Canned Fish and Canned Vegetables account for about a fifth of the market each, but Canned Fruit, Canned Soups and Canned Meat are also important markets.
The US and Canada are rather static markets in value terms, whilst Mexico is growing at single digit annual rates. Canned Vegetables, Canned petfoods are notably more interesting markets from the growth perspective.

Foodservice represents 15% in aggregate across all segments, however, Canned Fruit, Canned Vegetables and Canned Fish represent a higher percentage.

The top-8 most important suppliers account for about 76% of the market. Of these, Del Monte and Tri Valley are as expected dominant. The picture may be different of course at the individual product level, and in some segments important local players are cited by Food For Thought.

Opportunities for investment and development exist to further consolidate the individual segments or to even introduce new brands. The report also highlights own-label accounts for less than 5% of the market, with this segment being of course far less represented in Mexico.

Food For Thought food and drinks market reports cover 114 products and 32 product categories in each country researched.

Edible oils (olive oil and other edible oils) dominate this market, followed by standard butter and margarine.  As expected, cooking fats is the smallest segment.

The aggregate market is not growing when considered in value terms, but there are notable differences by segment, which is why the report is a useful tool in the hands of strategy decision makers. Cooking fats has been declining sharply over the past 5 years and the fastest growth has been recorded by Other Dairy Spreads and Other Non-dairy Spreads.

Foodservice represents about 30% of the aggregate market for the region, but there are substantial variations across the specific product segments and countries in this category, with olive oil having the highest percentage of demand in the foodservice segment.

As it would be expected, the supply structure is very different across countries and products. In aggregate, the top-8 players accounting for 49% of the market value. The dominant players are ConAgra, Smuckers, Stratas, Unilever, Grupo SOS, however, the market structure is very different at the individual category and/or country level and the report is useful tool for identifying gaps in the market and business opportunities.

Own-label has a strong foothold in this market, with about 24% of the aggregate sales, the percentage is rather static.

Beer is the largest segment of the market, with over 1/3 of sales expressed in blended retail and foodservice buy-in prices, followed by Still Wine. As expected, Sparkling Wine is the smaller segment.

The aggregate market is not growing when considered in value terms, but there are notable differences by segment, which is why the report is a useful tool in the hands of strategy decision makers. Beer and Sparkling Wines are still growing whilst Spirits and Still Wines are declining.

Foodservice represents about one third of the aggregate market for the region, but there are substantial variations across the specific product segments and countries in this category.

As it would be expected, the supply is rather fragmented, with top-8 players accounting for 35% of the aggregate market. The dominant players are L’Arche Green, Carlsberg, Pernod Ricard and Diageo, however, the market structure is very different at the individual category and/or country level and the report is useful tool for identifying gaps in the market and business opportunities.

Own-label has a reasonably foothold in this market, with about 8% of the aggregate sales, the percentage is rather static.

This is a category which is traditionally driven by innovation and yet there has been relatively little in the way of new product activity over the past 12 months. A new generation of low calorie lines is likely to be the catalyst to stimulate sales but this is not expected to materialise during the year. Current consumption is overwhelmingly of ambient products which account for more than three-quarters of total sales, growing share slightly during the year. Once the economy begins to recover it is expected that most of the incremental volume to be given over to shelf stable products.

Red Bull is expected to maintain its leading position with its product further penetrating the national market.
The company plans to expand its Xianning plant’s annual capacity by almost a third in 2012, which is expected to help the company to consolidate its leading position in central China and drive overall category growth as well. One caveat to this high growth, however, is that in February 2012, Red Bull was caught up in some controversy concerning its production. A television report in Heilongjiang province reported that the product might contain some unauthorized food additives. After this news was reported, although Red Bull strenuously denied the claims, some large supermarkets like Carrefour removed the products from their store shelves. On 13 February, Red Bull was able to prove the qualification of its products following an inspection report from the ‘National Food Quality Supervision and Inspection Center’. Although the issue was quickly resolved, it remains to be seen if it will have had a significant impact on Red Bull’s overall performance in 2012.

Most beverage industry commodity costs have eased back after a couple of years of sustained growth

Economic recovery in the USA is increasingly being described as protracted, meaning that it is taking much longer than anticipated for business activity to respond to the significant levels of investment and liquidity that have been pumped into the economy.

Most beverage industry commodity costs have eased back after a couple of years of sustained growth with sugar down 10%, orange juice down nearly 20%, aluminium down 18% and PET down 4%; meanwhile HFCS costs have risen by around 12%.

Many beverage (and food) manufacturers are endeavouring to provide as much choice as possible to retailers meaning that their own resources need to be highly flexible, especially in terms of packaging so that they can tailor products and packs to meet the needs of individual retailers and channels.

Visual impact, cost reduction and functionality all recognised in Canadean’s 2012 survey of packaging industry professionals as important drivers of innovation

In an increasingly fast moving and competitive marketplace, innovation in packaging continues to play a key role in new product development and branding in the global beverage sector.

Beverage markets continue to become more competitive and sophisticated as manufacturers and marketers increasingly look to develop products to satisfy regional preferences, rather than adopting a ‘one size fits all’ approach. The industry is also addressing the specific needs of identified target segments based on a range of criteria including age, gender, lifestyle and purchasing power.

Packaging innovation is required to meet the various and changing needs of all sections of the supply chain – from the manufacturer through to the consumer – within an increasingly demanding regulatory environment.

Canada Cider Market Insights, 2012

The cider market in Canada had for years traditionally been two-tiered

The cider market in Canada is in a period of rapid transition. Cider has long been domestically produced and commercially distributed in Canada as well as being imported (principally from the UK). However, it has only re-emerged as a beverage of interest for mainstream consumers since 2005.

Cider was a very popular choice in Canada for many generations, however by the early 1900s tastes had transitioned to other drinks (particularly beer) with cider becoming a very small volume beverage, highly regionalized and produced by small local producers. For the most part, beer producers and in particular the major brewers did not produce ciders and as such cider did not gain the advantage of their large distribution networks. The emergence of craft beers as a significant category in the beer segment has brought with it a renewed curiosity not only with respect to beer but also with respect to other beverages such as ice wine and ciders.

The market is currently enjoying significant growth both through marketing efforts supporting cider as trendy and fashionable while at the same time eliminating the common perception that it is simply “overly sweet-apple juice with alcohol” – a stigma long attached to cider and quickly being replaced with a new appreciation for cider as a serious category.

The cider market in Canada had for years traditionally been two-tiered, with premium ciders represented by imports such as Strongbow and Magners while high quality domestic ciders such as Growers and Okanagan

Extra were generally pushed toward the discount categories with no real export market developed.

The recent emergence of cider as a legitimate beverage category in Canada along with the marketing effort of the breweries in support of Alexander Keith’s and Seagram’s among others is predicted to move the market in 2012 to a more balanced import/export trade.
