UNPACKING AUSSIES’ LOVE OF CONVENIENCE
Roy Morgan’s Laura Demasi will deliver some hard and fast facts around how Aussies are embracing convenience in her keynote presentation at the upcoming Food & Drink Business LIVE breakfast forum, taking place at Arts Centre, Melbourne, on 12 October.
Speakers and panellists at the breakfast will also include Simone Cote, GM Marketing & Innovation, SPC; Nicole Mahler, founder & director, Delicious Foods Australia; Iain Blair, co-founder & director, Birdstone Collective; and Dr Angeline Achariya, CEO, Monash Food Innovation Centre.
According to Demasi, who is the director of Social and Consumer Trends at Roy Morgan Research, the majority of Australians are turning to fast and convenience foods as an antidote to chronic busyness and time-poor lifestyles.
“Nearly two million Australians aged 14+ (9.8%) now use Uber Eats, Menulog/Eatnow.com.au, Deliveroo or one of the many other meal delivery services in an average three months. Australia’s younger generations have taken keenly to meal delivery services with 16.1% of Millennials (aged 28-42 years old) having used a meal delivery service in an average three months,” Demasi says.
Come along to Food & Drink Business LIVE to discover more of the key trends that are shaping our convenience culture.
