By 2026, eating habits are expected to change significantly. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
A report announced by major brands, including Yum! Brands (owner of chains such as KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell), outlines the main directions of future eating trends.
According to it, personalized and management-based eating methods may become widespread. Custom orders and mini-portions will become a new trend.
From now on, instead of large portions or communal dining, each person will have the opportunity to choose dishes according to their own needs. In particular, kits like "build your own" and personal portions are expected to become popular.
This not only meets the individual needs of consumers but also expresses self-care and appreciation. Another interesting trend is the option to choose sauces.
Brands offer consumers various sauces and special boxes to express their taste. This process is becoming popular on social networks like TikTok, with many users showcasing their personal choices.
Additionally, the emotional economy is strengthening. Now consumers value feelings and experiences more than prices or discounts.
Especially the younger generation prefers purchases that match their emotions. Overall, in 2026, eating will be based not only on food consumption but also on personal choice, management, and emotional experience.
In this new era, consumers' moods and needs will take a central place.
