Trends in the U.S. food market are constantly evolving owing to changing consumer behavior and economic growth. U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all food increased by 0.2% from November 2024 to December 2024, where food prices were up 2.5% compared to December 2023.
Further, food-at-home CPI increased 0.1% from November 2024 to December 2024 and was 1.8% above December 2023, and food-away-from-home CPI surged 0.3% in December 2024 and was 3.6% higher than in December 2023. These trends will likely take a toll on consumers’ preferences and how they shop.
