Tetra Pak also presented its 2017 Tetra Pak Index, an annual study which provides insights into the global trends and opportunities in shaping the future of the food and beverage industry. Themed around ‘The Connected Consumer’, this year’s study explores the world of digital and online consumers, how they are connecting with F&B brands globally, and how it impacts buying decision behaviors. Additionally, Jeff Fromm, noted US-based speaker & author of Marketing to Millennials, shared key points on how Millennials fuel change in the food and beverage category and how brands can win Millennial consumers.
