How it works

From a blank page to a product idea you can validate

Most food brands struggle to translate big market trends — protein, fiber, gut health — into the right product for their portfolio. The Launch Advisor does it from evidence, in minutes.

1

Tell us your brand or category

No brief, no finished product. Just your brand name, category, or the portfolio you want to grow.

2

We match it to winning products + trends

Our AI queries a database of the most innovative, award-winning food products and live market trends relevant to your space.

3

Get an idea + a study to prove it

You receive concrete new product ideas and a ready-to-run consumer study (Vox + Domus) to validate the winner before you invest.

Why start NPD from winning products, not a blank page

Roughly three in four food launches fail within their first year. The pattern behind the survivors is rarely a brand-new trend — it's a proven macro-trend, adapted early to the right category. High-protein, fiber and gut health, GLP-1-friendly portions, and plant-forward formats are reshaping shelves in 2026.

The Launch Advisor starts your new product development from what consumers already reward: award-winning launches, retailer innovation, and category growth. Instead of guessing which food trend to chase, you get a specific product direction that fits your portfolio — and a plan to validate it with real consumers before development spend.

FAQ

What to launch in 2026 — answered

What food product should I launch in 2026?

The strongest 2026 launch opportunities adapt proven macro-trends — high-protein, fiber and gut health, GLP-1-friendly portions, plant-forward formats — to your specific category and portfolio gap. The Launch Advisor analyzes your brand against a database of award-winning products and proposes concrete ideas that fill a white space you can own, then designs a study to validate it before you invest in development.

How do I find food trends for new product development?

Reliable NPD trend signals come from what consumers actually reward at shelf: award-winning launches (World Food Innovation Awards, SIAL Innovation, Monde Selection, Product of the Year, NEXTY, PLMA and more), retailer innovation, and category growth data. Eatpol indexes 780+ of these award-winning products across 9 global award sources and matches them to your category, so you start ideation from evidence rather than a blank page.

How does the Eatpol Launch Advisor work?

You enter your brand or category. The Launch Advisor matches it against a database of the most innovative winning food products and live market trends, then proposes new product ideas tailored to your portfolio. Each idea comes with a ready-to-run consumer-research study (Vox interviews and Domus in-home tests) so you can validate it with real consumers.

How is this different from a trend report?

A trend report tells you what is growing. The Launch Advisor turns trends into a specific product idea for your brand and then gives you a validation plan — the study you would run to prove consumers want it. It is built for action, not just reading.
