Webinar: COVID-19 Impact: Global poultry and egg purchases, behaviors

Watch on-demand now to learn how the effect of COVID-19 has changed consumer purchasing behavior globally.

Consumer purchasing behavior changed dramatically as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Retail sales of poultry meat and eggs have soared both in-store and online. Click and pay formats as well as home delivery have experienced outstanding growth. With countries starting to ease social distancing restrictions and restaurants and other food service outlets open for in-house dining, how will consumers around the globe react? What pandemic fueled changes will remain, and which old purchasing patterns and behaviors will return. David Hughes, PhD., Emeritus Professor of Food Marketing, Imperial College London, and Chris DuBois, senior vice president and principal, IRI, will share data on how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed consumer purchasing behavior globally and offer insight into how consumers will behave in the remainder of 2020 and beyond.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

1. How the COVID-19 pandemic has changed where, how, and when consumers are purchasing poultry meat and eggs.
2. How consumer purchasing behaviors changed in countries/regions where social distancing restrictions have been eased.
3. The consumer purchasing behaviors that are likely to linger after the pandemic is over.

This webinar is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and is presented by WATTAgNet and WATT Global Media.
