Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

The season is about to change to fall, but sales of American’s favorite fall flavor are already hot! Products made with pumpkin flavor are already up 10% in dollar growth and up 7% in unit volume.

What’s interesting is the sales of pumpkin pie filling have dropped a bit, by 1%, but still remains the number one pumpkin-related flavor. The rest of the top five categories by sales where pumpkin is used include dog food, liquid coffee creamer, packaged coffee, and ready-to-eat cereal.

And while pumpkin spice seems to be in everything, the sales of pumpkin spice seasoning has not seen any benefit.
