Common barriers slowing plant-based FMCG. From trust to taste uncertainty.

Category Identification
If shoppers can’t instantly recognise what the product is, hesitation increases and products are more easily overlooked.

Shelf Hierarchy
Claims, flavour, benefits and category all compete for attention within seconds. Weak hierarchy slows conversion.

Trust Barrier
Many consumers tried plant-based once and didn’t return. Packaging needs to reassure on flavour + use.

Health - Taste Tension
Too many health cues can reduce flavour expectation, while too few trigger ultra-processed concerns.

Usage Case Clarity
Flexitarian shoppers with smaller recipe repertoires need clearer usage and preparation cues.

Vegan Signalling
Brands that feel “too vegan” for the target shopper can inadvertently reduce mainstream appeal.
