been turned upside-down, as have our existing behaviours. Currently, this is having a huge impact on our food and drink buying, eating and socialising habits. But, lockdown won’t last forever, and it will soon be time to face the ‘new normal’. But what does that mean? What it probably doesn’t mean is that everything will go back to exactly the way it was before.

As a creative agency specialising in food & drink, we wanted to look at what might lie ahead. So, we’ve observed, researched, discussed and applied our experience in food & drink to piece together 10 longer term impacts that COVID-19 could potentially have on the food and drink industry.

These aren’t predictions as such (although we believe they’re all variously possible), rather a list of potential outcomes flowing from the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We hope you enjoy reading it and we’d be delighted to receive any feedback that you have.
