Gen Z Profile Report
See How the Rise of Gen Z Will Influence the Future of the Meat Industry
Being future-focused is smart business: How will upcoming generations shape the world? One important cohort that the meat industry has its eye on is Generation Z. Out of today’s sixty-five million Gen Z Americans — those born between 1997 and 2011 — about half have hit adulthood and are now making their own meat purchasing decisions. It will be another seven years before all of Gen Z are adults. To help you better understand these up-and-coming meat consumers, Midan surveyed Gen Zs as part of our Meat Consumer Segmentation 3.0 research.

- 37% look to influencers for inspiration to try new products
- 65% agree a brand’s social media presence influences their fresh meat and poultry purchase decisions
- 75% think about sustainability at least some when purchasing fresh meat
- 50% would pay for meat that supports a cause they are in favor of
