2009 Food Industry Review

FOREWORD
As retail sales in the U.S. fell in 2008 for the first time since the government began keeping
records 40 years ago, food-based retailers took a bigger share of all retail trade. Foodbased retailers accounted for 23.6% of all retail trade in 2008 well above the 22.4% share
held in 2007 and 22.2% in 2006. The reverberating impact of consumers cutting back on retail expenditures and the highest food price inflation in 28 years contributed to the change.
Food price inflation during 2008, for all food, both at-home and away-from home, hit 5.5%
during the year. Meanwhile, the recession forced consumers to more closely watch their
budgets, and food expenditures was a primary area where they could exercise significant
control. As a result, food and beverage store sales accounted for 1.3% of all retail sales in
2008 up sharply from the 9.8% level of the prior two years. Foodservice and drinking place
sales, meanwhile, took a 10.3% piece of the retail pie, compared to 12.6% in 2007 and
12.4% in 2006.

Since 1985, The Food Institute has scoured thousands of information sources, and hundreds of periodicals in print and online, association reports, government data and industry
studies, all of which are digested into the Food Industry Review. This is a direct extension of
the Food Institute Report, which has been produced each week since 1928 following the
same concept. As always, the 2009 edition is chock full of information on supermarkets,
warehouse clubs, c-stores and foodservice operators. And with the plethora of information
now available online, it has never been more important to have access to information in one
place on the entire food industry, from farm to fork.
RETAILING FORMATS
... The weak economy is weighing heavily on consumer minds as well as their spending, and
food retailers need to continue to offer new and innovative private label products and keep
abreast of new technologies and trends to solidify consumer loyalty. Non-traditional store
formats are gaining ground on traditional supermarkets, but both traditional and non-traditional designs need to carry the strategies learned during the economic downturn into the
future to ensure success.
FMI SPEAKS: STRONG SALES INCREASE OFFSET BY INFLATION
Supermarket industry sales increased 5.2% in 2008, and identical-store sales rose 4.5%, but
these gains were offset by the 5.7% food-at-home inflation rate last year, according to the
2009 Food Retailing Industry Speaks: Annual State of the Industry Review released by the
Food Marketing

Regarding the future, retailers reported increasing concern over the impact of numerous issues, notably the economy. The impact of issues, measured on a one-to-10 scale with 10
being the highest, increased for almost every issue, comparing the rating in 2008 with the
expected impact in 2009/2010. For the first time in the six years FMI tracked concern levels, retailers rated the impact of

prominently. Private brand products now

comprise 9% of the items carried in a typical
store, an increase from 8% in 2008 and 7%
in 2007. About 93% of retailers plan to increase the number of these products.
Private label now accounts for 15% of supermarket sales, up from 14% in 2008 and
11.5% in 2007. Private brand sales increased
10.8% in 2008, more than twice the industrys overall growth rate and well above the
2.5 growth rate for manufacturer brands.
Lastly, about half of all supermarkets offer
savings through frequent shopper or loyalty
card programs, and rate their success at
7.3, up from 6.4. Some 69% of consumers
claim the recession is affecting their grocery
shopping, according to FMIs 2009 U.S. Grocery Shopper Trends report. The typical
company added 2,000 new products to
store shelves and removed the same
amount. About 25% of food retailers added
and removed at least twice as many items,
changing the mix of more than 20% of the
products carried in their stores. However,
supermarkets are looking to be competitive
in ways besides price.
Nearly all (97%) emphasize perishables to

gain a competitive advantage and give it the

highest success rating at 8.1, although this

figure is down from 8.4 in 2008. In addition, 68.4% are focusing on consumer wellness and family health as a competitive strategy,
rating its effectiveness at 5.6. Retailers continued efforts to spend their ad dollars more effectively, relying less on the mass media and more on targeted campaigns. In fact, newspaper advertising fell below half of ad spending to 48.6%, from 52.2% the previous year.
... In order to survive the current and ongoing recession, food companies need to take into
account the importance of bringing in and keeping consumers using the tactics outlined in
the previous two reports.
TOP 10 COMPANIES SALES VOLUME REMAINS STEADY IN 2008
The 75 largest food retailers and wholesalers in the U.S. and Canada combined to produce
$893.1 billion in revenues in 2008, up 7.6% from the preceding year, according to Supermarket News Top 75 list. The sales volume includes revenues from both food and nonfood merchandise for the companies current or recently ended fiscal years. The volume increase
reflects both the high levels of food inflation, estimated at about 5% to 6% for the year, combined with traffic growth at the chains on the list. The 10 largest companies on the list accounted for about 68.7% of the total volume on the list, the same proportion as a year ago.
2
Those 10 largest food retailers had combined revenues of $613.2 billion, up 7.5%, or $42.9 billion, over year-ago levels. They accounted for about two-thirds of the increase in volume among
the entire Top 75. The top 20 companies on this years list had revenues of $732.9 billion, up
about 7.6% over year-ago volume levels. Those 20 largest operators accounted for 82.1% of the
total volume among the Top 75, almost exactly the same as a year ago.

... The reason that the top 10 companies have remained fairly steady over the past few years
is that they have learned to listen to what consumers are asking for, and deliver it. Food retailers face a tough situation in the future, and introducing new company policies, technologies and improving overall efficiency will help ensure that there will be a future.
RETAILERS INTRODUCE NEW TECHNOLOGIES
Many retailers are using new technologies aimed at improving consumer shopping experiences, adding convenience and improving business practices. Two unnamed U.S. grocerystore chains are testing an electronic shelf label (ESL) system in several of their stores on
the East and West coasts, reported RFID Journal (Mar. 30). The ESL system created by Altierre comprises of radio frequency identification (RFID)-based technology and LCD display
screens that attach to store shelves in order to identify products and their prices. Each ESL
includes an RFID chip, which stores the products stock-keeping unit (SKU). Pricing updates
for these items are received electronically via an internet connection. Employees who utilize
a handheld interrogator can also manage the system. On average, consumers purchase
around 10% more during
every visit and increase the

Stores just cant keep up

with fast price changes, according to Sunit Saxena, Altierres chairman and CEO.
With the ESL system, a store
can update product information displayed on 10,000
items in less than an hour.
Stores that use the system
typically install two RFID
readers capable of controlling 25,000 shelf labels
across a sales floor measuring 50,000-sq. ft. Altogether,
RFID technology allows retailers to eliminate millions of
paper labels a year.
Aholds Stop & Shop introduced Modiv Media Inc.s
Scan It! hand-held scanning
devices in several of its Con-
necticut stores in early 2009, reported the Hartford Courant (Apr. 12). As consumers walk
down the aisles, the devices enable them to keep a running total of the groceries they scan
and bag. Customers then pay at a self-service station at the end of their shopping trip without having to take anything out of their shopping carts. Further, the scanner alerts consumers of manufacturer discounts, some of which are offered exclusively via the scanner
program. Walgreen Co. made its in-store promotional displays more effective by using the
Goliath system, a marketing intelligence system that tracks display execution at store level,
reported Chain Drug Review (Apr. 6). Using long-range RFID technology, Goliath determines
the location of specially tagged displays and tracks their movement and removal throughout
each 24-hour period. With this system, retailers can remedy incorrectly executed displays
and determine optimum placement for future displays. The results have been impressive,
stated Walgreen vice president of purchasing David Van Howe. Over the past year our instore execution has grown to nearly double the industry average.
MAJOR OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND IN SUSTAINABLITY PROGRAMS
Reducing waste, limiting carbon emissions and developing sustainable agriculture are the
three pillars food retailers should build on in creating programs to address consumers
growing environmental concerns in 2009 and beyond, claims a Coca-Cola Retailing Research
Council Global Retail Perspective, Sustainability in Retailing. At the same time, such programs can improve retailers customer service, operating efficiencies, profitability, and reputations. Indeed, food retailers should view environmentally friendly policies as an
opportunity to cement customer relations in a highly effective way, while also benefiting
from efficiencies.
For example, many efficiencies flow from reducing waste. Retailer participation opportunities depend largely on cooperation with suppliers, especially in terms of supply chain collaboration relative to such initiatives as eliminating or reducing packaging, rethinking interim
packaging required for store delivery, redesigning store delivery of bulk items, and downsizing materials needed for shelf displays. The report cites as a success story the reusable
green trays pioneered by Tesco nearly a decade ago and subsequently adopted by many retailers to replace packaging. The green trays made 222 million trips globally in 2007, saving
an estimated 130,000 metric tons of cardboard. Eliminating or reducing packaging is an important focus. For example, H-E-B turned reusable bags into a top seller with prominent
checkstand displays.
Reducing carbon output by reducing fuel/energy consumption is a significant environmental
opportunity that is simultaneously a huge financial benefit. Retailers of all sizes are capturing lighting and refrigeration savings, frequently in cooperation with power providers.
Stores are being designed and constructed to use less energy. Supervalu included energy efficiency in a 180 remodel. Lighting, refrigeration, and mechanical equipment were all reviewed for savings prior to scoping and design. Truck fleets are benefiting from a host of
logistic management programs, truck designs, and fleet upgrades. Winn-Dixie, for example,
upgraded its fleet in 2008 with computer-shifted transmissions, fairing to reduced wind resistance, low profile tires, and trailer refrigeration units with greater capacity and efficiency.
Of the three pillars, developing sustainable agriculture has the greatest potential, but tends
to be new territory for food retailers. However, retailers, producers and suppliers are beginning to collaborate in promoting farming techniques that protect soil fertility and preserve
dwindling clean water supplies. Tesco, for example, has a code of practice, Natures Choice,
5
that emphasizes water assessment and management. Balls

is important, suggests the report, that the retail industry take a strong leadership role, especially in engaging the consumer, in developing next steps. Retailers will need to be able
to effectively measure impacts, review all aspects of their operations, and use technology as
effectively as possible to not only satisfy customer concerns and needs, but to also reap
productivity gains and help maintain a sustainable planet.

RETAILERS CUT VARIETY TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY

The retail industry is enacting wide-reaching changes, influenced by the varied repercussions of the 2008-2009 recession. A multitude of factors are forcing food retailers to make
adjustments to their philosophy just as consumers adjust their own purchasing considerations, possibly permanently. Supermarkets and other food retail outlets are re-evaluating
everything from large-scale expansion plans down to the products that fill store shelves in
an attempt to maximize efficiency. Some of the largest retailers, including Wal-Mart Stores
Inc. and Kroger Co., were expected by industry executives and analysts to reduce product
assortment by at least 15% in 2009, according to The Wall Street Journal (June 26). By devoting more resources to a limited amount of goods and brands that occupy the same
space, retailers hope to benefit through addition by subtraction. Although the prospect of
reducing variety in supermarkets is not particularly new, the retail environment changed
since retailers added more items in an attempt to compete with Wal-Mart and Costco Wholesale Corp. in the 1990s. Nearly 47,000 distinct products filled a typical food retailers
shelves by 2008, an increase of over 50% from 1996, according to data from the Food Marketing Institute. Reacting to the need for more products, Mintel data found that producers
in the packaged goods industry launched 47,113 new products in 2008, more than double
the amount introduced in 1998.
Today, consumers are shopping with slimmer budgets and investors are responding more
to sales growth in existing stores than to new store expansion. Retailers are also having an
easier time identifying which products are worth keeping and which are not through the implementation of customer information databases containing sales and individual shopping
behavior. Technological improvements, combined with the advent of loyalty cards and customer membership programs, made this information more accessible than ever before. Not
only does the information in the databases predict surges in demand and prevent items
from going out-of-stock, they also grant leverage in negotiations with distributors, retailers
claim.
Another change in the contemporary retail environment is the success of private label and
house brands. With the perception of quality of private label brands approaching that of na6

The viability of private labels is allowing retailers to be more selective with inventory decisions and provides power for retailers to wield over distributors and manufacturers.
Retailers are now working to decrease the number of items offered, appealing to bargainseeking customers who want to simplify their shopping trips and return to what is familiar.
Customers can be confused by the large number of products available, often making product selection more difficult than is necessary. Catherine Lindner, Walgreens divisional vice
president for marketing development, stated that the constant addition of more items to
shelves only left customers feeling bombarded. Over the past 10 years, the number of items
in a Walgreen store rose more than 19%, but the number purchased per trip increased only
2% as customers end up buying nothing when forced to select from such an assortment, Ms.
Lindner claimed. Research conducted by Wal-Mart found that customers spent an average
of 22 minutes in a Wal-Mart store and suggested that wide product variety decreased the
number of items a customer placed in their shopping baskets.
... The reason retailers need to keep up-to-date on consumer trends, desires and needs because there is too much competition to risk losing a dedicated customer. Consumers have
come to the point that loyalty to one store does not override the fact that money may be
tight. Proper aggressive pricing is fundamental to keeping a store relevant in the eyes of
the value-minded consumer.

Trends Channel Migration: The Blurring of Shopper Loyalty Report (August). These channel
migration patterns reinforce the notion that the need for value remains strong and consumers are willing to shop wherever they can to attain that value. Benefiting the most from
this shopper influx is the supercenter channel, with 65.9% of households shopping the
channel. Dollar stores are also seeing the benefit, with 53.8% of households claiming to regularly shop the channel.
In-Store Money Saving Behavior In 2008
Consumers are also making more trips for goods. As the price of gasoline dropped in 2009,
average purchase occasions per household across all shopping channels increased 3.5%
over 2008. Dollar stores benefited the most from this increase, with average purchase occasions per household increasing 10% versus 2008. With trip frequency again making positive
strides, average per-trip expenditures moderated slightly. Though down from 2008, when
CPG prices were especially high, average basket size is growing at a reasonable rate. Opportunity to grow basket size still remains but is dependent on the ability to tie marketing
strategies to key shopper needs. For example, dollar store basket size increased 5% versus
last year. Much of that growth stems from center store categories such as spaghetti sauce,
rice and salad dressing. While supercenters continue to gain share across departments,
other channels are also demonstrating gains in select departments. Mass merchandisers
gained a 0.1-point change in the frozen foods category in 2009, the most of any channel,
where as club stores experienced a 0.3-point gain in the fresh/perishable foods category in
2009. As meal-away-from home prices were expected to increase 3.5% to 4.5% in 2009,
meals eaten at home wete also expected to rise. For retailers of food and beverages, this allowed for significant growth.
Amidst changes in consumer shopping behavior, grocery club and dollar store retailers are
holding onto and even growing share among top channel shoppers. Grocers loyal shoppers, in particular, appear to stay within the channel. However, across some channels, including supercenters and dollar stores, some heavy shopper dollars are going to other
8
channels. For example, heavy dollar store shoppers are spending more in the grocery channel, while heavy club shoppers are allocating an increased share of spending to supercenters. The heavy grocery category gained a 1.5-point dollar share in 2009 versus 2008,
while the heavy dollar category gained a 0.5-point dollar share.
RETAILERS CAN DRIVE PROFITABLE GROWTH WITH GOOD PRICING STRATEGIES
Consulting firm Willard Bishop defined a series of retail pricing guidelines that supermarket
operators used in 2009 to strengthen their price image, build transactions and drive profitable growth in their report Retail Pricing 2009: 12 Trends That Are Driving Success in
Willard Bishop Competitive Edge (December). In a consumer environment that features much
reduced personal wealth, rising joblessness, expenditure reduction and rising food costs,
grocery retailers need to develop sharper pricing strategies and implement them more intensely than ever before. However, far from being a defensive strategy to limit losing customers from traditional supermarkets to supercenters, limited-assortment units and dollar
stores pricing guidelines can be positioned as an opportunity to provide consumers what
they need at the price they want. The result can be the profitable expansion of a grocers
business.
The most important tenet of developing a profitable pricing strategy is to understand that
such programs do not deliver results quickly. To make them work, retailers have to commit
long-term and stay the course with determination to realize larger transactions, sales
growth and profit increments. Moreover, those strategies should be applied at the category
level, and each category in the store needs to be assigned a role, such as destination, routine, convenience, etc. and an intent, such as transaction-building or profit-generating.
But technology is very important too, and advanced pricing technologies such as price management and price optimization systems are integral to success. However, unregulated use
of pricing technologies can have disastrous consequences, and it is vital to use them with
the firm guidance of a comprehensive pricing strategy. The Willard Bishop report also points
out that price optimization cycles at leading chains are accelInside the Market Basket

customer. The traditional mass market mantra, in which all shoppers receive the same
prices and offers, does not work as well in the current economic climate. It is important to
be able to achieve what Willard Bishop terms scaleable customer intimacy. For example,
this can mean developing value propositions for defined clusters of targeted shoppers and
deploying a variety of carefully selected new media to reach them, including shopper cell
phones, kiosks, shelf-edge devices and personal scanners. Indeed, during 2008, there were
major changes in retailer price communication efforts due to the recognition among leading
chains that efforts at creating a price image are wasted unless the message is well communicated. While this includes general savings-based messages, signage, promotional shelf
tags and display merchandising, also included are endcaps with large, bold signs visible
across the store and similar tactics.
Allied with this point is the importance of enhancing promotional spend effectiveness. The
Willard Bishop report warns against basing promotions strictly on supplier funding and simply repeating what was promoted the same week a year earlier. Instead, a good strategy
calls for promotions to be founded on such criteria of growing incremental sales, improving
price image and maximizing supplier ROI. Vital to the creation of a price image is to increase the sophistication of retailers private label. This means offering consumers not only
the basic national brand equivalents, but also providing several tiers of choice, including
premium private brands and second-tier/value private label. Premium brands differentiate a
retailer, and many grocery chains report that this tier is on a fast-track growth trend. However, a value brand can be an outstanding instrument for creating a price image. Designed
to provide the best value in the category, such items appeal to specification buyers who
seek extreme values, frequently at low-price outlets competing with the grocery channel.
The Willard Bishop report also points out that price image benefits flow from focusing on
key items and key shoppers. Retailers are achieving results by selecting known-value items
using criteria such as sales at the chain and in the market, as well as sales with the merchants top
shoppers.

