Our market and trend research forms the basis for targeted product development. Using specialist tools, internal surveys, panel surveys and comprehensive food trend analysis, we identify relevant developments in the international food industry at an early stage. This enables us to provide a sound basis for decision-making when it comes to creating tailor-made seasoning and flavour solutions.
Using a wide range of databases and analytical tools, we monitor new global products, competitors, and market trends – based on data and always up to date.
We analyse relevant food trends for the food industry and use them to develop tailored new product ideas.
In our quarterly Culivision Trend Report, we compile market observations and trend analyses in a concise format. We identify relevant developments, interpret them in a practical context, and use them to generate initial product ideas.
Whether for inspiration or as a starting point for your next innovation – we turn trends into reality and work with you to develop your bespoke product.
In our innovation workshops, we turn ideas into market-ready product solutions – in collaboration with our customers. Prepared samples are tasted, discussed, and refined right on the spot. This process yields customized concepts with real-world relevance – creative, structured, and closely aligned with market needs.

Sensory analysis is a key component of our development process. In our panels, we evaluate sensory characteristics such as taste, texture, and mouthfeel – using descriptive and hedonic tests as well as comprehensive concept evaluations. In addition, we use targeted food pairing opens up new worlds of flavor – for solutions that not only work well but also taste great.
We have established two distinct panels composed of Fuchs Group employees to address a wide range of requirements and questions. Our colleagues regularly answer questions and taste and evaluate a wide variety of products. Using a professional analysis tool, we then process the collected data, providing our customers with valid facts rather than just “gut feelings.”
Which ingredients go well together, and what new flavors can be scientifically developed for a specific product? Our food pairing tool helps us create not only the ever-popular flavors but also something truly unique.
In many ways, sensory analysis provides us with insights through analyses, descriptions, and comparisons. Is the newly developed product truly ready for the market? How can we describe flavor in a standardized way? How can we obtain reliable results during tastings? Our sensory analysis team answers these and many other questions. And because this topic is so important to us, we have established sensory analysis teams and laboratories at many locations around the world.
