Trend 1: JOMO
The Joy Of Missing Out, or JOMO, is all about enjoying the comforts of home! It's the feeling of being content with what you're doing in the moment, without worrying about what others are experiencing.
JOMO allows you enjoy both the mindset and ease of bringing all the comforts of the outside world, indoors and making it FUN.
"Who needs to go out, when you can have restaurant quality meals, top notch cocktails, and barista grade coffee at home," says Charles Banks, director and co-founder of TheFoodPeople.
The trend is defined by staying home and enjoying:
Cafecore: Homemade barista-style coffee, with consumer understanding of microlot, heirloom, grind size, crema colour and extraction rate growing
Home happy hour: Pre-portioned, ready-to-pour, bar-quality drinks containing everything from high proof to zero proof
Easy entertaining: Ordering takeaways or oven cooking pre-prepared meals
Grandma core: A nostalgic baking style focusing on high-quality ingredients and retro-style cakes including Battenburg, scones and traybakes
Restaurant-quality: Premiumised foods, with chef-driven ranges, global larder, and fresh foods dominating
Comfort Bowls: The comfort food trend is boosting sales of hearty and warming dishes like soups, stews and ramens