price elasticity. Just because

an item when it is priced low, or is an elastic item, does not mean that the product at a discounted price will be a strong driver of store visits and image. It is important for retailers to
carefully identify those items that impact price image and trigger store visits.
Retailers do not exist in a vacuum, and a key guideline is to maintain constant surveillance
of competitors prices. Indeed, grocery chains are more often conducting competitive price
checks with outside services, such as Retail Data LLC, to ensure timely and accurate information. In addition, working closely with manufacturers relative to pricing strategies is an
important activity. A progressive application of price optimization technology, for example,
calls for retailers to model proposed supplier deals through retailer price optimization systems to estimate the expected impact of deals and programs and category performance. Industry leaders are hedging their bets by carefully honing their pricing strategies to develop
sales and profits.
MORE RETAILERS LOWER PRICES IN RESPONSE TO COMPETITION

Price Coupons. Prior to the week of Aug. 17, 2009, each coupon had a one-item limit. Now,
while some coupons still have a one-item limit, others allow two, three or more items, reported Supermarket News (Sept. 1). Four Super Price Coupons are usually offered each
week.
Ralphs is also making significant reductions in produce prices and other goods. Both are
using yellow tags and signs to call attention to the reduced prices. The chains are managing
the cuts due to a steep price decline in many food commodities including milk and grains as
well as reductions in shipping expenses due to a drop in oil prices, reported The Los Angeles Times. Ralphs controls 18.2% of the grocery market in Los Angeles and Orange counties,
according to research firm Shelby Report. Vons is No. 2 with about 14.8%. Albertsons, which
has also reduced prices on many products in recent months, is No. 3 with 12.4% and Trader

market share, according to Nielsen, is cutting prices on some items by up to 30% in response to increasing competition. The chain,
owned by Safeway, did not specify an average price reduction. The reductions will apply to a
range of products at Dominicks 81 Chicagoland stores, reported The Chicago Tribune (Aug.
27). The move follows a reduction implemented by Jewel-Osco, which boasts the areas
highest market share at 39%, noted Nielsen. Jewel launched its Big Relief Price Cut, which
cut prices by up to 20%, in April. Price competition is increasing, and its not everywhere,
but its in an awful lot of places and its kind of a coming thing, stated Jim Hertel, a managing partner with Willard Bishop. Aholds Giant Food and Stop & Shop launched initiatives
that will double the number of sale items each week. The retailers also introduced new shelf
tags and in-store signage, along with redesigned loyalty cards. Customers can register their
cards online and create their own shopping profile, view store services and track savings
and reward programs.
... While appropriate pricing is a major factor in store survival, size does matter in the food
retail market. In response, some of the biggest companies are adapting to the changing
U.S. consumer and their needs. Changing the size of the store may be a way to convince
customers that some of the largest companies are more consumer-oriented and flexible.

Aldi stores are designed to cut costs by eliminating in-store banking, pharmacies, bagging
clerks, check cashing, and photo processing. In
addition, stores are typically open only during
peak hours9AM to 7PM or 8PM Monday
through Saturday and 12PM to 5PM on Sunday
allowing the company to cut back on electrical
and other operating costs. Aldi operates more than 950 stores in the U.S., (8,500 worldwide). In 2008, more than 100 new stores were opened throughout the U.S., including entry
into two new markets, Rhode Island and Florida. There are plans to open 100 more new
stores in 2009, including expanding into Texas.
BASHAS FILES FOR CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY
Bashas Inc., the Chandler, AZ-based 77-year-old grocery chain with 158 stores, filed for
Chapter 11 protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in July, attributing its woes to the collapse of
the Arizona housing market, consumers reducing their spending, the weakened economy
and an ongoing dispute with the United Commercial Foodworkers Union. The privatelyowned company, which claims it is not seeking a buyer and has no plans to shut down,
stated that business will proceed normally and that they expect to exit bankruptcy at the
end of first-quarter 2010, reported Phoenix Business Journal (July 13). The company closed
10 stores on July 21, 2009 but has no plans to eliminate any of its banners, which include

and AJs Fine Foods, an upscale concept. All but MARKETSIDE ADAPTS TO CHANGING ECONOMY

the country, stated Bashas former president
Mike Proulx. Wal-Mart also is testing its smallformat store Marketside by Wal-Mart in the city.
Wal-Mart is now the market leader in the
Phoenix area, boasting about a 30% market
share, according to AZCentral.com (July 14).

Meanwhile, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. quietly changed

the name and logo on its four Marketside grocery
stores to Marketside by Wal-Mart in 2009, according to East Valley Tribune (June 10). The logo,
which once appeared to be stacked fruits or vegetables, was replaced by the new Wal-Mart logo. The
company probably decided it was more advantageous to capitalize on its image as a low-cost
leader in the retail and grocery store industry,
claims David J. Livingston, a supermarket industry
consultant.
Wal-Mart had 0% grocery share in 1999. Bashas market share decreased from 18% to 16%
over the same period. Frys dropped from 34% to about 25%. Walmart opened four Marketside stores in the Phoenix, AZ area, presenting Marketside as a convenient, affordable grocer offering customers fresh food and prepared meals. For Walmart, Marketside represents
a departure from their department store model, though it offers the discounted prices that
have brought its parent retailer success with the trademarked deliciously affordable slogan. The stores are about 15,000-sq. ft., compared to the average 187,000-sq. ft. Wal-Mart
Supercenter. Marketside emphasizes its comparatively tiny retail space, classifying itself as
a small store packed with big values, according to a Marketside store manager.
Mr. Proulx noted that Bashas has no plans to expand nationally and instead will seek to attract shoppers who want to support a local Arizona business, according to The Associated
Press. However, although loyalty is still important to consumers, value is what is really driving the market and consumers will frequent the stores with the best deals, stated Burt
Flickinger, a retail analyst with Strategic Resource Group, reported AZCentral.com.

Altogether, Big-Box discounters

such as Target, Kmart, Meijer and
Walmart intended to open 200 stores in 2009, while 28 stores were expected to close.
Warehouse clubs Costco, BJs and Sams expected to open 48 stores in total for the year and
close about four. The drugstore channel expected to experience a total growth of 847
stores in 2009, but at the same time will close 216 locations.
Dollar stores and deep discount stores expected 945 new stores in 2009, while 110 existing
locations are set to shutter their doors. The number of announced store closing in 2008
spiked to the highest level since 2004. This clearly reflected the severity and rapidity of the
deterioration in the economy and its impact on the retail sector, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC). However, the ICSCs data showed an improvement from 2008s high level of store closures. So far this year, 2,284 store closings were
announced for 2009, compared with 2,785 during the same time period in 2008.

Stater Bros. Overall, grocers earned higher marks than in Consumer Reports last supermarket survey in 2005 for
service, checkout speed, private label quality, baked goods and produce but no one chain
was ranked No. 1 in every category. Overall, respondents found Trader Joes, Costco, Market
Basket, WinCo, Aldi and Sav-a-Lot to offer lower prices than other chains. Wegmans and
Whole Foods were highlighted for their high-quality meat and produce. Wegmans, Trader
Joes and Raleys earned high service scores.
The largest percentage of survey respondents shop at Wal-Mart (14%). However, the chain
landed near the bottom of the magazines rankings due in part to low service and perishable scores. Target proved better than many chains but has only 200 locations with a
fullservice supermarket. Consumers complained most often about not enough open checkout lanes. Wal-Mart was the worst offender: Half of the respondents who shopped there
said that not enough lanes were open. Congested aisles and out-of stock advertised specials were also cited as problematic. Lower prices are proving paramount to shoppers; some
33% reported that they switched stores to save money. Consumer Reports cited several
growing supermarket trends, including more visible value brands, expanded bonus-card
programs, website specials, longer sales, discount drugs and more coupons.
KROGER FOCUSES ON HOUSE BRANDS, TRACKING SYSTEM TO GAIN SALES
With $12.5 billion annually in sales of private label products alone, Kroger is benefiting
from the economic downturn, according to The Los Angeles Times. The chain is staying
slightly ahead of its competitors, gaining 5% sales growth in the fiscal year ended Jan. 31,
2009, as compared to less than 1% for Safeway and a 1.2% decline for Supervalu. According
to industry analysts, Krogers success is probably tied to its efforts to attract bargain
hunters, aided by its exhaustive electronic tracking of customers shopping patterns and a
push into marketing house brands. In terms of house brands, the company uses advertising tactics most often seen used with brand names, such as members of Krogers loyalty
club receiving coupons and special offers for Kroger goods.
The aforementioned electronic tracking program refers to Krogers partnership with
Dunnhumby, which provides many insights to shopper trends by helping the company determine which promotions and sales will be the most successful based on collected consumer data. We send our very best customers coupon books specifically targeted at what
they actually buy, explained Kroger CEO David Dillon. The redemption rate of these

Ralphs stores have an expanded wine

while a value store will be much more

Kroger to identity which items matter

price and prevents the company from
discounting products that would sell at
higher prices.

losing steam in the face of the economic
slowdown. The company is putting longterm profitability aside by staying fully staffed and lowering prices in hopes of keeping existing customers and attracting new ones, according to the Wall Street Journal (Apr. 23).
Publix is always at its best when the economy is at its worst, stated Burt Flickinger, managing director for Strategic Resource Group, a supermarket industry consultant. Competitors
are now cutting back on contracting, and thats when Publix sees the most opportunities for
expansion.
Net Income Before Taxes and
Extraordinary Items
In terms of growth, Publix opened 79 stores in 2008. It also acquired 49 stores from Albertsons Inc. for $500 million. Kroger Co. opened 60 stores in 2008, while Whole Food Markets
opened 20 and Supervalu Inc. added 14 stores in 2008. In terms of annualized sales, Publix
had the second highest annualized sales per square foot, $548, second only to Whole
Foods $820, according to fourth-quarter 2008 sales calculated by Andrew Wolf, an analyst
with BB&T Capital Markets. Kroger, Supervalu and
PUBLIX TO OPEN HYBRID-ORGANIC STORE
Safeway Inc. all had sales figures at their supermarket-format stores between $460 and $490.
Publix Super Markets plans to open a hybridorganic supermarket in Naples, FL. Slated to
open in the second half of 2010, the concept
will be a combination of a GreenWise Market
store and a standard-format store, reported
Progressive Grocer (Aug. 30).
In response to rising commodity and transportation

costs, the company launched Publix Essentials, a
program that lowered prices for consumers by 20%
on staple items such as milk, bread and laundry detergent. The company also started programs to suggest meal plans that help customers stay
within their allotted grocery budgets. Publix is also avoiding cutting staff, which is resulting
in faster service times than other grocery stores in the bakery, deli and checkout sections.
Faster service is a key factor to consumer satisfaction. The company generally has eight to
10 employees working in the deli, where as other grocers usually have one or two. Accord16
ing to Todd Jones, president of Publix Supermarkets Inc., customer service is more important than ever as more companies enter the business of selling food.
SUPERVALU UNVEILS COST-CUTTING MEASURES
Minneapolis-based Supervalu Inc. closed 50 stores as part of its strategic cost-cutting moves
in 2008, stated chairman and CEO Jeff Noddle. Many of the stores slated for closure were
among those stores Supervalu acquired when Albertsons was sold in 2006, according to the
Idaho Statesman (Jan. 8). The company, with estimated annual sales of $45 billion in 2008
and approximately 2,500 retail grocery locations, is contending with mounting pressure
from discounters such as Wal-Mart and slower sales due to changing consumer buying patterns. Mr. Noddle identified impulse areas such as in-store coffee bars, flower shops and
meat counters experiencing changed buying habits during this challenging economic climate.
Sales were expected to remain steady into 2010, but price has become a key criteria when
customers are choosing a

focus on improving labor efficiency and loss prevention to cut costs. Supervalu announced
its fiscal 2010 capital spending plan of approximately $850 million compared to an expected $1.2 billion capital spend in fiscal 2009.
Store development plans for fiscal 2010 will focus on remodels including 85 to 95 major
store remodels, 40 to 45 minor store remodels, four traditional supermarkets, and approximately 50 to 60 limited stores, including licensed stores. The reduction from fiscal 2009 reflects fewer new traditional supermarkets and fewer major remodels as most of the higher
priority remodel projects have been completed, and reduced investment in technology
spending as system migration activities are completed in fiscal 2010.
TESCO TAKES NEW MARKETING APPROACH FOR FRESH & EASY
Tesco PLC is rethinking its marketing strategy for Fresh & Easy supermarkets in the U.S. as
the economic recession influences consumer purchases. While the British retailer initially
emphasized high-quality foods and Every Day Low Price promotions to distinguish itself in
the fiercely competitive U.S. grocery market, the chain is now focusing on 98-cent fruit and
vegetable packs and Everything under $1 displays. Tesco also launched its Buxted brand, a
budget meats line that includes Buxted Value Chicken Breasts at $2.99/lb, $2 less than the
Fresh & Easy brand but containing bone and rib meat. Additionally, president and chief executive of Tescos U.S. business Tim Mason is considering selling breads with preservatives
at a lower price than the breads now sold. The changes in Tescos marketing strategy come
after the company suspended new store openings for three months in 2008 and reduced

TESCO CEO: RETAILER RESPONSE NEEDED

Retailers need to respond to the recession
by changing with consumers, who are focusing more on value than other recent
shopping trends such as convenience, according to Tesco chief executive Terry
Leahy. It may demand short term pain such as investing in lower prices - but it delivers medium and long term gain, noted
the executive, reported Reuters (June 11).
growth expectations from the 200 stores it had

planned to this point, delaying that goal until November 2009.
The first store opened in November 2007. From a

business standpoint, they started out basically saying were going to invest hundreds of millions of
dollars and roll out across American starting in the
Southwest, stated Jim Hertel, managing partner at
Willard Bishop. One explanation for the slowdown,
according to Mr. Hertel, is that the company [falls] short in communicating information to
shoppers about its brands, pricing and quality, as well as some operational hiccups. One
such example is that most Americans are used to buying fresh produce without packaging,
which may imply freshness in the eyes of the consumer. Fresh & Easy offers produce wrapped
in cellophane, which may turn off some customers, explained Mr. Hertel. Another issue
would be stocking concerns, where stores would often run out of items people obviously do
want to buy.
When asked why Tesco slowed down its expansion across the U.S., company spokesman Brendan Wonnacott explained that the economy has had a bigger impact than anticipated. The
impact of the economy on these regions has been quite toughwe were opening stores at a
pretty fast pace, but given the economic climate, we thought it would be more prudent to
open at a slower pace, stated Mr. Wonnacott. The cost of the impact is quite evident in the
revenue and profit from this past year. While Tesco experienced a 13% gain in annual revenue
for the fiscal year 2008 ended Feb. 28, 2009, Fresh & Easy saw a higher-than-expected loss of
$206 million, up from $90 million the previous year.

TARGET EXPANDS FOOD OFFERINGS
Target placed a greater emphasis on food in 2009, intending to further enhance our assortment of dry, dairy and frozen [food products], and add perishable items in new and remodeled general-merchandise stores, according to president and chief executive Gregg
Steinhafel. Target made significant investments in its perishable food-distribution capabilities, reflecting our growing commitment to food, noted the executive. The retailer planned
to design the majority of its new and remodeled stores in a way that draws attention to
fresh foods and other consumables. Target also invested in technology to improve different
areas of its operations and planned an aggressive drive to emphasize low prices. The moves
were necessary to improve sales, capture market share and increase profitability in this
challenging economic environment, stated Mr. Steinhafel. The companys game plan
evokes the one Walmart has followed for years, placing a greater emphasis on prices and
carrying more consumables.

supermarkets have long used the
fresh moniker to differentiate and seasonal offerings have driven 90% of profit growth in recent years. If Walmart succeeds in cultivating the pillars, while at the same time maintaining
price advantage, they will become even more of a formidable force for retailers to compete
with. Walmart identified 15 opportunity markets with low share and potential greater than
Russia and India combined. Retailers in those markets would benefit from developing a success strategy to win over shoppers now before Walmart comes into the picture.
WALMARTS SUPERMERCADO TEST COULD LEAD TO HUNDREDS OF STORES

Walmarts Hispanic-focused Supermercado concept test in Houston and Phoenix is a smart
business move that could eventually lead to hundreds of stores, according to Willard Bishop
chairman Bill Bishop. When you take a look at the growth in the grocery business today in

However, the big question is how does

a Walmart create a more efficient supply
chain for products that are quite frankly
not going to have the same volume as
mainline Anglo products? asked Mr.
Bishop. The retailer claims that Supermercado, which features items including tripe and pigs feet, is an evolution of what weve
been doing, stated spokesperson Amy Wyatt-Moore. Ms. Wyatt-Moore claims the two stores
are the only ones planned and that they will help the retailer with its stores throughout the
U.S. that already cater to Hispanics.
... As supermarkets, supercenters and membership clubs attracted consumers with their
large variety of products at often lower prices in 2008, drug stores as a whole have experinced a decrease in sales. At the same time, more drug stores are increasing the amount of
consumables offered, hoping to capture sales from consumers seeing drug stores as a
healthy, one-stop option.

