Singapore (Monday, September 25th, 2023) – Leading behavioral insights firm, Canvas8, have announced their work with Givaudan, a global frontrunner in Fragrance & Beauty and Taste & Wellbeing, on their FlavourVision® trends report.

Detailed within the report is an extensive exploration of transformative shifts and the identification of five profound consumer macro trends. These trends are currently influencing global taste preferences on an unprecedented scale and have given rise to over 20 micro-expressions, representing tangible indicators of cultural and behavioral shifts.

The five overarching consumer macro trends identified for Givaudan are as follows:

  • Green for me: Consumers increasingly embrace eco-actions that resonate on a deeply personal level.
  • Restorative care: There is a growing shift towards adopting intuitive, restorative approaches to health.
  • Stable connections: Consumers seek stability and continuity, leaning towards hyper-local and self-centric mindsets.
  • Sensorial renaissance: A yearning for heightened sensory experiences that transcend conventional boundaries.
  • Augmented assistance: A quest for proactive and personalized digital tools to navigate and optimize daily life.

The methodologies employed throughout this 25-week project included Driver Mapping, Future Mapping, STEEPLE Analysis, Signal Scanning, and Expert Insights. To make sense of the wealth of data collected, Thematic Clustering was utilized for in-depth analysis. The culmination of this effort resulted in a flagship FlavourVision® trend book.

One of the key facets of this groundbreaking partnership was Canvas8’s curation of insights from a diverse panel of global thought leaders. Ranging from cyborg anthropologists to design strategists and philosophy professors, this bespoke panel provided invaluable perspectives and future-proofed insights, ensuring the FlavourVision® trends report remains on the cutting edge.

Thomas Ullram, Global Marketing Director at Givaudan Taste & Wellbeing, said: “We are really excited to share the new FlavourVision® with our customers.
