Consumer Foods-to-Go Wrap! Wrapping up 2025

The Consumer Foods-to-Go team wraps up 2025 in a brand-new podcast episode (also available on video!). Maria Castroviejo, Tom Bailey, and Cyrille Filott reflect on the key trends and shifts in food markets across the US and Europe. It was an eventful year, marked by US-imposed tariffs, the significant impact of GLP-1s on food sales, and a K-shaped recovery. The team also looks ahead, embracing the idea that "uncertainty is the new certainty" in 2026.   Disclaimer: Please refer to our global RaboResearch disclaimer at https://www.rabobank.com/knowledge/disclaimer/011417027/disclaimer for information about the scope and limitations of the material published on the podcast.

Mind the pricing gap: Live from PLMA's World of Private Label trade show 2025

Once a year, RaboResearch takes the Consumer Foods to Go podcast off-piste. Last week, instead of recording from behind our desks, we once again picked up our microphones and visited the Private Label Manufacturers Association's (PLMA) World of Private Label trade show in Amsterdam. Given the tremendous run that private label market share has had in recent years, the million-dollar questions is: What's next? Could the widened price gap between name brands and their private label counterparts provide opportunities for private label? We have asked five exhibitors their opinion. And – of course – we got five different answers. Please read our disclaimer here: https://www.rabobank.com/knowledge/disclaimer/011410028/disclaimer

Expo West 2025 review: Real food in the spotlight

Like every year, RaboResearch visited Natural Products Expo West, one of the largest food trade shows in the US. In this episode of Consumer Foods to Go, analysts Tom Bailey, Nick Fereday, and JP Frossard share their observations of this year's edition. In their view, with more "real food" and products with shorter ingredient lists, the 2025 Expo West trade show lived up to its "Natural Products" name more than previous editions. Of course, there was much more. Consumer favorites such as protein, convenience, and global flavors were also well represented.