ROLE OF DRUG STORES AS SHOPPING DESTINATION DECLINES: NIELSEN

Since 1999, the percent of U.S. households shopping in drug stores dropped from 89% to
81%, according to Nielsen. Six of the top 11 top-selling categories are outside the health
and beauty care category. Tobacco leads with almost $3 billion in sales, an increase of 18%
from last year, while cold/allergy remedies, nutritional supplements, headache remedies
and chocolate candy round out the top five. In terms of growth leaders, pet care products
posted a 67% increase from last year, followed by depilatories and peanut butter. Of the
eleven categories showing the strongest growth, eight are foods. Drug retailers are feeling
the heat from mass merchandisers and other retail channels. Look for drug stores to innovate and evolve with more in-store clinics, competitive store brands, and expansion beyond
traditional health & beauty categories, stated Tom Pirovano, Director of Industry Insights at
Nielsen. Other drug store facts:
- Canned nuts is the category that has the highest drug channel private label share (64%).
- Drug stores most often skew to African Americans, households without kids, lower incomes and older households than other channels.
- Those living in cosmopolitan centers and struggling urban cores spend more of their
money in drug stores than those in suburbia or rural communities.
Meanwhile, in order to attract budget-conscious consumers who are going to restaurants

The drug channel is revamping its nutritional profile, according to Jim Lacey, CEO
of Crunchies Food Co., maker of freeze
dried fruit and vegetable snacks. Drug
chains already have an array of chips and
nuts, but are lacking in the area of more
healthful snacks, states Mr. Lacey, who expects new products such as Strawberry Banana Crunchies to be included in the chain
drugs consumables category. Theres nothing really there thats a natural snack thats
really good for you, notes Mr. Lacey. Bartell

At Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy, natural/organic items are a leading category thanks to

double-digit growth, according to president and CEO Mark Panzer. Probiotic drinks are especially well-performing, with some of our beverages growing at over 20%, Mr. Panzer stated.
In an effort to better fit into the Chain Drug channel, Kellogg Co. launched a test in April
2009 in the Detroit market of a space-saving box in its cereal category, which offers the
same amount of cereal as traditional boxes, but with less packaging. The compact packaging allows for more efficient use of retailer space and enables retailers to offer a wider variety of products, stated Kellogg morning foods marketing director Kim Miller.
... Convenience stores, as well as drug stores to some extent, stand to gain from consumers
looking for more healthful, easy food on the go. Some convenience chains have the added
benefit of gas stations, taking advantage of the fact that as gas prices come down, consumers are more apt to spend inside the store.
MANY CONVENIENCE CATEGORIES FACE DECLINE, ENERGY DRINKS TO GROW
Convenience stores are facing stiff competition from supermarkets as well as mass-merchandisers, according to Convenience Store News, but that does not necessarily mean that
all categories faced negative growth in 2009 (Jan. 26). Overall, the situation is not positive
The total number of convenience stores in the industry declined by almost 700 stores
since the beginning of 2008. Due to this, many of the categories will be facing declines; a
few will experience minimal growth (less than 1%) while some might still have modest
growth, specifically in the packaged beverages and food sector.

- Malt Beverages Consumers also see

this category as affordable indulgence
during the economic downturn, which may be a good indicator for the future. The segment
is forecast to have an increase in both volume and dollar sales, suggesting that there will
be heavy promotional activity and discounting. This is one category where it is apparent
that consumers are trading down from premium to less expensive brands. At the same
time, customers are also upgrading to larger sizes of both premium and budget beer.
- Packaged Beverages Although this sector is usually a positive area, it took a hit in 2008
that was expected to continue through 2009. While in 2007, packaged beverages saw a
9.3% increase in dollar sales and 3% rise in volume, 2008 saw a decline of 1.3% for volume
and a meager 2.4% increase in dollar sales.
One possible reason for this decline is that people are switching from convenience stores
to club and mass stores, claims Mike Zielinski of Royal Buying Group. With the exception
of energy drinks, carbonated beverages as a whole have been on the decline, as well as bottled water due to consumer environmental concerns. Surprisingly, sports drinks is the section losing the most ground to enhanced waters, as opposed to bottled water.
- Salty Snacks Modest but steady growth was the name of the game for this area in 2009,
and a large gap between projected dollar sales and volume sales suggests [that] price increases will be present this year. Grain bars were the talk of the 2009 Forecast Council due
to the fact that they are experiencing a resurgence after the low-carbohydrate craze of a few
years ago.
- Energy Drinks - With a projected 5.9% rise in dollar sales in 2009, energy drinks are leading the rest and is still expected to experience robust growth for the future, according to
Convenience Store News. In another article from the same volume, Convenience Store News
delves in depth into the so-called energy shot category, where 20 new products were introduced in 2008 as compared to nine in 2007. A cost-effective, immediately consumable impulse item, energy shot sales are projected to grow 30, 40, even 50% annually for the next
few years, claims Rick Reddick, national category manager of packaged beverages and beer
at ConocoPhillips Co.
While usually placed at registers in prime impulse buying sections, Mr. Reddick is also considering placing some in the freezer section to attract the energy drinker. Energy drinkers
and energy shot takers are not necessarily one in the same, according to the article, as the
shot category is still relatively new. According to Gerry Kermouch, editor of Beverage Busi27
ness Insights, the two types of buyers could be same, but at different times in the day. it
could be the same user at different consumption occasions, who dont want to drink a lot of
liquid, but want to get the jolt without drinking 16, 20 or even 32-oz.
- Foodservice Foodservice, with a focus on fresh-prepared foods, was anticipated to continue its growth since 2004 in 2009. This sector offers convenience stores opportunities to
take advantage of the general trend of consumers eating at home more, as, according to
Matt Paduano of Nice N Easy, people may be eating at home more, but that doesnt necessarily mean theyre cooking more.
FOODSERVICE SALES UP AT C-STORES

price, freshness and safety at Convenience Store News 2009 Foodservice Roundtable held in

C-stores stand to profit from consumers trading down if they focus

foodservice offerings on perceived
value rather than discounting,
stated Dean Dirks, of Dirks & Associates LLC. Mr. Dirks offers advice
for making the most of the tradedown trend: Experimenting with
QSR market products; focused attention on fringe markets of
breakfast, snacks and late night;
offering home-meal replacement
options; creating and marketing
low-calorie items and taking advantage of the job market by up-
grading to better employees and

increasing check averages by encouraging employees to up-sell.
This can be achieved by setting

Balancing fresh and safety is a

fine balance that takes practice.
Panelists stated that made-toorder foodservice programs convey both freshness and safety.
However, it is time consuming
and laborious. Another option is to use a commissary where foods are prepared, packaged
and delivered to stores. If a commissary is not feasible, the creation of a portfolio of products supplied through a wholesaler is another option. If you want to get into foodservice and
be successful, you need to clearly understand that you must make a strategic, long-term,
company financial and cultural commitment, stated Brian Matlock, director of foodservice
for Tedeschi Food Shops, whose stores include full-service fresh deli counters. C-store operators who try to get into foodservice without the proper vision, knowledge and support infrastructure hurt us all.
NEW PRODUCTS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PROFITS FOR C-STORES
Overall convenience store industry profits rose 54% in 2008 to $5.2 billion, reversing a twoyear decline of a 42% profit drop, according to The National Association of Convenience
Stores. Industry sales rose 8.1% to reach $624.1 billion, as in-store sales rose 3.2% to
$173.9 billion. The growth of in-store sales defied the overall downturn trend in U.S. retail
sales. The improvement also came in spite of a decline in convenience stores, a 1% drop to

No. 1 criteria. Two-thirds of retailers added more new items to stores in 2008 than in 2007,
approximately 43 compared with 34 the year before. Only 13% reduced their number of new
products. Increased convenience, healthier eating, energy/functionality and value were the
four largest inspirations for new product launches in 2008. On average, new products have
three months to prove their worth. About 89.7% of retailers give products three months to
succeed before integrating them into their standard set.
The second most successful category of new products was candy and gum (46%), followed by
29
salty snacks (41%). For the second year in a row price was named the best method of promoting
new products, followed by signage, shippers and in and out displays. The packaged beverage
category featured the largest number (2,416) of UPC-coded products in 2008. New products in
the candy category made up the largest percentage (19%) of total SKUs followed by salty snacks.
There was a drop-off in beer and alternative snacks at 14.8 % and 18.3% respectively.
CONVENIENCE STORES SHOULD UTILIZE CANDY SALES TO BOOST PROFITS
In order to tap into the recessionary boost in candy sales, convenience store operators need to
make some adjustments, according to a study conducted by the American Wholesale Marketers
Association entitled Candy in the Convenience Channel, reported Convenience Store News (May
11). Dollar sales in the channels overall candy segment were up 3.9% to nearly $4.4 billion,
but unit volume declined 4.3% for the period ending Dec. 27, 2008, according to The Nielsen
Co. The trend was seen throughout most of the subcategories, like chocolate bars/packs, gum
and pegged and bagged candy. Kit Dietz of Dietz Consulting outlined three key strategies for
c-store retailers; the first is to go with a core concentration. There is a $410.1 million incremental growth opportunity if c-stores and distributors could increase distribution and in-stock
position of the best-selling 50 SKUs in the category. More focus is needed on the products that
are proven to drive business and less on excess products.
The second is speeding up the process of bringing new products to the market, which could
increase sales as much as $1 billion and at least catch up to the drug channel. Were completely missing it because we havent extended our reach fast enough. The drug channel is
top of the line currently, they are the first to have new items and theyre tying them into
manufacturers promotions. If we could just match the speed and distribution levels of the
drug channel it would be a significant opportunity. Theres just about 320 new SKUs a year,
but we have to learn how to manage them properly, stated Mr. Dietz. The third strategy is
to mark down failed products at the retail level rather than returning them to distributors
for credit.
CONVENIENCE WHOLESALERS SHOW STEADY GAINS
The top 25 convenience wholesalers combined to reach sales of $52.4 billion in 2008, according to a study by Convenience Store News. The industry as a whole achieved an increase
of 6%, which matched 2007s percentage increase. McLane Grocery Distribution remained
the top-ranked convenience wholesaler with sales totaling $28 billion. McLane brought in
more than half of the total sales of the top 25. Rankings of companies as the top of the list
remained intact from 2007 with Core-Mark Holding Co., Eby-Brown Co., H.T. Hackney Co.,
and GSC Enterprises Inc., rounding out the list of the top five wholesalers. Imperial/Harrison
Super Regional moved up seven spots to the No. 10 due to the acquisition of Harrison Co.
(2007s No. 23) by Imperial Trading Co. Inc. (ranked 17th in 2007). Harbour Wholesale Grocery and Richmond-Master Dist. Co. are newcomers ranked 21 and 25, respectively. Meanwhile, operational issues were on the top of everyones mind who participated in the survey.
When the wholesalers were asked to name the biggest challenge facing their business in
2008, rising fuel costs and the corresponding effects on all aspects of their business was
cited most often.
... Where consumer reluctance to spend has hurt other food provider formats, dollars stores
have thrived in the tough economic climate. The dollar store formats attracts consumers that
may have come from convenience stores looking for more bargains and more food item variety.

DOLLAR STORES BECOME MORE POPULAR AMONG

HIGH AND MIDDLE INCOME FAMILIES
Dollar stores have become increasing more popular amid the recent economic recession.
Consumers at all income levels are shopping more at dollar stores, with high income shoppers spending 18% more at dollar stores in the second half of 2008 compared to 2007, according to The Nielsen Company. Dollar stores are now outpacing major consumer
packaged goods channels between both low and high-income shoppers.
Dollars store offer products at a variety of price ranges, with an average of only 23% of
products at or below the on dollar price point. Still, an estimated 65 million U.S. consumers
shopped at dollar stores in 2008. Troubled economy and rising costs in healthcare, education and food have caused everyone,

FAMILY DOLLAR DOING WELL DESPITE RECESSION

Many customers are trading down, allowing small-box discounters like Family Dollar, Dollar
General and Dollar Tree to garner higher profits, reported CNN Money (Apr. 15). Family Dollar operates 6,600 stores nationwide and reported a 6.4% increase in second quarter 2009
sales at stores open more than one year.
Starting as a closeout shop 50 years ago, Family Dollar today carries many name brands at
20% to 40% cheaper prices than those found at traditional supermarkets. Prices are roughly
on par with big-box discounters like Walmart and Target and at smaller-sized locations that
offer convenience. The secret to the companys success is selling a greater amount of second and third-tier brands, which have cheaper prices and greater margins than top-tier
brands. Inexpensive real estate in low-priced locations is another way the company keeps
costs down.
With the addition of cooler items like milk, eggs, frozen pizza and other food, executive vice
president Dorlisa Fleur helped to boost sales and the frequency of shopping trips in 2008.
The company also updated stores by trimming inventory by 10%, remodeling and creating a
more coherent layout. Additional technology was added that allowed the chain to accept
food stamps and other payment methods. All the changes are coming at an opportune
time, stated Craig Johnson, president of Customer Grow Partners, a consulting firm. With
the economy in a ditch, Family Dollar is in a sweet spot.
Some analysts fear that the chains profits could suffer from its lower-margin food items.
Due to opportunistic buying, product inventory lacks consistency, creating a negative reac32
tion from some customers. Another concern is what will happen to the trading down niche
when the recession ends and consumer habits return to normal. History has shown we do
well in good times and bad, stated CEO Leon Levine. As extra security, Family Dollar introduced 250 new food items to its inventory in early 2009, including Triscuits and Double Stuf
Oreos.
WILLARD BISHOP OFFERS LOOK INTO THE FUTURE OF FOOD RETAILING
Value and low prices dominate consumers priorities in choosing where to shop and what to
buy while brand loyalty and the allure of specialty foods are waning in their influence, according to The Future of Food Retailing 2009 webinar put together by The Food Institute
and food retail consultant Willard Bishop. Most significantly, the webinar explored the diminishing role of retailers in the traditional grocery/supermarket stores and the emerging
non-traditional grocery channel. AlCHARACTERISTICS OF STORE FORMATS IN 2008

markets, sales growth for those two *Does not include gasoline sales
categories outpaced every other
channel in any format. Limited-Assortment stores, such as Aldi and Trader Joes, exhibited a
14.3% sales increase in 2008, though total sales reached $22.3 billion, or 4.8% of total supermarket sales. Limited-assortment stores perform well because they are able to offer significantly lower prices than supermarkets on own-label products, which are also exclusive to
those retailers, Willard Bishop explained. Super warehouse stores performed second-best
across all categories with a 12.4% sales increase in 2008, supported largely by thrifty consumers looking for value and low prices. Despite the small market share that limited-assortment stores and super warehouses hold, Willard Bishop expects increased store growth
across the U.S. for both categories, and identifies them as formats to watch for going in the
future.
Non-traditional grocers gained a 1.4% market share in 2008, carving out a piece of the market as consumers seek better values and one-stop shopping solutions. Channel sales for
non-traditional growers rose 10.1% to $350.4 billion, while the supercenter format outpaced
the total non-traditional grocer category with a sales increase of 11.9% to $152.2 billion.
Wholesale clubs also exceeded the non-traditional composite sales increase with an 11% rise

share for wholesale clubs grew to 8.3%
of the total retail food industry, while
same store sales at BJs, Costco and
Sams Club climbed 5% to 6% in 2008.
The ability for supercenters and wholesale clubs to sell fresh food, grocery
and pharmacy products, who together
account for over two-thirds of the dollar
share for the entire non-traditional grocer segment, allowed the category to
outperform all other formats in 2008.
Looking ahead, Willard Bishop expects

same period and eventually surpassing
traditional grocery by 2014. Limited-assortment stores and super warehouse stores are expected to grow within the traditional category, maintaining strong momentum with an 8% to
10% annual growth rate for five years while traditional supermarkets grow at a weak 0.3%
and lose almost seven market share points by 2013. In fact, traditional supermarkets are
expected to show a growth rate a little over 10% of the inflation rate for the same period.
Supercenters will bring up the non-traditional grocery segment with a growth rate of almost
10% and increase their market share by 5.7% into 2013, reaching 21.6%. Dollar and drug
stores will also contribute with annual growth rates of 5.4% and 4.5%, respectively, but it is
not expected to significantly change market share.

