Consumers turn to savory offerings to satisfy multiple cravings

Implications - Beyond health marketability, savory beverages emerging on the market offer consumers a wider range of flavor, hitting sour, bitter, salty and even sweet notes at once. With consumers frequently skipping or replacing meals with smaller snacks, they desire products that will satisfy multiple cravings in one go as well as keep them full for longer. The well-informed modern consumer must factor both the immediate and long-term benefits of a product prior to consumption.
