April 17: Retail Fresh Foods and COVID-19: What’s Next for Deli, Dairy, and Bakery

Since the beginning of March, producers and retailers in the fresh foods industries have been scrambling to react, supply and prepare for what’s next in retail grocery as consumers shift purchase patterns and priorities.

Category Partners will examine at how consumers have responded and take a look into what retail and consumer data indicates may be coming in the weeks ahead. It will share insights by examining the departmental (deli, dairy, and bakery) weekly sales patterns through March and into the first week of April. In addition, the webinar will unveil results from a nationally representative survey of 2,000 consumers that was conducted the third week in March, which reveals shifts in consumer motivations and behaviours as well as demographic variances.

April 29: The State of Cheese

In the consumer packaged goods industry, there are not many categories that can tout reaching nearly every household in the United States. Natural cheese is one of those categories, finding itself in over 95% of US households and driving nearly $19 billion in annual sales.

In this live IDDBA webinar, IRI will update you on how cheese has performed at retail, how snacking trends have impacted the category, and how the rise of plant-based protein sources has changed the dairy industry.

Attendees will learn:

• Where growth is coming from and why it’s harder to come by.
• How macro trends around snacking are shaping the future of dairy case and deli cheese.
• How consumer interest in plant-based protein is driving innovation.