Aside from future growth rate and market share projections for 2013, Willard Bishop offered
many insights into what will allow non-traditional grocery and other rising segments to
flourish in the next five years. Looking into the future, Willard Bishop expects food-price inflation to increase; the recession that began in late 2007 and appears likely to continue into
2010 changed the retail landscape irrevocably, but inflation is a force that was merely delayed, not temporarily reversed. As a result, the most successful companies today will carry
strategies into the future that will push them ahead of their competition. Some of those
strategies include the rationalization of SKUs, the de-listing if line extensions and name
brands, and emphasis on value and efficiency.
Walmart was used as a specific example of a retailer adopting a strategy that not only provides success now, but also positions the company to build long-term market share. The
discount department stores Win/Play/Show strategy is expected to create a major ripple
effect for both retailers and suppliers. Following this strategy, Walmart will coordinate its inventory based on these product categories; products that Walmart can out-price its competitors with are considered win items, inventory that Walmart can sell, but cannot beat its
rivals are in play, while general items that the retailer stocks in specialized categories,
such as hardware, are considered show categories, existing only to prevent the customer
from shopping elsewhere if they are only looking for the most basic products, like a hammer or tape measure.

Another very important factor in todays retail world is the growth of private-label products.
Willard Bishop attributes much of limited-assortment retailers success to its own-label offerings, which are unique to every retailer and are often less expensive than national brands in
traditional supermarkets. And as consumers cut their shopping budgets, private labels
goods are more attractive as an alternative to national brands, particularly in the centerstore segment of most supermarkets. According to the Private Label Manufacturers Association, 77% of shoppers believe that store brands are as good or better than national brands.
In some categories, such as dairy, private label goods account for 39.6% of total sales and
19.7% of total SKUs. An indication of the increased prevalence of private label goods is WalMart, which has achieved success promoting national brands at prices lower than competitors, putting effort into improving the quality and marketing for their Great Value private
label line.

WILLARD BISHOP FORMAT DEFINITIONS

TRADITIONAL GROCERY*
*The Conventional Supermarket, Superstore and Food/Drug Combo formats were combined into on Traditional Supermarket format.
Traditional Supermarket Stores offering a full line of groceries, meat and produce with at least $2 million in
annual sales and up to 15% of their sales in GM/HBC. These stores typically carry anywhere from 15,000 to
60,000 SKUs (depending on the size) and may offer a service deli, a service bakery, and/or a pharmacy.
Fresh Format Different from tradtional supermarkets, vitamin shops and traditional natural food stores, fresh
stores emphasize perishables and offer center-store assortments that differ from those of traditional retailers
especially in the areas of ethnic, natural and organic, e.g. Whole Foods, some regional chains such as
OMalias and some independents.
Limited-Assortment Store A low-priced grocery store that offers a limited assortment of center-store and perishable items (fewer than 2,000), e.g. Aldi, Trader Joes and Sav-A-Lot.
Super Warehouse A high-volume hybrid of a large traditional supermarket and a warehouse store. Super
Warehouse stores typically offer a full range of service departments, quality perishables and reduced prices,
e.g. Cub Foods, Shoppers Food & Pharmacy and Smart & Final.
Other (Small Grocery) A small corner grocery store that carries a limited selection of staples and other convenience goods. These stores generate less than $2 million in business annually.
CONVENIENCE STORES
Convenience Store (w/gas) A small, higher-margin store that offers an edited selection of staple groceries,
non-foods, and other convenience food items, i.e., ready-to-heat and ready-to-eat foods. The convenience
store with gas format includes only convenience stores that sell gasoline e.g., ExxonMobil, BP, etc.
Convenience Store (w/o gas) Small, higher-margin convenience stores that dont sell gas and offer an edited
selection of staple groceries, non-foods, and other convenience food items, i.e., ready-to-heat and ready-to-eat
foods. Stores such as 7-Eleven and White Hen without gasoline pumps are included.
NON-TRADITIONAL GROCERY
Wholesale Club A membership retail/wholesale hybrid with a varied selection and limited variety of products
presented in a warehouse-type environment. These 120,000-sq. ft. stores have 60% to 70% GM/HBC and a grocery line dedicated to large sizes and bulk sales. Memberships include both business accounts and consumer
groups, e.g., Sams Club, Costco, and BJs.
Supercenters A hybrid of a large traditional supermarket and a mass merchandiser. Supercenters offer a wide
variety of food, as well as non-food merchandise. These stores average more than 170,000-sq. ft. and typically
devote as much as 40% of the space to grocery items, e.g., Wal-Mart Supercenters, Super Kmart, Super Target,
and Meijer.
Dollar Stores A small store format that traditionally sold staples and knickknacks, but now sales of food and
consumable items at aggressive price points account for at least 20%, and up to 66%, of their volume, e.g. Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and Family Dollar.
Drug A prescription-based drug store that generates 20% or more of its total sales from consumables, general merchandise, and seasonal items. This channel includes major chain drug stores such as Walgreens and
CVS, but does not include stores/chains, e.g. The Medicine Shoppe which sell prescriptions almost exclusively.
Mass A large store selling primarily hardlines, clothing, electronics and sporting goods, but also carrying
grocery and non-edible grocery items. This channel includes traditional Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target stores, etc.
Military A format that looks like a conventional grocery store carrying groceries and consumables, but is restricted to use by enlisted or retired military personnel. Civilians may not shop at these stores, which are referred as commissaries.

FOOD PROCESSING
... As consumers reduce their number of shopping trips and the amount spent at each of
them, consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers need to keep their brands relevent in
the eyes of budget-conscious consumers. No longer is the CPG section immune to the economic downturn. Keeping in line with consumer trends, diversifying food item portofolios
without cannibalizing established brands and maintaining company flexibility is fundamental to growing in a difficult market.

Part of that decline is likely the result of signifithe raw materials (generally of animal or vegcant consolidation among food manufacturers as etable origin) processed into food products.
The Food Institute recorded some 622 acquisitions by food manufacturers in that same five year period, many merging operations that resulted in the closure of food manufacturing establishments as cost cutting synergies.
During the five year period, sales, shipments, receipts, and revenue in the food manufacturing sector rose 29% to $589.6 billion. In 2007, these food manufacturing sales accounted
for 11.0% of all manufacturing sales in the U.S. down from 11.7% five years earlier.

TOP 100 CPG COMPANIES BEATING THE RECESSION
With 2008 experiencing some of the highest increases in commodity costs recorded, the top
100 companies in Food Processings 2008 list were the ones who effectively addressed their
internal cost structure as well as managing their overall supply costs. Lean manufacturing
principles were also seen in more than half of the companies surveyed, as businesses tried
to increase production per employee and sales per employee. Nestle, the No. 1 company on
the list, attributed its success to its employees and its relentless focus on the consumer,
claimed chairman and CEO of Nestle USA & Canada, Brad Alford. We are focused on anticipating and responding to consumers needs, including make more nutritional choices. The
company is doing something right, as sales increased 14% versus 2007 and jumped up from
the No. 4 spot last year.

ported increases in net income. At the same time, five companies record net losses for
2007, the most in six years. One such company was Pilgrims Pride (remaining at No. 12),
which filed for Chapter 11 in 2008. According to President/CEO Clint Rivers, the company
faced high feed-ingredient costs, an oversupply of chicken, weak market pricing and softening demand. Smithfield Foods (No. 8) felt some of the same pressure, as well as the
H1N1 flu virus, causing its first annual loss in more than 30 years.
Other companies faced losses in 2008, including Dr Pepper Snapple (which was still getting
started), Sara Lee (was still reorganizing) and Maple Leaf Foods (affected by a food recall).
... With consumers becoming more aware of how their food is being produced, becoming a
green company may be worth the extra cost. Although the economy has slowed, it has been
seen that consumers are still willing to spend more for an environmentally-friendly product.

CPG MARKETING FOR SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS

The popularity of sustainable, eco-friendly, organic and Fair Trade certified products has
risen since 2004 as more consumers consider the environmental impacts of products, reported Information Resources, Inc.s (IRI) Times and Trends report, Sustainability: CPG Marketing in a Green World (February). In order to gauge the trend more accurately, IRI teamed
up with research firm TNS to augment the levels of consumer greenness. The TNS Shades
of Green Segmentation classifies consumers into eight categories ranging from Ecocentrics, those willing to pay more for eco-friendly products, to Ecovillians, who have dismissed the need entirely and do not seek out eco-friendly products at all.
Despite rising prices and unfavorable economic conditions, the green segment is attracting
new consumer segments, which in turn have become key drivers in industry growth. Since
2008, Eco-centrics have held steady in regards to spending, while Respectful Stewards
and Proud Traditionalists, the next two levels on the green spectrum, increased spending
15.5% and 8.4% respectively. Unit sale performance for the three categories decreased 6.6%,
rose 3.9% and rose 0.9%, respectively. Ways to attract new customers and to keep them include broadening merchandising considerations through cross-merchandising and crossmarketing programs that focus on new and innovative products.
Green spending is linked to consumers values. Manufacturers and retailers need to understand these value systems across the key consumer segments and aligning product assortment and merchandising programs accordingly. Organic and fair trade products in
particular are seeing increases in sales. A re-assessment of product development priorities,
as well as local market assortments, needs to be done in regards to shifting consumer attitudes. CPG food marketers need to conduct frequent consumer assessments in order to
proactively address the changing attitudes. Private label green offerings have gained a
strong reputation in the CPG arena; an increase in products flaunting earth-friendly and natural/organic attributes is expected. Retailers need to identify the most important categories
for their key consumer segments; solutions-based merchandising with a clear value proposition is strongly recommended.
ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES PAY OFF FOR FOOD PROCESSORS,
BUT COME AT A HIGH COST
The growing number of consumers factoring environmental considerations into their purchases incited many in the food industry to adjust their methods, catering to shoppers who
respond positively to corporations with sustainable practices. This general consumer segment, and in particular the LOHAS (Lifestyles Of Health And Sustainability) consumer group,
represent an opportunity for food manufacturers to court food shoppers that reward green
companies with loyalty. Though getting on the good side of the LOHAS segment is very beneficial, with a $209 billion market for goods and services belonging to this consumer group,
committing to the sustainability practices necessary to attract these consumers might cost
more for small-businesses than it is worth.
LOHAS consumers are a growing segment among Americans, who now represent 70 million,
or about one in four people in the U.S., according to social researcher Dr. Paul Ray. Jeff
Hilton of the Integrated Marketing Group believes that they are the wave of the future, and
will have an even larger impact on Fair Trade and socially responsible investing as their
numbers increase. Mr. Hilton also classifies LOHAS consumers as driven primarily by their

ness are also on
the minds of many in the LOHAS segment. The Integrated Marketing Group also identifies
five core consumer behaviors for this category: They buy with their hearts as well as their
heads, they seek out information, they are avid networkers, they will pay more for a product
they can feel good about buying, and they tend to view the world through a larger world
perspective.
To appeal to LOHAS consumers, Specialty Food Magazine offers advice, stating that food
processors first need to recognize that they are not typical consumers, and traditional marketing methods will only alienate them (November/December). Instead, food companies
need to appeal to their specific values, making a connection with consumers and distinguishing themselves by making a social difference. The LOHAS group is very eager to learn
about the product and the brand; processors should respond to their inquisitiveness by providing information about the company, its history, and any unique facts that separate one
particular brand from the others on supermarket shelves. Cultivating a relationship with
customers is also very important, as LOHAS consumers want to feel connected with the
companies whose products they are buying, and that relationship can be encouraged with
community support, web resources and supplementary information. Aside from the financial
benefits of catering to the LOHAS segment, their networking abilities can also be utilized by
food processors, as word-of-mouth advertising among the consumer group could reach more
shoppers that traditional channels of marketing might not have been able to.
The LOHAS consumer group certainly represents a compelling and potentially very lucrative
segment, but the efforts needed to earn the loyalty of LOHAS consumers might not be worth
the market share that this group represents. Even if those in the segment are willing to pay
more for goods produced by companies they approve of, small business owners might not
be able to afford newer appliances and renovations to go green, among other initiatives.
This leaves the larger food processors better positioned to enjoy the patronage of the LOHAS
segment, even though those businesses might release a greater proportion of waste into the
environment under Californias proposed emissions cap trading system.

... Changing company practices is one way to help distinguish a company in the mind of the
consumer, but the main factor still comes down to price. While keeping pricing high as competitors charge less is a sure way to distance some customers, lowering a price may also relate to consumers that the quality has lowered as well, so prudence is needed.
FOOD PROCESSORS BALANCE PRICES, CONSUMER QUALITY PERCEPTIONS
Reeling from an established economic recession and declining consumer spending, leading
global retailers are engaging in an already-developed worldwide pattern of cost cuts and
price wars, according to Prof. Joshua Bamfield, director of the Center for Retail Research.
The universal shift towards price deflation will likely continue into the next decade, and consequently retailers will likely target reduced-cost food and drink groups rather than more
environmentally focused processors, according to Prof. Bamfield, reported to Beverage Daily
(Dec. 11, 2008).
While price wars will inevitably change the retail landscape for years, beverage and food
manufacturers will feel the most pressure from deflationary price cuts as retailers turn to
suppliers of discounted brands. Food processors will be pushed to supply better quality
products at lower retail prices, enabling middle-range retailers to compete with discounters.
Presenting the retail price wars of Germany as a model, Prof. Bamfield predicts that food
suppliers in Western Europe and the U.S. will exTop 10 Growth Categories Unit

In a simulated model, authors of the study calculated that approximately 25% of sale increases
generated by temporary price cuts lead to cannibalization of future sales resulting from the dilution of brand equity. Identifying the brand
quality signaling mechanisms, those involved in the study claim that price is the single
most important determinant of perceived quality, followed by advertising frequency to a
lesser extent. Using Nielsen scanner data for ketchup brands, the authors of the study
demonstrate the effect of pricing on consumer perception of food quality. Heinz, a dominant brand in this segment, is generally seen as being a high-quality product, is higher
priced and has significantly higher advertising expenditures than its competitors. If Heinz
were to cut prices permanently by 10%, it would increase sales by 26%. Implementing the
same price cuts without reducing perceived quality, sales increase estimates reach 32%. For
high-end product categories, the results are even more defined. Exactly how suppliers can
cut costs while maintaining brand equity is harder to determine than the factors influencing perception, particularly if price is indeed the most significant indicator of quality.
BUDGET-STRAPPED CONSUMERS TO RE-DEFINE CPG MARKET

In 2008, consumer packaged goods (CPG) unit sales fell 2.1% while price increases fed a 3%
increase in CPG dollars sales, according to Information Resources Inc.s (IRI) Times & Trends
Report 2008 CPG Year in Review. Due to the continuing economic downturn, consumers
are not only stretching the use of CPG products, but are also cutting them out altogether if
the product is deemed expendable. According to the report, the strongest growth came
from the frozen foods department as more consumers subLargest Price Increases,

With the CPG industry dollar and unit sales average standing at
-2.1%, five of the 10 top categories saw declines that outpaced
that. The carbonated beverage sector and the chocolate sector saw the largest unit sales decline, 4.5% and 4.3%, respectively, as they were seen as generally discretionary purchases.
At the same time, essential CPG items such as milk and bread also saw unit sale declines. Natural cheese saw a 13.6% increase in dollar sales in 2008 but also had a 12.8% average price
change from year-earlier levels. Sports drinks, fresh frozen poultry, wine and frozen plain vegetables were among the top five growth CPG categories while only the breakfast meats category saw an overall price change decline versus a year ago. Overall, CPG prices were up 9%
versus prior year on a national level, as 46 of the top 100 CPG categories saw above-average
price increases.
It was predicted that CPG prices will remain high through the first half of 2009, with unprocessed foods to see the beginnings of a possible price deINGREDIENT COSTS GOING DOWN cline. Pastas, margarines and mayonnaise were some of the

including Heinz, Kraft and Hormel
are down about 28% on average as of
Sept. 1, 2009 from the same time in
2008. Falling prices for gasoline and
transportation plus consumer resistance to price increases have helped
drive manufacturer prices down, reported The Associated Press (Sept. 8)
For 2009, CPG manufacturers and food retailers alike must

be in tune with consumer needs and desires. IRI predicts
that retailers who manufacture their own private label
products will enjoy a competitive advantage as it may help
reduce input and overall production costs. Functional
foods, including neutraceuticals, were popular, as well as
new uses for already established ingredients, such as lycopene, soy and various vitamins. Better-for-you foods, which emphasize not what is in the
product but what is left out, are predicted to be popular, as consumers are intently focused
on leveraging nutrition as a preventative medicine. And while they are often more expensive than conventional products, organic/natural and sustainable products will see an increase in share in 2009 and will continue to thrive.
... Comfort foods, in the form of snack foods, are experiencing a resurgance as worried consumers look for an affordable indulgence. While some companies attribute increased sales
to lowered prices, some snack food manufacturers claim that increased creativity with new
items is drawing consumers in.

