Innovation Opportunities Through Consumer Segmentation

Webinar 4 of 5

In this session, we examine the innovation opportunity through the lens of NPB Consumer Connect segmentation — where Food Analytics’ proprietary behavioral methodology intersects with NPB’s attitudinal segmentation to deliver actionable, real‑world insight.

Registration Coming Soon

Consumer Connect Segmentation

This session focuses on linking what consumers say with what they actually do, creating a clearer picture of how attitudes, behaviors and consumption patterns come together to drive pork choice.

1. Characterizing the Seven NPB Consumer Segments

Participants will gain a detailed understanding of each segment, including:

  • Culinary Adventurers
  • Mindful Choicemakers
  • Culture Celebrators
  • Tasty Value Seekers
  • Confident Meat Eaters
  • Simple Feeders
  • Meat Minimizers

For each segment, we will uncover:

  • Who they are and how they live
  • Where and with whom they eat meals
  • Top fresh and processed pork cuts
  • Channels of pork purchase and frequency of consumption
  • Top dishes and products
  • Where they cook, which utensils they use, and sources of recipes and inspiration
  • Culinary Capital Index insights

2. Mapping U.S. Culinary Capital by Segment

We will map where culinary influence and opportunity live across the U.S., with a deeper look at Gen Z and Millennials.

3. Pork Innovation Alignment

The session concludes by connecting segments to innovation adoption — highlighting how insights translate into clear innovation, product and growth opportunities for pork.
