Complete report is available at http://marketreportsstore.com/early-signals-future-scenarios-that-will-drive-consumption-and-product-innovation-over-the-next-five-years/ .

In addition, the key consumer groups and most likely early adopters are identified for each scenario, helping companies identify who they need to target to make the most of these future opportunities. These 14 scenarios are based on 50 early signals of change in consumer behavior that will drive deep, structural changes in consumer markets in future, as identified by a team of global industry experts. Some of the findings from this research include: Reverse innovation and a new wave of emerging economies will arrive, including Africa and the Far East. Successfully targeting the early adopters of this scenario will be worth up to US$1.7 trillion across consumer markets worldwide by 2018. While no single company will take a complete share of this opportunity, this figure highlights the maximum potential value of changes to consumer behavior as a result of this scenario across countries and consumer markets. Technology will have a greater influence on shopping habits and choice of channels. Increasing automation of retail will breathe new life into vending machines, discounters will take a growing share of online retail, and technology will help consumers make healthier consumption choices. This scenario has a high likelihood of occurring, but will only have a moderate impact as consumer industries are already gearing up for more technologically-minded consumers.

The issue of transparency will reach a tipping point, as consumers become "anti-big". Consumers will prioritize "smaller" brands which they associate with artisanal production techniques, better quality and greater levels of trust, and the desire for consumers to be "closer" to their food and drink will intensify. The key consumer groups for this scenario will be highly educated, affluent women living in urban environments. Resource scarcity will intensify and sustainable behavior will become more noticeable. This includes the growing prevalence of artificial food, the effects of dwindling resources on cooking habits, and how "less is more" packaging will become the norm. However, this is the least valuable of the 14 scenarios analyzed by this report, worth US$133 billion by 2018.