SNACK FOODS REMAIN POPULAR INDULGENCE DURING RECESSION

The snack food industry is performing well in the midst of a recession that is sparing few
businesses, according to executives interviewed by Cypress Research Associates and the
Snack Food Association. Customers are eating more at home and choosing more comfort
foods, leading six of nine industry executives surveyed to predict continued growth
throughout 2009. Although shoppers are mostly brand loyal, they are searching for value by
shopping multiple channels, trading down to private label snacks or cutting discretionary
snacks altogether. Private label goods also continue to gain ground on national brands, particularly in the pretzel, snack nut and beef jerky categories. In the 52 weeks ending Feb. 22,
2009, private label goods held about 36.4% of total dollar sales in the snack nuts segment,
while in the potato chip category, dollar sales grew approximately 29.1% to bring ownbrands to a total 6.3% of potato chip dollar sales. Only Frito-Lay and Procter & Gamble sold
more potato chips in that period than private label manufacturers.
For major label brands, all nine executives believe that new product development is particularly important for attracting sales for premium products. The research and development
programs for new product introductions took vastly different approaches, however, with
some companies preferring taste panels, others seeking consumer feedback and many following culinary developments to take advantage of emerging trends elsewhere in the industry. The culinary world is a great place for flavor experimentation, according to Chris
Hood, general manager of snacks at Procter & Gamble. ConAgra Foods monitors new food
products as they arrive on store shelves, especially in high-end supermarkets, as well as in
restaurants and the foodservice industry when seeking new flavors. Others, such as Rudolph
Foods, are trying new methods of introducing flavors including packaging the seasoning
with the product and allowing customers to season the food themselves.

claims, but also risk sending
the wrong message. Procter &
Gamble does use better for
you claims in their advertising, but finds that placing too
much of an emphasis on such
marketing actually lowers
taste expectations and repeat purchasing, stated Mr. Hood. By category, the most popular
snack food were crackers, with about $3.97 billion in total sales in the year ended Feb. 22,
2009. Along with many categories, however, a 5.2% increase in dollar sales was balanced by
a 2.5% decrease in unit sales, reflecting the impact of price increases on dollar metrics and
the reality of lower sales as evidenced by unit sales declines. Although the Keebler Company
possessed the No. 1 spot with Sunshine Cheez-It crackers, Kraft Foods followed with three
Nabisco brands, though each experienced a unit sales decline for the latest 52 weeks ended
Feb. 22, 2009. The top 10 cracker brands were dominated nearly entirely by Keebler and
Kraft, with only Pepperidge Farms Goldfish and private label products holding two spots.
Salty snacks accounted for $8.7 billion in total sales, an increase of 8.5% for the year ended
Feb. 22, 2009, though unit sales decreased 0.4%. Approximately two-thirds of all snack purchases are for indulgent snacks, according to IRI Senior Vice-President Sally Lyons Watt,
and the most popular snack food was potato chips. Dollar sales for potato chips were about
$3.17 billion, while Frito-Lay owned the top three brands based on dollar sales with Lays,
Wavy Lays and Ruffles. Potato chip flavors were largely inspired by ethnic influences including Hispanic, Asian, Mediterranean and Caribbean foods; Kettle Foods, Inc. introduced
Jalapeno chips in May 2009 while P&Gs new Restaurant Cravers line of Pringles feature the
Mexican Layered Dip flavor. Many snack food manufacturers also explored flavor combinations, with spicy, bold flavors often combined with citrus and sweet tastes to achieve a
sweet-heat profile emphasizing contrast.
Baked and kettle cooked chips performed well in 2008, with dollar sales for Lays Kettle
Cooked chips climbing 63.1% over 2007 while Kettle Foods Kettle Chips increased dollar
sales 32.6%, two of the largest single-year increases. New product introductions in this category were focused on the better-for-you image of baked or kettle cooked chips, with Herr
Foods introducing a new line of Herrs Baked Potato Crisps and Natural Kettle Cooked Sundried Tomato Pesto chips in February 2009. Kettle Foods re-launched its baked chips line
while Frito-Lay added new flavors to its Baked Lays line including Southwestern Ranch.
Cape Cod Potato Chips, a manufacturer of kettle cooked chips, also posted a strong year
with dollar sales rising 18.9% and unit sales increasing 12.6% in 2008.
In other categories, healthy considerations were a big mover of products. In the pretzel category, private label products increased unit sales more than Snyders of Hanover, which
held the largest market share at about 38.2%, or the second-largest seller Frito-Lay. In this
category, new pretzel introductions featured more bold flavors and premium/gourmet-style
varieties, such as the Southern Style Barbecue and Hot Buffalo Wing introductions in Snyders Pretzel Pieces line and the launch of the Hersheys Special Dark Chocolate variety in
Snyders sweet-and-salty Pretzel Dips line. Snack Nuts, which also benefit from a healthier
image among snack foods, were named one of the top trends to watch in 2009 by Datamonitor. Some flavor trends among nuts were sea salt varieties, spice from chiles and sweet profiles such as cocoa. The Latin American snack pepitas, or pumpkin seeds, are being
introduced into trail and nut mixes while chile-flavored seeds such as Earthharvest Pumpkorn Organic Shelled Adobo-Chile Pumpkin Seeds were among new flavor innovations.
SNACK FOODS SEGMENT FORECAST TO INCREASE 20% BY 2013
The snack food industry will register some $82 billion in sales by 2013, a 20% increase from

KRAFT FOODS CADBURY BID CULMINATION OF RECENT TRENDS
As of press time, Kraft Foods bid for Cadbury PLC in early September 2009 was anything
but spontaneous. The potential acquisition follows a trend in confectionery consolidation
that was, until now, most evident in the 2008 purchase of William Wrigley Co. by Mars, Inc.
Looking at U.S. Census data, the number of confectionery manufacturing establishments
with greater than 99 employees declined from 2002 to 2007, while in other categories that
number increased. A growing confectionery market, combined with large-scale acquisition
activity, has created a segment comprised of smaller specialty manufacturers and giant
food powerhouses such as Mars, Kraft Foods and Cadbury. While the Sept. 7 Kraft bid
caught many by surprise, the gears had been moving for quite some time and the proposal
is the result of years of merger and acquisition activity and a changing confectionery market.
European and International Impact
Kraft Foods has had Cadbury in its sights for at least one year, though market and economic
trouble delayed the bid, according to The Wall Street Journal (Sept. 8). A deal between Kraft
and Cadbury would create a global food company with $50 billion in annual revenues, and
would also boost Krafts growth prospects by giving it access to new brands. Kraft recently
indicated that it will focus on higher-margin, priority brands to boost productivity in Europe,
supporting the companys interest in Cadbury. In an Aug. 28 letter to Cadbury CEO Roger
Carr, Kraft CEO Irene Rosenfeld called the possible acquisition of the British candy company
a logical next step in our transformation as we shape the company into a more global,
higher-growth, and higher-margin entity.
Influence Of Chewing Gum Market
Aside from the global growth prospects, a significant motivation for Krafts bid is the large
chewing gum business held by Cadbury. Kraft Foods, which has practically no presence in
the global chewing gum market, seeks to gain Cadburys 29% share, according to Businessweek (Sept. 8). A rising segment with a lot of potential, the global gum market expanded
from a $16 billion industry in 2004 to $23 billion in 2008, according to Euromonitor International. Predicted to grow 4.8% in 2009, the chewing gum market will outpace the chocolate and nonchocolate sugar confectionery markets, which are believed to rise 4.1% and
3.5%, respectively.
... It is imperative for beverage companies to keep a keen ear towards consumer trends, as
currently, carbonated beverages (with the exception of energy drinks) seem to have fallen
out of favor. Seemingly healthy beverages with wide appeal will be essential.
OVERALL CSD MARKET, LARGE CSD BRANDS DECLINED
The volume of the U.S. carbonated soft drink (CSD) market declined 3% in 2008, compared
to 2007s 2.3% decline, 2006s 0.6% decline and 2005s 0.2% decline, according to Beverage
Digest (March). The declines of the last four years eliminated years of growth from 1997 to
2004.

-Cases & Dollars - The industrys total

volume in 2008 was about 9.6 billion
cases, a level not seen since 1997.
The retail dollar amount of the U.S.
CSD business in 2008 was up about
1% to $72.7 billion, up from 2007s
$72 billion and $70.1 billion in 2006.
The retail value increase, in the face of
declining volume, is due to two factors: price increases of traditional
CSDs and the growth in premiumpriced energy drinks.
- Companies The top two companies,

Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, generated
similar results in 2007 and both lost share in 2008. As in 2007, the strongest growth performers in 2008 were the energy drink companies. Hansen Natural, which produces both
energy drinks and other CSDs, is the No. 6 company, posting a 3.3% increase in CSD
growth.
- Brands Among the brands below the top 10, Coke Zero posted a 36% growth while Pepsi
Max was up 25%. However, the larger brands, Coke and Pepsi, both declined, as did the two
large diet colas, Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi.
GLOBAL CARBONATE SALES GREW DESPITE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN
Significant changes in financial and economic conditions in 2008 led Canadean to downgrade earlier predictions for the global carbonates market by around 1%, bringing the total
volume growth figure to between 1% and 2% for 2008. Beverage experts predicted that the

COTT LOSING EXCLUSIVE SUPPLY PACT WITH WAL-MART
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is phasing out its its exclusive supply agreement in the U.S. with Cott
Corp. without cause, according to the Toronto-based soft-drink maker. The announcement will end a 10-year supply agreement between the two companies. However, Cott will
continue as a supplier to Wal-Mart, reported The Wall Street Journal (Jan. 28, 2009). The
termination will be effective in late January 2012. The new action allows Wal-Mart, if it
chooses, to use another beverage maker for as much as one-third of its private-label softdrink requirements in the first year. In the second year, as much as two-thirds of its privatelabel soft drinks can be manufactured by a company other than Cott. Wal-Mart represents
more than 30% of Cotts overall business, and accounts for an estimated 40% to 50% of
Cotts business in the U.S., according to Reuters.
... Coffee is growing in influence and in consumption in grocery stores, convenience stores
and restaurants alike. CPG companies would be wise to expand their selection of coffees to
give retailers more options for a growing consumer base. Offering more Fair-Trade as well
as organic coffees may anticipate increasing demand for when the economy recovers.
COFFEE EXPANDS MARKET PRESENCE
Coffee continues to rise in popularity as more companies invest in a broader selection for
consumers. Approximately 55% of U.S. adults consume coffee on a daily basis, according to
the 2008 National Coffee Drinking Trends report from the National Coffee Association,
while daily consumption of gourmet coffee increased to 17% of the entire adult population,
up from 14% in 2007. Preliminary data also revealed that total coffee consumption for
adults in the 25- to 39-year old age group is now at 47%, up 3% from the previous year.
Past-day consumption of coffee surpassed that of soft drinks for the first time in 2007, and
although the gap narrowed in 2008, daily consumption of coffee is still directionally higher.
The market did not post all positive gains, however, with coffee consumption by 18- to 24year olds dropping for the first time this decade from a high of 37% in 2007 to 26%, but still
stabilizing to its 2005 level.
Most experts attribute the change in coffee consumption to its increased level of exposure.

When Baby Boomers became coffee drinkers,

they typically were consuming the beverage
from instant coffee or pre-ground coffee in a
tin can. Todays young adults are considered
the driver of specialty coffee beverages,
which include made-to-order lattes and readyto-drink individually packaged coffee-milk
beverages. This demographic is also driving
organic coffee products, with the Sustainable
Markets Intelligence Center estimating that
organic coffee represents 2.5% of the entire
U.S. coffee market, reported Dairy Foods
(May).
In terms of market trends, many coffee industry experts claim coffee drinkers have matured. They are looking for more flavor and more
originality, thus resulting in new lighter-roasted options. Starbucks, for example, introduced a somewhat-lighter and smoother roast called Pikes Place in early 2009 as part of its
plan to energize U.S. operations. Meanwhile, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. developed its own line of premium single-origin coffees to grab those drinkers interested in
learning more about the roots of the coffee they drink. The line includes an African coffee
called Tanzanian Combe Reserve and a coffee from the volcanic region of San Marcos,
Guatemala, called Guatemalan Finca Dos Marias. Both are lighter-roasted coffees, reported
The Associated Press.
... Functional foods are also following the current trends of more healthful food products,
with the added benefit of ingredients that appeal to consumer desire for better living. Food
and beverages alike stand to gain from this rising popularity.
FUNCTIONAL FOODS, A GROWING MARKET
More than 80% of Americans are currently consuming, or would consider consuming, foods
with added health benefits, according to the International Food Information Council Foundations 2008 Food and Health Survey. Some 62% of Americans consider healthfulness an important food attribute. U.S. manufacturers of functional foods that include elements for
immune and cognitive health and weight-loss have seen the value of their market rise by
63% from 2002 to 2007, according to a May 2008 report by Mintel International Group Ltd.
The immune health functional food category is in the midst of expansion, as probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics are introduced into yogurt and dairy beverages, juices, baked goods,
soups and coffee. Immune health is rapidly emerging as a key driver in functional food and
wellness food sales, as consumers are better at understanding the link between nutrition
and health, stated Joseph ONeill, executive vice president of sales and marketing at BeneoOrafti Inc. Consumer education remains key to the expansion of the pro, pre and synbiotic
functional food category. As consumers are becoming increasingly more educated on the
importance of digestive function, manufacturers have a significant opportunity to market
prebiotic products linking digestive health, inner balance, and immunity, asserted Mr.
ONeill.
We believe the probiotic functional food market is just beginning to take off, stated
50
Michael Bush, vice president of business development at Ganeden Biotech Inc. Consumers
want choices [in probiotic foods] beyond yogurt. As more choices become available, the
market will continue to grow. Beneo-Orafti, supplier of natural prebiotic chicory fibers, has
seen its products used in a range of applications, such as baked goods, beverages, cereals
and dairy foods. Prebiotics may also be added to refrigerated fruit juice and dry-mix products, explains Mr. ONeill. Meanwhile, Ganeden Biotechs probiotic ingredient is shelf-stable
and can withstand extremes such as heat, cold and high pressure.
Functional foods that are created to support cognitive health featuring the omega-3 fatty
acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are also in high demand.
The U.S. market for foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids will reach $7 billion by 2011, according to Packaged Facts. Lori Covert, vice president of marketing and communications at
Ocean Nutrition Canada, supplier of DHA/EPA ingredient MEG-3, attributes the growth to the
general trend of healthy lifestyle, baby boomer concerns about cognitive and cardiovascular
health and parental concerns about the developmental health of their young children. We
see a huge growth in the future for products positioned for cognitive health, Ms. Covert
stated. To date, MEG-3 is included in baked goods, dairy products, juice and other foods.
With omega-3 fatty acids, consumers can get the same great taste in brands they love and
trust, with the added benefit of improved nutriFUNCTIONAL FOODS MARKET INCREASED
tion, added Ms. Covert.
6% IN 2008
Functional foods that can promote weight loss are

also likely to meet a receptive audience. Although
two-thirds of Americans claim they are making efforts to eat healthier foods, only 52% are trying to
increase physical activity. Despite high demand,
most ingredient suppliers agree that the market for
weight-loss products is fledgling. Theres no place
to go but up, stated Bob Green, president of Nutratech, Inc., supplier of the weight loss ingredient
Advantra Z, a patented Citrus aurantium extract.
The U.S. retail market for functional foods and

beverages increased 6% in 2008, with sales
totaling almost $31 billion, according to Packaged Facts Functional Foods and Beverages in
the U.S., 4th Edition report. Total U.S. retail
sales of functional foods and beverages will
continue to grow at a steady pace through
2013, and reach approximately $43 billion.
During the five-year period from 2003 to
2008, several functionally oriented food and
beverage categories performed well, including
yogurt, energy drinks, nutritional snacks and
trail mixes, milk substitutes and soymilk, and
refrigerated blended fruit drinks.
John Alkyre, president of AHD International, supplier of weight-loss ingredient LuraLean, believes
there are two major difficulties faced by the functional food for weight-loss category: educating consumers and the lack of generally regarded as safe (GRAS) weight-loss ingredients.
Although [consumers] are showing more interest in learning about the relationship between certain foods and health, that does not always translate into taking the next step and
purchasing the product, Mr. Alkyre explains. Although Advantra Z can be found in a variety
of meal replacements, sports nutrition beverages, vitamin waters, nutrition bars, shakes and
smoothies, Mr. Alkyre adds, There are also a host of challenges when it comes to developing an ingredient that can easily be used in a diverse array of food applications ranging
from breads to soups to drinks. According to Harshal Kshirsagar, Nutalys business development project coordinator at Roquette America Inc., formulators will have to retain the
conventional benefits of palatability, cost, and convenience, all while delivering healthfulness and sustainability.
With likely high costs, the question remains whether consumers are willing to pay a premium for functional foods. Many consumers will pay a premium if they believe they will receive a direct benefit from the product. While some nutrients, vitamins and minerals are
51
common in foods, the fact that others, such as omega-3 fatty acids, are less abundant can
justify a higher price point. Still, some 48% of consumers bought a functional food within
the past three months, according to Mintel estimates. Consumers determine which health
benefits are the most important to them and justify the additional cost in exchange for the
benefits the products offer, stated Ganeden Biotechs Michael Bush.
BEAUTY FROM WITHIN TREND GOES MAINSTREAM
Beauty food launches in 2008 marked a trend with beauty from within products, reported
Beveragedaily.com (Feb. 25). Dove Beautiful, Vitalize from Mars and Glowelle from Nestle
were among the new edible and drinkable beauty products released in the U.S. Hansen Beverage Company introduced SELF Beauty Elixir, a functional, ready-to-drink beauty beverage
infused with a blend of vitamins, minerals, natural fruit and botanical extracts with antioxidants meant to promote and support healthy skin and overall wellness.
International launches included Boots Choxi+ chocolate in the UK and Spain and Emmi released Aloe Vera Sensitive yogurt and Beauty Case in Switzerland. Products demonstrating
visible results have the best potential, according to Ewa Hudson, Euromonitor analyst. They
key is for manufacturers to not only develop products that work but to persuade consumers
to embrace the expensive concept of beauty foods. Ms. Hudson predicts a shift from standalone products to those sold in bunk. Three different types of supplements are beginning to
appear on shelves: sun protection from within, anti-cellulite and mens hair recovery. Ms.
Hudson stressed work has to be done on the education front.
ENERGY SHOT SALES PROJECTED TO DOUBLE IN 2009
Energy shot sales are expected to reach about $700 million in 2009, up from about $370
million in 2008, not including sales from Wal-Mart Stores Inc., according to IRI figures cited
by Consumer Edge Research chief executive Bill Pecoriello. The 2-oz. products, which boast
caffeine, B vitamins and amino acids, are meant for people who want a jolt of caffeine without having to drink a big cup of coffee or one of the 16-oz. energy drinks that have become
ubiquitous, according to The New York Times on the Web (July 11). The most devoted
drinkers are college students,

