NEW YORK, Aug. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- TrendSights Analysis: Moderation & Avoidance - Empowering consumers to limit or avoid specific ingredients, or products; by choice or necessity
Summary
Consumers exhibit, or aim to exhibit restraint, as a means of supporting or improving their wellbeing. In doing so, they are giving up or moderating many villain ingredients, vices and other impurities for the good of their long-term health. For many consumers moderation or avoidance behaviour is done through choice; however, others are forced to for certain medical, cultural, or religious reasons.

While the moderation or avoidance of certain ingredients can be forced upon consumers due to certain medical diagnosis, such as diabetes or food allergies; for many it is a personal lifestyle choice. Indeed, as health continues to be a major topic in the press and social media, and innovative new products enable consumers to take better care of them; consumers feel more empowered to manage their own health.
Trend drivers
- Proactive health: Consumers are taking a DIY approach to their health; and trying to prevent problems before they occur (e.g. through changes to diet).
- Media buzz: Strong attention around "free from" diets in mainstream and social media has driven consumers to seek out such lifestyles
Consumer targets
- Forced moderators & avoiders: Forced to limit or cut out certain vices or ingredients due to reasons beyond their choice (e.g. due to medical diagnosis or religious beliefs).
- Chosen moderators & avoiders: Choose to cut certain ingredients and vices from their lifestyle for personal reasons (e.g. cutting out fat to meet a personal weight loss goal).
Moderation & Avoidance (M&A) is in the maturity stage overall. The key ingredients and products consumers are trying to moderate or avoid are now well established. However as new scientific research emerges, this will continue to evolve over time creating opportunities for revival of the trend.
