Food Service Trends for 2025

No one truly knows that the future holds. But with three decades in the food service industry and a passionate and knowledgeable team, GTI Designs has a high success rate being at the forefront of food service trends. This is what we predict for 2025:

A Refined Produce Section

The rising costs of imported goods will see domestic products filling the gaps. For Supermarkets and Grocery Stores, this will mean an expanded produce section. With a wider variety of domestic options and emerging products that rise to meet the demand.

The Solution:
GTI Designs offers an extensive line of Multidecks, Semi-Verticals, and Island Style Display Cases. All of which are extremely customizable, energy efficient, and available in a variety of sizes. Our design team will also help you place your new Multidecks and Displays in the most optimal way possible. The Futuro Multideck, Futuro Semi-Vertical, and United are great options to display produce, prepackaged meals, meats and cheeses, as well as prepared foods (United is also available as a hot food display).

Upscaled Beverages and Non-Alcoholic Alternatives

Beverage sales are on the rise in multiple sectors. Products like THC or CBD Infused beverages, Pro-biotic Kombucha, flavored seltzer, and healthier sodas have been seeing a significant market increase for the past few years. This shows no signs of slowing down into 2025 and beyond!

While there has been a quickly growing market for Upscaled, Non-Alcoholic beverages, it should also be noted that alcohol sales have risen in recent years as well. This combination points to an easy avenue for profits that should not be left by the wayside.

The Solution:
The market for Grab and Go options have consistently risen since the outbreak of COVID-19 (read our report here). Between this trend and the increase in beverage sales, extended grab and go options are a must have for any C-Store, Market, Coffee Shop, or Café concept.

With a huge selection of grab and go merchandisers including traditional open-air displays as well as upright merchandisers like Futuro or United. Adding or expanding your grab and go beverage selection has never been easier or more cost effective!

Sustainable Food Service Solutions

The Trend:
Leaning towards more environmentally safe materials and practices is perhaps more than just a trend. It has been a years long shift that is beginning to resemble something closer to normalcy. The good news is, this means sustainable solutions are widespread and easily available, with new technologies entering the market every day.

The Solution:
Cork Core Display Cases, Solar Powered Pushcarts and a huge line of extremely energy efficient units. GTI Designs has always worked to utilize sustainable solutions. It is important to us that we protect our customers’ products, as well as our beautiful world.