Living Essentials spokesperson Carl F. Sperber. 5-Hour Energys not supposed to taste fantastic, the executive noted. This is supposed to be a functional product, not something for
flavor or something for refreshment. Rather, the small container, which does not allow for
extra water to dilute the bitter aftertaste, accounts for much of the categorys appeal.
STEAM TECHNOLOGY INCREASING FRESHNESS, CONVENIENCE IN
MICROWAVE PRODUCTS
Consumer demand has risen for quality food products that are quickly and easily prepared.
When it comes to the microwave, steam cooking has raised quality to a new level, according
to Food Business News (Jan. 20). A product launch using microwave steam technology that
has proven to be extremely successful is the Healthy Choice Caf Steamers line from ConAgra Foods. Information Resources, Inc. named the line the best selling new food or beverage product through mid-year 2008. One of the requirements for recognition is that the
product earned a minimum of $7.5 million in net sales at the end of its first year in market.
Consumers told us the frozen meals they were used to didnt give them everything that
they wanted, stated Rob McCutcheon, vice-president of marketing for Healthy Choice.
They lacked the freshness todays palate demands, so by taking a healthy method of cooking (Steaming), and combining it with the separation technology developed at ConAgra, we
were able to offer a better frozen meal. The separation technology of the tray format allows the product to be steamed more thoroughly throughout the package while cooking,
allowing the vegetables to stay crisper, Mr. McCutcheon stated. The separation technology proved to be so popular, Healthy Choice has used it in its Fresh Mixers line, which is
microwavable pasta or rice-based dishes that may be stored at room temperature. In October 2008, the H.J Heinz Co. introduced Ore-Ida Steam n Mash potatoes. The potatoes are
already washed, peeled, chopped and ready to steam in the microwave. Steam to cook is a
great way to achieve a fresh taste with the convenience of a microwave, stated Tracy Parsons, spokesperson for Heinz. Other steamed potato products on the market include Wada
Farms Easy-Steamer Gourmet Red Potatoes, which are washed, ready-to-steam and come in
a microwavable bag, according to the Global New Products Database from Mintel International.
Innovations in steam technology have mostly been used with frozen vegetables. Birds Eye
Foods has been using the technology in many of its products. The company introduced
Steamfresh Meals for Two in late 2008 in varieties such as Shrimp Alfredo and Asian Style
Chicken Vegetable Medley. The Steamfresh line also includes fresh frozen vegetables in varieties such as Asian Medley, Southwestern Corn and Cauliflower. The packaging is designed
to allow steam to build up and be released as necessary. Birds Eye also introduced a lemon
pepper vegetable variety under the steam and serve label, which utilizes a microwavable
steam vent and is packaged in a 10-oz. container, according to Mintel.
Green Giant has several frozen vegetable products that use steam for cooking, including the
Valley Fresh Steamers line, which includes varieties such as Broccoli and Cheese Sauce,
Asian Style Medley and Super Sweet Corn and Butter Sauce available in microwavable bags.
The Valley Fresh Steamers products were first introduced nationwide in September 2008.
Store brands such as Archer Farms are also following the trend, with steam-in-the-bag
Asian-Inspired Rice and Broccoli Seasoned Blend and Indian-inspired Cashew Saffron Basmati
53
Rice, Mintel claimed. According to Mintel, there were 151 new products launched with
steam on the product label in 2008, up from 104 in 2007 and 51 in 2006.

The shift to higherpriced specialty

frozen pizzas came
as consumers
seemed to moved
away from eating out
and toward eating at
home more often. In
response, pizza makers appear to be answering with fewer
product introductions, but are more
specific in their target audience. Since reaching a high of 245 in 2007, the number of frozen
pizza products launched in the U.S. slowed, according to Mintel International Group Ltd. In
2008, the number fell to 213, and through the first half of 2009 only 94 new frozen pizza
products were introduced, putting the segment on pace for less than 200 new items, its
lowest total since 191 in 2006.
Demand for specialty pizzas is evident in sales figures for Kraft Foods Inc. The company
maintains nearly a 40% share of the category, according to IRI, and experienced growth in
its premium DiGiorno brand and super-premium California Pizza Kitchen. Convenience is
still very much on trend, and frozen pizza has always provided that state, stated Tim Cofer,
President of Kraft Pizza Co. But consumers arent willing to compromise on taste, so if you
offer them a great tasting, premium pizza like DiGiorno, then you can win them over to the
frozen section of the supermarket. Mr. Cofer also noted Kraft is seeing interest in meals
for one and that the company continues to gain traction in the single-serve category
through the launch of its DiGiorno Flat Bread Melts and California Pizza Kitchen Flat Bread
Melts. The company expanded its frozen

Meanwhile, Schwan Food Co. is counting on

Freschetta PizzAmore to reinvigorate sales
that dropped sharply since 2008. While
Freschetta dollar and unit sales fell 17% and
25%, respectively, during the past 52 weeks
ended May 17, 2009, according to IRI, unit
sales for the Freschetta PizzAmore brand climbed 70%. Described by the company as the
future of frozen pizza, the product features the Freschbake tray that radiates heat to cook
the entire crust. In addition, the pizza, which launched in the fall of 2007, is pre-sliced,
which differentiates it from other products in the category.
Kellogg Co. continues to work its way into the frozen pizza mix through the Kashi frozen
pizza brand. In early 2009, the brand launched two all natural frozen pizzas: Mexicali Black
Bean Thin Crust and Sicilian Veggie, its first cheese-less and vegan offering. In summer
2009, Kashi launched a third new flavor, All-Natural Caribbean Carnival Frozen Pizza. The
companys focus on all natural reflects a growing trend within the segment to focus on the
claim. According to Mintel, the use of the phrase all-natural appeared on 20% of the 174
new frozen pizza products launched in the U.S. between June 2008 and June 2009. In comparison, the second-most used claim was no additives/preservatives, followed by premium and no/low/reduced trans fat. Newmans Own is also banking on the all-natural
label as well, with its Thin and Crispy frozen pizza, a line that features a crust made with
flaxseed. The brand generated nearly $8.3 million in sales and was expected to go national
by 2010, according to the company.
... While frozen food items are being seen as an affordable option to going out to eat, ice
cream is still one category that consumers are willing to spend money on, both in the standard and premium sectors. And although the category is seen as the quinessential comfort
food, consumers are still willing to try different and unique tastes and trends.

THE STATE OF THE ICE CREAM AND FROZEN DESSERTS MARKET

The ice cream and frozen novelties market gained roughly 4% per annum from 2002 to 2007,
according to Mintel, reported Dairy Foods (November 2008). The total market is valued at
$12.4 billion for 2007, a nearly 20% growth from 2002 when it was valued at $10.4 billion.
Total sales of ice cream and frozen dessert products are expected to rise $1.8 billion by 2012.
Nearly half of the ice cream and frozen novelties market is made up of brands from the top
two manufacturers, Nestle and Unilever. Mintel reports that Nestle, which owns Dreyers,
Edys, Haagen-Dazs and Drumstick, controlled 26.7% of the food, drug and mass merchandiser market in 2007. Unilever, owner of Good Humor, Breyers and Ben & Jerrys, accounted
for 21.8% of ice cream and frozen novelty sales in 2007. Within the category, traditional ice
cream emerges as the clear sales driver, comprising nearly 60% of the total retail market in
2007. Frozen novelties fall into second place with just over a third (36%) of sales, according
to Mintel. Sherbert and Frozen Yogurt combined accounted for 5% of category sales during
2007. Nearly nine in 10 adults (89%) report eating

New products in the ice cream and frozen novelty

category strive to meet two contrasting but equally
strong consumer desires, providing a flavorful
dessert experience while adhering to diet-friendly
claims and ingredients. When it comes to healthier
ice cream, most new product innovations aim to convince consumers that low in treats can
taste good. According to Mintel Global New Products Database, low/no/reduced fat was
the second most popular claim on new frozen desserts introduced from September 2007 to
September 2008. Churned continues to be a popular label claim, with 47 new dairy-based
frozen products boasting that claim in 2008.
As healthier eating habits become more popular in the U.S., Mintel predicts that frozen yogurt, sorbet, gelato and other ice cream alternatives will become popular. Some 45% of consumers prefer the texture and consistency of gelato to ice cream, while 36% believe it tastes
better. Some 39 new gelatos were launched in the U.S. in 2007. Consumers also anticipate
portion controlled frozen novelties, with 43% wanting to see more ice cream selections on a
stick. Altogether, 598 new ice cream and frozen dessert products were launched between
January and September of 2008. Some 56 organic products were launched during the same
period, nearly twice the number of organic frozen novelties launched between 2005 and
2007.
RETAIL FROZEN DESSERTS SURVIVING DOWN ECONOMY
In 2008, frozen dessert dollar sales in U.S. retail channels were up, reported Dairy Foods
(March). According to Carl Breed, director of marketing for Blue Bell Creameries, the category growth has much to do with maintaining a traditional comfort food classification. Ice
cream is a fun, happy, comfort food that makes you feel good when you eat it. In slower
56
economic times, consumers may budget their

money a little closer but they also like to reward
themselves with ice cream.

found that consumers are eating out of the
home less; thus, eating in home more often,
Mr. Breed stated. Our supermarket sales have seen a significant increase because of this.
Penny Barker, Marketing Director at Smith Products Co. adds, Our ice cream sales and volume have not yet been affected by the downturn in the economy. With more families eating
at home, there may be a slight shift in volume away from foodservice to retail stores.
In the face of the sluggish economy and escalating raw materials costs, many frozen dessert
manufacturers are downsizing packaging without lowering costs. Ms. Baker claims that
Smith dairy did not plan on reducing the size of its 56-oz. premium product in 2009, but
does believe package downsizing is a trend that will continue. During the past decade, consumers have seen many frozen dessert half gallons (64-oz.) downsized to 56-oz. In late
2008, Dreyers Grand Ice Cream Holdings, Inc. introduced its 48-oz. container; other manufacturers followed. Oregon Ice Cream has been marketing its ice cream in 48-oz. containers
for over two years, and made the change based on consumer changes.
Some companies are also downsizing their smallest selections. Dreyers Haagen-Dazs brand
recently downsized its 16-oz. cartons to 14-oz. The companys quart-sized cartons dropped
from 32-oz. to 28-oz. Blue Bell, however, is resisting the downsizing craze. Blue Bell has
elected to keep our ice cream in a true half-gallon size. We state this claim on our packaging
and we have recently introduced a new television commercial emphasizing this position,
stated Mr. Breed. The companys pints will also remain in 16-oz. cartons. Retail dollars sales
of ice cream were flat in 2008, as compared with 2007, but were up for the other three categories of frozen desserts: frozen novelties, frozen yogurt, and sherbet/sorbet/ice water, according to Dairy Foods Associations Ice Cream Market Research report. Private label ice
cream sales, however, experienced significant growth in 2008, suggesting that consumers
are economizing their ice cream purchases. Private label is driving total dollar and volume
retail sales of frozen novelties, which includes everything from single-serve cups to and
stick products to multi-serve cakes and individually wrapped items.
Based on the success of private label frozen desserts, many companies are introducing new
private label products, with a focus on frozen yogurts. For example, Super Store Industries
launched its Sunnyside Farms Fat Free Frozen Yogurt, made with probiotic cultures and advanced omega-3 fatty acids. Brookshire Grocery Co. rolled out an all-natural Supreme Blend,
containing 20% yogurt enhanced with probiotics. Oregon Ice Cream launched Julies Organic
Low-Fat Frozen Yogurt. The product is rich in prebiotic fiber and also contains six probiotic
cultures. In 2008, Kosher and Premium were the most popular claims made on new product launches, combining for a total of 85% of all ingredient-related claims. Products designed for Hispanic consumers were also popular in the past year. For example, Pierres Ice
Cream Co. launched Hola Fruita Pure Fruit Sherbet Bars in Pomegranate & Blueberry, a take
on the classic Mexican dessert, paleta. Meadow Gold Dairies launched its La Micha Paletas in
Pecan Cream Flavor.
57
Health and Wellness is also guiding new product development. For the past several years,
lower-calorie churned formulations and 100-calorie packs have been the most successful
products in the better-for-you ice cream category. Many upscale products such as the Skinny
Cow Truffle are following in this trend. One of 2008s most successful product launches
came from retailer Safeway, with its Eating Right private label brand. The brands Light ice
Cream cups contain a blend of five probiotics.
DIPPIN DOTS LOOKS TO EXPAND SIGNATURE FLASH-FROZEN PRODUCT LINES
Curt Jones, founder of Dippin Dots, is working on several new products and aims to expand
the company beyond its novelty status. We changed the way folks eat ice cream, stated Mr.
Jones. Now we have to change our business model. In an attempt to move beyond the
borders of amusement parks and boardwalks, the company is developing ice cream with
Dippin Dots mix-ins called Dots n Cream, which can be sold at supermarkets and kept in
conventional freezers. The company is also working on low-calorie, low-fat Dippin Dots that
could be sold at schools, and Fridgets, which are Dippin Dots clustered with candy or
cookie pieces. Further, Dippin Dots plans to introduce ice cream cakes, in hopes of competing with other well-established ice cream producers. Mr. Jones is applying the same flashfreeze principals to coffee beans, which would produce fresh-brewed coffee simply by
adding hot water. The coffee dots, potentially called Smokin Joe, launched at the specialty
coffee trade show in June. Mr. Jones is also considering frappe dots, that, when mixed with
milk, would taste like a frappuccino.
... Meat processors are facing the same seemingly-contradictory trend of consumers buying
more premium items even as the economy continues to stagnate. Meanwhile, sales of
lower-priced items are also increasing.
MEAT PROCESSORS RESPOND TO SHIFT IN CONSUMER SPENDING
Absolute price has replaced relative value as top priority among consumers, according to
Meat & Poultry (April). As a result, consumers continue to trade down in their meat purchases. In early March, boxed-beef prices were 10% below 2008s levels. Still, pork and
chicken continue to be less expensive than beef, prompting consumer trade-down. According to The Power of Meat, an annual study by the American Meat Institute and the Food Marketing Institute, consumers are also trading down from the highest-priced, leanest ground
beef to lower-priced, fatty meats.
Some 51% of consumers claim to have changed their meat-purchasing habits. Popular ways
to save money in the meat department include greater preparation before going to the store
and a longer selection process while in the store. Some 71% of consumers claim they read
grocery flyers for meat and poultry deals more often and more carefully than a year ago,
while 69% stock up on meat when it is on sale

Overall beef demand declined around 2% in

2008 from 2007. The decline accelerated in the
fourth quarter from the third and continued to
do so in the current quarter. Pork demand decreased by 3% in 2008 and has also fallen more

drastically this year. Both will

likely decline more in 2009
than in 2008. USDAs forecast
for 2009 is for beef disappearance to be up 28 millionlbs. from 2008. Pork
disappearance will be up 519
million-lbs., while broiler and
turkey disappearance will be
down 118 million-lbs. In an
effort to improve margins,
meat packers are considering
running plants five days per
week and shutting down on
Saturdays. Weak demand nationally and abroad has already forced beef packers to
run reduced hours. Cattle
slaughter from Jan. 1 to Mar.
10, 2009 was down 1.9% from
the same period in 2008, with
fed steer and heifer slaughter
down about 4%. Hog slaughter was down about 1.5%.

