Consumer Packaged Goods Trend Predictions for 2010.Mintel says new products to play on the familiar, updated for today's shopper CHICAGO -- What will the breakthrough new products of next year be? Most likely something recognizable...with a twist. The trend experts at Mintel release their 2010 global consumer packaged goods (CPG CPG central pattern generators. ) predictions, saying next year's new products will recreate the familiar. "Post-recession, we don't expect manufacturers to reinvent the wheel (jargon) reinvent the wheel - To design or implement a tool equivalent to an existing one or part of one, with the implication that doing so is silly or a waste of time. This is often a valid criticism. . Instead, we predict 2010's new products will give shoppers something familiar paired with something new to better satisfy their needs," states Lynn Dornblaser, Mintel's leading new products expert. "On retail store shelves, we expect today's familiar megatrends--health and wellness, convenience, sustainability--to get a fresh, new makeover for 2010." Next year, Mintel predicts seven core trends will impact global new product development as manufacturers try to pique interest in new launches while keeping shoppers comfortable.
