NielsenIQ BASES Announces 2022 Breakthrough Innovation Award Winners

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, NielsenIQ BASES, a leader in helping companies build brands through innovation, proudly announces the 2022 North American Breakthrough Innovation Award winners. In its 11th year, the 2022 awards recognize 36 innovative products across personal care, diet and nutrition, beverage alcohol, food, pet care, beverages, snacks, and home care.

This year’s Breakthrough Innovation Team reviewed thousands of product launches introduced during a pivotal time in the consumer packaged goods market. This year’s winners have successfully navigated a constant state of crisis, including the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain challenges and unprecedented inflationary pressures. These challenging times have led to a 19% decrease in the number of innovations from 2019-2021; even so, these brands have been able to break through and win with consumers.

“This year’s award recognizes great products from established brands and new players that have successfully disrupted the market, said Ramon Melgarejo, Managing Director, NielsenIQ BASES. “We are excited to welcome 36 new products to the Breakthrough Innovation hall of fame that place consumers at the center of the innovation process with a strong product differentiation and tailored activation.”