HIGH-END BEEF BEING SOLD MORE OFTEN AT SUPERMARKETS
High-end beef is being sold more in retail butcher cases due to a severe contraction in
59
steak-house dining and an expansion of specialty ranches and herd sizes during the steakhouse boom. For example, in 2006, Boise, ID-based Snake River Farms enlarged its herd of
7,000 cattle and sold more than 90% of its Wagyu beef to restaurants; now, the herd is numbered at 10,000 and retail stores account for a third of sales. Prices for steak-house cuts
such as tenderloin and rib eyes are down 3% to 12% from 2008, according to the National
Cattlemens Beef Association, reported The Wall Street Journal (July 15). Whole Foods Market, which lowered its beef prices, is finding that consumers are purchasing meat from the
entire cow, enabling the company to purchase more whole animals.
DAIRY INDUSTRY ROUNDUP: CHANGING DAIRY MARKET
Milk Sales Up, But Consumers Downsizing
Milk sales are up while higher prices mean more revenue but fewer sales for the industry,
reported Dairy Foods (November 2008). Dairies are feeling the pain of the 2008 trifecta:
abnormally high fuel, raw milk and resin pricing, which cannot be recovered, explained
Miriam Erickson Brown, president and chief executive officer of Anderson Erickson Dairy Co.
Dollar sales for the total milk category were up more than 10.3% to $13.02 billion for the
year ending Sept. 7, 2008, according to Information Resources, Inc. (IRI). The numbers account for sales of 4.34 billion units, down 3.6% for the same period.
However, the latest data shows a continued downward trend in unit sales, a sign that consumers are being dissuaded by high prices. We see consumers in every market making alternative beverage choices and downsizing from gallons of milk to smaller sizes out of
budgeting necessity, stated Mr. Brown. The bright side of this consumer trend is the opportunity for our industry to demonstrate the value of the total nutritional package-a point
of view other foods can make as well. U.S. sales of milk are expected to reach $24.8 billion
by 2011, according to Mintel. Growth will be driven by innovation in types of milk, hybrid
products and price increases.
Average price per unit for the overall milk category increased nearly 13 cents over the previous year during the period ended Sept. 7, 2008. The biggest single increase among the top
20 brands was 60 cents. The highest price per unit among the top 20 brands for the same
period was $4.40. Dollar sales of whole milk are up 8.35% to $3.4 billion, units sold are
down nearly 5% to 1.08 billion, according to IRI data. Sales of skim and low-fat milk are up
nearly 12.4% to $8.27 billion, with units down 2.54% to 2.72 billion. Dollar sales in the flavored milk, eggnog and buttermilk category are up about 1.3% to $7.64 million, while units
are down 8.8% to 352.7 million. The milkshake and non-dairy drinks category were down
nearly 15% to $58.8 million and
Quarterly Sales of Lowfat and Skim Milk
units down nearly 27.9 million, a
drop of almost 28%.

Processors are turning to couponing and marketing to increase

sales. Consumer trends and concerns we have identified beyond
pocketbook concerns include a desire to buy local, support green
practices and a renewed and
heightened interest in food
safety, stated Al Streeter, corporate marketing manager for Roberts Dairy Co., co-owned by
Prairie Farms and Dairy Farmers of America. Value-added products, like lactose-free and organic sales continue to increase in both dollars and volume. Organic milk especially is doing
relatively well. Horizon Organic, part of Deans Foods WhiteWave division, is the top-selling
brand of whole milk, behind private label and second for the skim/lowfat segment, according to IRI. In reaction, major retailers have increased their own private label offerings. Consumers feeling about organic milk may be mitigating the serious impact of retail price
increases, where previously the same feelings had been pushing milk in incremental volume
growth.
Due to the emergence of a global market, the volatile cycle of domestic production and
price have changed. Tom Gallagher, CEO of Dairy Management Inc., claims that price and its
impact are often misinterpreted. Our view of price is that when people say the price is too
high it is a misstatement. The issue isnt the price as much as it is the price volatility. Typically with consumable goods other than gasoline, you dont see a whole lot of price volatility. But with milk you can see it go anywhere from $2.50 a gallon to $3.50 or even $4.75.
Mr. Gallagher points to comments from Peter Vitaliano, an economist with the National Milk
Producers Federation. Peters analysis is that

In response, the dairy industry is looking to expand milks appeal past its usual breakfast
niche, with a renewed focus on new products,
innovation, nutrition and value. And the opportunity is there, claims Tom Gallagher, CEO
of Dairy Management Inc., and it lies in reinforcing and leveraging milks unique value propositionby providing the most nutrients per
calorie and per penny, reported Dairy Foods (February). According to USDA and Census Bureau numbers, fluid milk accounts for 30% of the U.S. milk supply with around $25 billion in
sales. At the same time, overall growth in the global dairy drinks market slowed to just
0.5% in 2008 from 2.4% in 2007, according to research from Canadean Limited, possibly a
repercussion from the Chinese melamine scandal in 2008.
Growth rates for white milk were halved in 2008, down to 0.3% from 2007s 0.6%, but remains the most important category overall, accounting for 79.4% of total global dairy
drinks demand in 2008, according to Canadean Limited. The slowdown was most apparent
in Asia, from a 5.1% growth rate in 2007 to 0.5% in 2008, and was compounded by consumption reductions in North America and West Europe. While milk is still mostly consumed at home, its increased availability in quick-service restaurants (QSR) may be a boon
as QSR sales increase. With more than 60,000 QSR chains now offering single-serve milk
on the menu, increased QSR traffic is good news for milk, claims Mr. Gallagher. Natural
and organic milk, while slowing down in terms of sales, does appear to have some staying
power through the current economic situation. USDA is also showing strength in both
whole (26.5%) and reduced-fat (23.9%) organic milk though these monthly increases are
steadily declining as each month goes by.
61
Flavored milk in single serve packages perhaps more than anything else, has helped nudge
milk slightly out of its commodity status and allowed it to act like a beverage. New products such as drinking yogurts, flavored milk and fermented milk could represent a growing
sector, but also experienced the biggest slowdown in 2008. Soy-based drinks are also on
the rise, along with strengthening in demand for evaporated and condensed milk and some
specific market niches, such as low fat milk, probiotic drinks, ESL milk, organic and fortified
milks. Drinks such as Starbucks Tea Lattes, made with steamed milk, and ready-to-drink
milk teas in Asia also represent potential in the future.
Adding extra nutritional value and removing fat and carbohydrates is another way companies are revamping milk to keeping sales growth going. According to Mintel, dairy foods
are the No. 3 category when it comes to new products touting their omega-3 content, reported Dairy Foods (February), although it is not a naturally occurring element in milk and
must be added in. This could be an important category, as 66% of respondents in a United
Soybean Board study view omega-3 fatty acids as very/somewhat healthy. A recent Packaged Facts report also comes to this conclusion, as the global market for omega-3 fatty
acids grew 34% from an estimated $3 billion in 2006 to almost $5 billion in 2007[and] will
approach $8 billion in 2012.
Butter Making A Comeback
While the milk industry has benefited from healthy trends, the butter industry has suffered.
The market for butter, margarine and table spreads reached $5.2 million in 2007, a 31% increase from 2002, according to Mintel. However, the increases are due mainly to rising dairy
prices instead of increased usage. Nearly half of butter users buy less when prices increase.
This benefits margarine processors as it sends consumers looking for cheaper alternatives.
Healthier alternatives like olive oil is seeing increased usage, sales rose 79% from 20022007, according to Mintel.
Yet despite the challenges, 80% of Americans use butter products on a regular basis, especially stick and tub margarine, according to Mintel. Total U.S. sales of butter and spreads
are expected to increase by nearly 1.2 billion through 2012. More than a third of consumers
have actually switched from margarines and spreads to butter in the past few years, a trend
that may reveal a desire for less chemically enhanced foods. New product launches are centering on health-conscious claims. Among the top health claims are kosher, organic and
low/no/reduced trans fat and cholesterol, according to Mintels Global New Product Database. Some 51 new products were launched between January and September 2008, more
than double than in 2003. However, evidence shows that no matter the claim a price ceiling
exists. Clever packaging, innovation, following trends, new formats and selling the idea of
trading up will aid companies in driving sales.
Natural Cheese Growth Strong
Like the milk and butter industries, the cheese industry has had to endure price spikes and
healthier trends yet it has seen both growth and usage increases. Consumption growth has
stemmed from convenience-driven and value-added products like shreds and slices, functional ingredients and/or organics. Nearly one in two consumers use chunk and pre-shredded cheese. Natural sliced cheese is among the fastest growing cheese products in recent
years and is the largest natural cheese segment. Around 74% report using individually
wrapped slices. More than 880 million units of natural shreds were sold in the period
62
ended Sept. 7, 2008, according to IRI. Slices are still the biggest selling form, processed or
natural. However, natural slice sales are growing while processed sales are receding. Natural
cheese is dominating the market with 61.6% of the $9.6 billion in FDM sales, according to a
Mintel report. Processed cheese experienced a 9.1% sales decline, the steepest of all the
segments.
Dollar sales for slices rose upwards of 16% with units experiencing a 3.8% increase during
the period ended Sept. 7, 2008, according to IRI. String cheese is benefiting from its reputation as a snack food, driven by single-serve packaging and popularity with children. Private
label brands are seeing the most growth; private label manufacturers accounted for over a
third of total sales in 2006. Americans consume more than 32.5-lbs. of cheese per person
and is expected to grow to 36-lbs. by 2016, according to the Wisconsin Milk Marketing
Board. Hispanic cheeses continue to grow, increasing 25% in dollar volume in the first quarter of 2008, according to a report from the International Dairy Foods Association. Other
news in the industry is the emergence of upscale in-store cheese centers and independent
shops.
As consumers become more cost-conscious, cheese manufacturers are offering their products in smaller, prepackaged varieties, reported Gourmet News (April). From 2005-2008,
volume sales rose by 4.5% for cheese sold in packages in less than 8-oz., according to Information Resources Inc. market data. Cheeses sold in 8-oz. packages were flat in volume sales
and most in packages 12-oz. and larger declined. Food safety concerns have aided the sales
in prepackaged cheeses, stated Olaf Glaser vice president/general manager of Champignon
North America. There are consumers out there willing to spend money for an imported
cheese but want a prepackaged cheese. They know nobody has touched it. Precut cheeses
can also offer new selling opportunities.
Cheese suppliers are seeing varied buying habits from consumers, as many see the category
as non-essential spending. The recession is affecting suppliers and importers of the top-selling specialty food category, reported Gourmet News (April). In 2007, the cheese and cheese
alternative category reported $3.3 billion in sales. While the numbers for 2008 are not available, all the companies that Gourmet News interviewed experienced a reduction in sales.
CHEESE BECOMING A POPULAR SNACK FOOD
Cheese is becoming a popular commodity in the $90 billion snack food industry. Some 4.5%
of consumers eat cheese as a snack, up from 2.5% a decade ago, according to NPD Group.
Overall, Americans consumed 1.1 billion cheese snacks in 2008. Children younger than six
were the largest consumers, followed by those in the six to 12 age group and 18 to 34 age
group. Women ages 18 to 34 ate slightly more cheese than men. Mintel found that 61% of
consumers view cheese as a healthy snack.
Specialty and imported cheese sales reached $853 million for the 52 weeks ending Oct. 4,
2008, which is an increase of 9.5% over the previous years figure of $779 million, according to Nielsen. The American artisan cheese trade has also expanded into the global market,
with cheeses like Rogue Creamerys Rogue River Blue Cheese being sold in London, Paris
and Amsterdam.
... Confectioneries, chocolate and ice cream seem to be some of the few segments that consumers are still willing to spend more for a high-end product. Sustainable, organic and
63
other green descriptors are often seen in this section, as ingredients (where they come
from and how they are processed) are more visible..
CONSUMERS CONTINUE TO SWEETEN UP TO PREMIUM CHOCOLATE
Growth and demand for premium chocolate is increasing, as sales were $3 billion in 2007,
growing 17% from 2006 and 200% since 2003, according to a Packaged Facts report (November), and now accounts for 18% of the total market share. Consumers often view premium chocolate as a healthy snack, and affordable self-indulgence or a meaningful gift to
another. At the same time, total U.S. retail chocolate sales rose only 4.3% from 2006 to
$16.5 billion. Both sectors are facing difficult times, with higher ingredient costs squeezing profits and a recessionary economic

has much room to grow
and expand, as it is becoming more readily available in food supermarkets, drugstores and mass-merchandisers
(FDM), in addition to convenience stores and vending machines. Packaged Facts forecasted
that total chocolate sales would grow to 5.3% in 2008, while the premium sector would increase 15% in 2008, and 10% through 2012. New chocolate candy products increased 22%
in 2007, although this is predicted to trend down to around 11% in 2008. At the same time,
per capita consumption of premium chocolate rose from 10% in 2003 to 14% in 2007.
New product claims are becoming increasingly important and noticed by consumers, and
the top 20 package tags accounted for 88% of all claims. Premiumization claims (upscale,
gourmet, natural or organic) accounted for 60% of all claims, and health claims accounted for 11.8%. Some health-oriented terms include no preservatives, high antioxidants,
no trans-fat or no sugar. While the same five claims consistently ended up in the top 10 positions, the high antioxidants claim when from last (No. 30) to No. 7 in 2006.
The report identified several trends that are making their way through the premium chocolate sector, which can be utilized to push the segment as a whole forward.
- Microbatch So-called bean to bar chocolates focus on searching the world for unique
cocoa beans and making small batches with them. This in turn allows for greater control,
as well as greater innovation.

health-wellness chocolate is new to the game. Adding omega fatty acids, lowering sugar

- Ultra Dark Bars Cocoa levels exceeding 70% are becoming more common as more consumers now look for the cocoa content on the outside packaging. Lindt is a little more daring with its Lindt Excellence 99% Cocoa Bar.
- Filled Bars This seems to be a largely untapped sector of premium chocolates, and companies are advised to change that. Nielsen claims that only 1.5% of chocolate bars are
filled, but that 62% of consumers consider them their favorite kind of chocolate.
SWISS MANUFACTURER INVENTS NO-MELT, LOW-CALORIE CHOCOLATE
Zurich based chocolate manufacturer Barry Callebaut created a low-calorie chocolate that is
melt-resistant. The product, called Vulcano, begins to melt only once it enters the mouth
because of the enzymes in the saliva, stated company spokeswoman Gaby Tschofen. Regular chocolate starts to soften at around 85 degrees, while Barry Callebaut claims that Vulcano can withstand heat up to 130 degrees, reported Time (July 22). The manufacturer also
claims that its new product has 90% fewer calories than standard chocolate because it contains less fatty ingredients such as cocoa butter.
CONFECTIONERY SEGMENT HOLDS POTENTIAL FOR GLOBAL INFLUENCE
The so-called maturing American palette is leading confectionery manufacturers to expand
their offerings by experimenting with flavors, flexibility and variety, according to the National Confectioners Associations Confectionary Industry Trend Report 2009. In 2008
alone, over 6,000 confectionery and snacks were introduced, and the confectionery category
as a whole led in sales and was third in food sales overall. This segment of the food industry is quite fortunate during these tough economic times, as consumers still consider them

to be affordable luxuries. Overall,

most confectioners are embracing to
some extent the social responsibility
trend, as 65% of experts claim that
eco-friendly practices will influence
product development and consumer
purchasing. Portion-control sized
products are also considered to be
the next big trend, especially products considered to be better for
you or those with supposed health
benefits.
In terms of chocolate, experts are

predicting that the product will start showing up more often in meals other than dessert, as
73% are expecting chocolate in main dishes while 38% think more will appear in appetizers.
A positive aspect of chocolate is its potential versatility, and the acceptance experts are expecting from the general public of these new varieties. About 43% claim consumers will become more open to chocolate and flavor infusions that includes spices, salts, herbs and
floral flavors. Pairing with exotic fruits such as mangoes, ethnic flavors and sweet and savory combinations like chocolate and bacon and chocolate and cheese will be on the rise in
the future, according to experts. The health benefits of chocolate will be emphasized in the
future, such as the amount of antioxidants in the product, and almost 50% of experts plan
to see more research into this segment. Consumer awareness about chocolate products
also seems to be expanding, and one-third of experts [claiming] consumers will become
more knowledgeable about the global origin of the chocolate they enjoy. Portion-controlled products are allowing consumers to incorporate candy and chocolate into a healthy
lifestyle, and 43% claim health-related influences will be the leading influence on new product development in the confectionary industry overall. Within the health category, there are
several driving factors, according to experts:
- 35% believe portion control is the leading influencer
- 25% think fortified products is the foremost driving factor
- 45% note an emerging trend towards healthier chocolate options
- In terms of oral-health care, 25% imagine that sugar-free gum options will become more
common.
Limited edition products, which allow confectionery makers the freedom to experiment
with flavors in a variety of ways, are foreseen to continue giving the American palette food
for thought. Global influences and ethnic flavors are also appearing in more confections
and chocolates and will have a large influence on new U.S. products, claims 58% of experts.
In 2009, Asian and Latin flavors are the biggest influences, although some experts were
pointing to Europe as well as Japan as emerging countries. At the same time, a third claim
that trends that occur in the U.S. will have the greatest impact on the dark chocolate market
and 20% think that the U.S. confection market will influence product pricing and economic
issues overseas. When it comes to confections for children, it seems that intense and interactive go hand in hand for popularity.
... With the increased cost of ingredients, the bakery sector has been one of the hardest hit,
and price increases in this section are not often tolerated by consumers. Consolidation in
the category has been widespread as smaller companies can not keep up with costs.

