| NEWSMAKER - Siân Edwards, Group Insights Manager at Finlays
| FEATURE INTRO - This week, Tea Biz discusses a range of revealing consumer trends and beverage insights with Siân Edwards Edwards -- Group Insights Manager at Finlays. She says the outlook for the beverage industry is positive, with consumers making good choices for the planet and themselves.
Conscious Consumerism – Finlays annually publishes a beverage trends report. This year’s eighteen pages of statistics and market research revealed that consumers have growing concerns about food inflation and economic growth, but research cited in Finlays Beverage Trends 2023 indicates that consumers continue to view good tea as an affordable luxury, explains Group Insights Manager Siân Edwards.
Edwards says, “The desire to treat themselves, coupled with concern for their health and the planet, drives the trend toward conscious consumerism. We’re seeing how each purchasing decision is carefully evaluated regarding financial, health, and environmental cost. Throughout this report, we’ve sought to encapsulate this broad sentiment under the banner of ‘mindfulness’, as people mindfully allow themselves indulgences, choose healthy products, and opt for brands with a lower environmental impact.”
