16 major 2026 food predictions tested by AI-powered synthetic personas. See which trends are real before you invest.
Butter rebounds. Vinegar drinks tank. Sourdough goes mainstream. Find out which trends your competitors are about to bet on and which ones will waste their R&D budget.
That's why we tested 16 of 2026's buzziest predictions with synthetic personas, AI agents calibrated to real consumer behavior, not hype cycles.
The result? Only 5 trends earned "Go Big." The rest? "Watch Closely" or "Hot Air."
Traditional research can't keep up with shifting taste cycles and viral trends. By the time you've fielded a survey, the narrative has moved.
Our Synthetic Research Platform, powered by 320,000 population-true synthetic personas, models real market behavior in hours, showing what consumers will actually buy, not just what they say they like.
No panels to recruit. No NDAs to wait for. Just fast, private, directionally accurate insight.
