Abstract
Overview
Introduction
Convenience needs are driving consumers to constantly seek out more efficient
and effective products that can help facilitate multi-tasking and fulfill
desires to maximize leisure time. Anything offering ease is becoming luxurious
and this has significant implications for on-the-go consumption: the snacking
market value rose to reach US$161 billion across the US and Europe in 2005.

- Analysis of the changes in consumer lifestyles that are driving the
changes in on-the-go consumption behavior

and insights analyzed in the report
Report Highlights
The number of on-the-go eating occasions in Europe is forecast to increase
from 103 billion in 2005 to 113 billion in 2010. The growth rate in the US,
where on-the-go consumption is more established than in Europe, will continue
with the number of occasions forecast to increase from 126 billion in 2005 to
140 billion in 2010.
Consumers' propensity to drink on-the-go is higher than it is to eat
on-the-go. Occasion growth is also forecast to be slightly higher which is
accounted for by the fact that inhibitors to on-the-go consumption such as
mess, embarrassment and inconvenience are less pronounced for such occasions.
People increasingly view foods as 'all-day consumables': the 'flexi-eating'
trend means that more consumers are now less specific about what products they
associate with specific mealtime consumption occasions. This means that
products that once targeted impulse snacking occasions can increasingly be
aligned as convenient solutions across the day.
