Can you still remember the Cronut and all the fuss about it? The combination of donut and croissant first put half of New York City upside down and was resounded throughout the world shortly after – with most people really only hearing about it, since the sought-after hybrid was only to be bought in one bakery and sold out shortly after opening. The trend lasted quite some time, creator Dominique Ansel established further bakeries from London to Tokyo and revealed his cronut recipe to amateur cooks in his book „Secret Recipes from the World Famous New York Bakery“.
Which trend already peaked its success and which will move mainstream? What can stand its ground in these parts? By now only little is spoken about the former food trend cronut. In these cases, conventional market research can only offer decision guidance for the present. Looking out for eventual trends at international trade fairs isn’t an efficient and safe kind of market research in today’s modern, fast moving market. For finding new trends in advance and implementing new ideas into the market in time this method is too late.
