VYPR Report: UK Consumers Not Quite Ready To Save The World

According to leading scientists, the world will run out of food by 2050, thanks to a population boom, which has producers across the planet looking at new ways to keep us all fed in the decades to come. According to recent reports (including the BBC’s Today programme this week), that means it may soon become legal in the UK to use insects as a food source for chickens that will ultimately end up on British plates. In the latest of our series on food waste innovation, we sought to find out just how accepting consumers are to the change and what this means – most importantly – for purchase intent.

VYPR Consumer Survey Results: Waste Innovation

Food waste is high on the political agenda. This week, VYPR commissioned a report on consumer attitudes and behaviours surrounding food innovation in waste, importantly seeking to understand how this might impact purchase intent. Over 70% of consumers claimed that they would buy products featuring ingredients that would normally go to waste. 90% of respondents feel that waste is a serious issue, while 93% of UK consumers claimed that they felt individually responsible for taking action to reduce waste. Importantly, 89% indicated that they want to make a difference to tackle the problem, which surely puts pressure on food manufacturers and retailers to proactively empower their customers to take action. However, when we delve deeper and it comes to trying new innovative waste concepts, it is clear that there is still a long way to go to convince consumers to behave differently and embrace change.

85% of new products fail.

We’re on a mission to change that.

In our experience, people fail to test products effectively with consumers, either because it’s too expensive or they’ve been burned by relying on old-school market research that doesn’t translate into commercial performance at the ultimate moment of truth: in the live context of a frantic shopping mission.

We’d love you to road-test Vypr, give us your feedback and enjoy the benefits of better product intelligence. We’ll connect you to 1000s of consumers and you’ll get unlimited opportunities to test your latest innovations or iterations.
