From croissants to cookies, focaccia to muffins, bakery is no longer just about indulgence—it’s about emotion. Both sweet and savory bakery items have evolved into powerful emotional experiences that deliver comfort, nostalgia, joy, and calm during uncertain times. Consumers now turn to bakery not simply for flavor, but for how it makes them feel—a warm roll can ground them, a spiced loaf can spark memory, and a flaky pastry can bring a moment of joy.

Fresh departments are notorious for making two opposite—but equally costly—mistakes with data and insights. Some companies don’t invest at all, and lose money by operating without the best information to guide decisions. Others do invest, but allocate dollars inefficiently, fail to extract full value, and end up disappointed with their return. In both cases, the outcome is the same: money is being left on the table.

At Perimeter Insights, we believe a simple truth: If you’re happy with the results you’re getting, keep doing what you’re doing.

If you’re not, you deserve better—and should make changes. This series is designed to help Fresh suppliers and retailers evaluate what they’re getting for their data and insights spend—and more importantly, how to get a fair return on that investment.

Protein’s Paradox examines how protein has become one of the most powerful drivers of food and beverage growth while simultaneously creating confusion, skepticism, and strain on trust. Consumers believe in protein and actively seek it out, yet many lack confidence in how much they need, how to identify it, or which claims to trust. As protein claims expand, shoppers are increasingly turning to verification tools, exposing gaps between marketing and reality and raising the stakes for brands and retailers alike. Part I establishes that protein demand is real, but future growth will depend less on louder claims and more on clarity, credibility, and execution as the industry moves into its next phase.
