2 February 2026 15:48 RaboResearch

In our latest episode, Tom Bailey, Maria Castroviejo, and Cyrille Filott go beyond the headlines to unpack what January’s news means for the industry. We look at the launch of GLP-1 pills and how wider access could reshape category demand – think reformulation, portion strategy, and where “better for you” might actually win. We also break down Christmas sales in the UK and France, separating signal from noise on volume and value. Plus, we spotlight a new RaboResearch report on cocoa alternatives and how blends and new inputs could help manage cost and volatility without losing the consumer. We wrap up with the geopolitical risks most likely to spill onto shelves and into shopper behavior.
