Brand KPI profile

Is mission Impossible a success?

Over 60 percent of U.S. meat alternatives consumers are familiar with Impossible. However, only 30 percent of respondents state they actually like the brand and the same share consumes Impossible’s plant-based products while 23 percent of the U.S. meat substitute users had noticed the brand in (social) media or advertising in the past three months before our survey.

Generations

Generation X are Impossible consumers

When comparing brand KPIs across generations, it’s clear that Gen X is the most familiar with Impossible in the United States. This generation also consumes, likes, and notices the brand more often than Gen Z, Millennials, or Baby Boomers.

Life values

Safety and security are less of a concern for Impossible consumers

While both Impossible meat substitutes consumers and non-consumers agree that a happy relationship is the most important aspect in life, the ranking of other life values differs slightly. One of the largest differences can be seen in the importance of safety and security. Among Impossible customers, only 33 percent consider safety and security to be one of the three most important aspects in life, compared to 38 percent of non-consumers.
