Imagined Futuristic Groceries

The Future Market Guesses What Grocery Stores Will Be Like in 2065

The Future Market is a pop-up shop that imagines what a grocery store and its products will look like in the year 2065 -- almost 50 years from now. The pop-up grocery store doesn't exist yet, but will be open in New York City next year.

A group of designers are collaborating with food industry professionals to bring The Future Market to the public. The team conceptualizes the 2065 grocery story to have a digital food ID that informs the retail space of your allergies, preferences and diet requirements. A touch screen could let you order the items you need; perhaps your produce will come from hydroponic farms. The team also imagined fake groceries inside, including Crop Crisps.
Trend Themes
1. Digital Food Identification - The concept of digital food identification could disrupt the way grocery stores interact with customers in the future, providing personalized service and catering to individual dietary needs.
2. Hydroponic Farming - With the growth of hydroponic farming, the future of grocery stores could see a significant increase in locally sourced and sustainable produce, disrupting traditional supply chains.
3. Virtual Grocery Shopping - Virtual grocery shopping through a touch screen interface could offer convenience and increased accessibility to customers, and could disrupt the brick-and-mortar grocery store experience.
Industry Implications
1. Food Retail - The food retail industry will need to adapt to changing customer needs and technological advances, providing greater convenience, personalization and sustainability.
2. Farming - The farming industry will face pressure to shift towards more sustainable and locally-sourced practices as grocery stores adapt to meet changing consumer preferences and demands.
3. Technology - The technology industry can leverage advancements in AI, touch screens and digital food identification to disrupt the traditional grocery store experience and provide greater personalization and convenience.
