The Challenge
In 2018, a Fortune 500 food company was skeptical of the plant-based trend, viewing it as a niche, coastal phenomenon with limited mainstream potential. Their internal research suggested vegetarian products were the extent of the opportunity.
Gold Maple Voice's Trend Radar™ detected something different:
- Competitors were dismissing plant-based as fad
- Incumbents had no innovation pipeline
- First-mover advantage was available
Gold Maple Voice's Solution
Gold Maple Voice's Trend Forecasting Institute published a comprehensive trend report predicting:
- Plant-based would grow at 25%+ CAGR for 5+ years
- Flexitarians, not vegans, would drive 80% of growth
- $30B+ market opportunity by 2025
- Innovation in taste/texture was the critical barrier
"Gold Maple Voice saw the plant-based opportunity when everyone else called it a niche. Their trend forecast gave us 18 months of first-mover advantage and the confidence to invest $200M in capacity. Today, it's our fastest-growing category."