BREAD DOLLAR SALES GROW BUT UNIT VOLUME UNDER PRESSURE

Bread sales in 2008 were up 4.1% from 2007, according to Information Resources, Inc. (IRI)
This comes as a result of almost double-digit baking ingredient costs, which in turn made
prices rise and sales volume drop, reported Milling & Baking News. Unit sales were 3.1 billion, down 4.2%, according to IRI. Ingredient price pressures have been hard over the past
two years, especially in

declines since filing for
bankruptcy in 2004. The
company is currently ranked third, however, if sales continue the way they have they could
easily slip to fifth place. Meanwhile, Flowers Foods achieved record profits in 2007, with
predictions for 2008 positive. The group has been active in its acquisitions, taking over
Phoenix, AZ-based Holsum Bakery and Lakeland, FL-based ButterKrust Bakery. The company
predicts the acquisitions will add about 10% to its annual sales, which reached $2,037 million in 2007. Net income was up 17% and sales were up 8% from 2007. Higher sales and
lower operating costs were not enough to offset high input costs for Grupo Bimbo S.A.B.
The group suffered a second quarter operating loss of $3.5 million. Campbell Soup Co.s
Baking and Snacking division has been weathering the storm, sales were up 11% while operating earnings were down. Weston Foods is also holding its own, operating income rose 29%
to $97.8 million.
CRACKERS MAKE A COMEBACK DESPITE MAJOR OBSTACLES
As the recession continues, consumers are using greater discretion when it comes to purchasing grain-based foods, including crackers. In the 52 weeks ended June 14, 2009, total
cracker dollar sales reached $3.9 billion, up nearly 4% from the same period a year earlier.
Unit sales, however, fell 4% to 1.6 billion, according to Information Resources, Inc. (IRI), reported Milling and Baking News (July 28, 2008). As with other grain-based categories, the
private label sector has fared well. Private label cracker dollar sales were up 19% in the 52
weeks ended June 14, while unit sales jumped 9%. The trend toward private label products
is not expected to change in the near future, according to Store Brands and the Recession,
a consumer research report issued in July by the Private Label Manufacturers Association.
Some 30% of consumers are buying more store brands then they did a year ago, the report
found.
The growth of private label is affecting name brands. Kraft Foods Inc. suffered a 0.77% drop
in dollar sales and 8% decline in unit sales during the period ended June 14. Units of the
companys best-selling brands, Nabisco Ritz, Nabisco Wheat Thins and Nabisco Triscuit fell
3%, 17% and 8%, respectively. Meanwhile, The Keebler Co., a subsidiary of The Kellogg Co.,
generated a 7% year-over-year dollar sales growth despite a narrow 0.46% drop in unit sales
during the period. Keebler experienced strong growth with its Sunshine Cheez-It brand. In
January, the brand rolled out Cheez-It Scrabble Junior crackers. We tested the concept of
Scrabble Jr. licensed property in the form of our Cheez-It crackers with moms, stated
Michael Morrissey, Kellogg spokesperson. They responded very well to it. They liked that
its a fun cheese snack that their kids could enjoy, and that encourages parent-child interaction. The product has done well and is now available nationally.

A major challenge for all the top cracker companies came in the form of an early January
2009 recall of peanut butter produced by the Peanut Corporation of America due to a Salmonella outbreak. Dollar sales for peanut butter-filled crackers fell 7% in the 52 weeks
ended June 14, 2009 on a 15% decline in unit sales. Kraft Foods and Lance, Inc. were greatly
affected by the recall, though neither companys products were directly involved with the recall. The industry is beginning to recover from the recall, and Lance, with unit sales down
2% year-over-year, is rebounding faster than most. We have seen a very meaningful rebound in sales since February and we currently anticipate pretty well normal volume levels
for the remainder of the year, according to David Singer, president and CEO of Lance.
SUCCESSFUL PRACTICES OF EIGHT CPG MANUFACTURERS
The CPG industry is mostly composed of a small number of multi-national brands with a
global presence, and a larger number of manufacturers who operate on a local, regional or
national level. Packaged Facts report Top Global Food and Beverage Companies: Strategies
For Success examined some of the largest CPG manufacturers, selecting eight who exemplify their ideal model for success: Nestle, Kellogg, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Wrigley, Kraft,
Heinz, Danone and Coca-Cola. The foremost trait among these companies is a commitment
to innovation and the ability to create products that meet the changing needs of a variety of
consumers. To accomplish this, these companies create brands that can be adapted to consumers on a local or cultural level in different markets, but retain a global iconic image that
is instantly recognizable around the world.
Food and beverage makers must build their brands with layers of tangible and intangible
benefits, including quality, taste and health, but the intangible benefits cultivated by advertising and promotion are equally as useful for establishing a brand, especially one that can
transcend geographical or social borders. Creating brand equity is very important for CPG
manufacturers, as it is considered a key business asset and can drive revenue or profitability. If a brand fosters a positive image or becomes identifiable for its unique characteristics,
it also becomes a commodity that can also be sold to another company if it no longer fits
with other brands in a companys portfolio. It is clear that establishing a brand is vital for increasing business and expanding into new markets. But considering how few food and bev69
erage manufacturers are able to position themselves or their brands globally, understanding
exactly why global giants like Nestle, Coca-Cola and Danone have succeeded offers numerous insights. While the current economic climate makes it enormously difficult to grow internationally, and competition today is fiercer than ever before, these firms continue to
expand throughout the world. Aside from extensive amounts of capital and the supply
needed to meet demand, what distinguishes these company strategies from those that can
not break into international markets?
First, CPG manufacturers must understand that the market has changed significantly within
the last few years, and changes are occurring at such a rapid pace that business models
need to be constantly revised. The CPG industry also is now facing more challenges and
trends driving change than ever before, according to Packaged Facts. Food and beverage
manufacturers must cater to a growing consumer preference for healthier food and beverages and also please stakeholders demanding the company take greater responsibility for
its impact on health, the environment and society. Competition among CPG companies has
also increased to unprecedented levels as continuous innovation sets new standards in mature markets. Internationally, emerging markets represent considerable growth opportunities, though global economic and commodity pricing pressures continue to impact on food
and beverage manufacturers everywhere. In Western economies, food and beverage producers typically operate under low volume growth and low margins, as the pricing influence of
global retail chains cut into manufacturer profits. And although some manufacturers have
decreased package sizes to offset costs, companies need to implement cost-shaving strategies without jeopardizing customer satisfaction and brand confidence.
While the influence of these mega-trends has existed for some time, what is new is how interrelated these mega-trends are, and the reach over numerous markets that they exert. In
particular, health, nutrition and corporate responsibility are all linked, with demands being
made by better-informed and empowered consumers, who expect more and are less engaged by traditional advertising. Company stakeholders also have higher expectations of
food and beverage manufacturers, echoing the same concerns as consumers for the sake of
their own investments. CPG companies must address such concerns to assuage any doubt
over the quality of products purchased or whether a company has enough integrity to remain a good investment.
The largest food and beverage manufacturers have taken note of these demands, as Deloittes Food and Beverage 2012 study found that 79% of the 93 top executives surveyed
claimed health/nutrition as the principle issue driving the industry forward. With the global
obesity epidemic affecting both developed and developing countries, the World Health Organization estimates that 1.5 billion adults aged over 15 are overweight and 400 million are
obese. Such staggering numbers have created new expectations for CPG manufacturers, and
consumers believe that food companies have a responsibility to keep their customers
healthy. The Ketchum study Food 2020: The Consumer As CEO found that of 1,000 consumers surveyed across the U.S., UK, Germany, Argentina and China, 75% would like CPG
manufacturers to create more products that reduce the risk of future major health issues. In
response, some manufacturers adopted self-regulatory strategies, such as Krafts promise
not to advertise unhealthy products to children under 12. But pressure to increase health
and nutrition standards is strong from industry and consumer associations, with Consumers
International calling for government regulation on the food and beverage industry.
The efforts of food manufacturers to answer criticism of their products have had mixed re70
sults. Danones divestiture of its biscuits business and the success of its Activia and Actimel
functional dairy products contributed to one of the strongest growth figures on Interbrands
Best Global Brand List 2008, at 8%. Other brands, like Coca-Cola and Kellogg, have not received the same praise in their own attempts to address consumer health concerns. The
sugar content in Kelloggs cereals also brought the food manufacturer unwanted attention
in 2006, and the food processor cut advertising to children a year later when faced with a
lawsuit. While some of the major food and beverage processors have stumbled in their efforts to rectify poor nutritional practices, to dismiss consumer alarm would be careless.
Strict regulation and adherence to safety standards would do much to prevent litigation and
distinguish one manufacturers devotion to todays problems from anothers token efforts.
Should greater legislation be enacted, the companies better prepared for it will suffer the
pains of mandated regulation much less.
For CPG manufacturers, the importance of innovation for success and longevity is incapable
of being overstated. As competition increases and profit margins shrink, it is a considerable
advantage to be at the forefront of innovation and beyond the efforts of other food and beverage companies. But innovation does not necessarily produce positive sales growth for
companies, at least when it pertains to new brands; Information Resources, Inc.s New Product Pacesetters (2007) found that less than 20% of new brands record revenues in excess of
$50 million. Innovation, when applied to other segments of the value chain such as retail
strategies, sustainable policies and technological changes can reduce costs, increase the
bottom line and better prepare brands for entrance into new markets or market consolidation.
Ultimately, innovation accomplishes little unless it contributes to an already existing brand,
especially a well-established one. So-called blockbuster brands benefit most from innovation, as they are the primary assets driving revenue and determining shareholder value, and
would thus experience the greatest benefits, in terms of scale, of innovative efforts. It
comes as little surprise that companies like Nestle and Mars Wrigley are expanding their research and development resources through acquisitions. On a smaller scale, innovation can
be focused on the premiumization of second- or third-tier brands within a companys portfolio, often through the inclusion of organic or functional ingredients in luxury brands and
products made for developed countries.
But it is the global megabrands that sit at the core
of a companys portfolio,
and are essentially the
lifeblood of any CPG manufacturer, according to
Packaged Facts. Value for
these brands is dependent
on reaching elevated quality
standards and extending
across numerous markets
to meet changing consumer
needs and desires. The

levels has allowed food and beverage manufacturers access to greater geographic and demographic markets, but innovation is key to maintaining the inherent quality expected of
a brand from consumers. Among the brands in the study, Coca-Cola adapted its Coke brand
to meet new customer desires for a low-calorie Coke beverage with the introduction of Coke
Zero while Nestle transformed itself into a global multifocal organization, bringing its brand
to localized, specific markets. As Nestle is aware, to be internationally successful, a food
and beverage manufacturer must adapt their brands locally, and balance standardization
with localization. To do this, ingredients, packaging, marketing and distribution may all
need to be adjusted to fit the consumer.
One global trend that has made business more complex and difficult for CPG manufacturers
is the simultaneous globalization and empowerment of grocery retailing, especially in developed markets. Large format stores have come to dominate the retail landscape, as Wal-Mart,
Carrefour and Tesco have all grown and expanded internationally, even into each others
spheres of influence, as is the case of Wal-Mart and Tesco in the western U.S. As retailers
make great strides in differentiating themselves from others and offer more services and
shopping experiences for consumers, they grew stronger and can now use greater influence
in their demands to CPG manufacturers. Along with this influence, the increased prominence of private brands on store shelves puts more pressure on the CPG industry, as retailers are no longer entirely reliant on manufacturers to fill shelves. Partly because of an
economic downturn tightening the purse strings of consumers and partly because of the
greater emphasis on own-brands by

Much like the tiered branding of CPG

manufacturers, many private-label
brands offer multiple pricing and
quality levels for consumer needs.
Packaged Facts identifies Tesco as
one of the most successful in this regard, including in its private-label
portfolio Tesco Finest, Tesco Value,
Tesco Healthy Living and Tesco Organic, in addition to standard Tesco
labels. The variety of private-label
products from one retailer alone now
creates competition with CPG manufacturers on numerous tiers. As food and beverage manufacturers are dependent on retailers for a high proportion of sales, retailers and grocers
can use this leverage to demand more from producers; therefore close relationships with retailers are imperative for those in the consumer packaged goods industry.
For the larger food and beverage companies, diminishing profits in developed markets and
the international expansion of competitors necessitates a global presence. The economic
downturn and collapse of entire economies provides an excellent argument for the proliferation of a brand into numerous regions to reduce the impact of recession in certain markets.
Though the finances of the developed world are inseparably linked to the developing world,
declining consumer confidence, greater awareness and expectations in developed markets
72
all contribute to slimming margins there for CPG manufacturers, in addition to the growing
influence of private-label goods. To acquire new revenue sources and lower manufacturing
and service costs, entrance of brands into new global markets is essential, according to
Packaged Facts. Although the recognition of this need is simple, the execution of brand expansion is immensely difficult and time-exhaustive. The major CPG manufacturers studied
achieved brand recognition and a global presence after decades of focused effort, planning
and applied marketing prowess. The companies able to accomplish this did so by delivering
brands with a consistent set of values and pursuing rigorous innovations. Most important,
however, is the creation of a universal appeal for products that are not restricted within national or cultural boundaries.
Fortunately for food and beverage companies, the difference in income levels between developed and developing countries is evaporating, giving CPG manufacturers a larger group
of middle-class consumers to target. Combined with the high portion of food, beverage and
tobacco expenditures as part of total consumer expenditure in countries like India and
China, at 36.5% and 27.3% respectively, the prospects in developing markets are very attractive. Displacing local food producers and established brands is a difficult task for companies
on the outside of markets looking in, but mergers and acquisitions remain a successful
strategy for entering new territories. Not only can mergers remove brand competition or
lend new products the consumer acceptance earned by existing regional brands, they also
allow access to infrastructure and distribution networks.
Truly, the environment for smaller, more regionalized food and beverage manufacturers to
grow is not growing. Even if a CPG manufacturer employs the strategies that have made Anheuser-Busch InBev or Heinz successful, it is not likely that they would be able to compete
on the same level as the multinational giants. But, as a processor operating in a niche market, or growing within an established market, to not recognize the importance of maintaining positive relations with retailers or answering consumer health concerns will only bring
failure more swiftly. And for the numerous companies not mentioned among Packaged
Facts elite eight, it is possible that by recognizing a lucrative market, an unfilled consumer need and the practices that enabled some food and beverage manufacturers to capitalize on opportunities, a producer can begin the process of establishing a long-term
identity in a fresh area.

BEVERAGE BRANDS STAY AFLOAT VIA MARKETING STRATEGIES
Like most every segment in the food industry, the beverage market is subject to recessionary spending decreases, and 2008 experienced the first volume decline on record. Still, despite the fact that consumers are buying fewer bottled beverages, thousands of products
continue to launch each year, keeping it one of the most competitive categories in the industry. Advertising Age

panies in the beverage
and bottling market as potential acquisition targets, and their success is largely the result of the marketing strategies
that elevate the brands above the others fighting for market share in a harsh and lean economy.
Bawls Guarana originated as a college class project in 1996 when CEO Hoby Buppert began
his search for an alternative to coffee. Mr. Buppert created a high-caffeine soda using the
Amazonian guarana berry, which contains a form of caffeine almost three times stronger
than the kind used in traditional sodas. In 2008, BevNet named the companys G33K B33R
flavor Energy Drink of the Year.
Bawls Guarana is marketed through sponsorships in three particular communities often
overlooked by marketers: gamers, paintball enthusiasts and the BMX racing world. The beverage was also featured in movies and TV shows, appearing in the film Role Models as well
as HBOs Entourage. Bawls COO Christina Staalstrom describes the companys strategy as
focusing marketing initiatives to the consumer based not on the product, but on the
lifestyle; Support your consumers, and become a part of their culture, Ms. Staalstrom advised.
Tom First, co-founder of Nantucket Nectars, sold that beverage brand but later re-entered
the drinks market in 2004 with Owater, marketed as a healthy sports drink. Owater contains fewer calories than average sports drinks, and is made with no artificial flavors or colors. The brand reported almost $4 million in sales in 2008, and is expected to grow 65% in
76
2009.
Mr. First is primarily using radio ads to market Owater, holding conversations with athletes
like Boston Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and the Boston triathlon team, who are also
slated to appear on product labels. Owater is available at Whole Foods Market, Stop & Shop,
Duane Reade and Au Bon Pain.
Muscle Milk started as a family-run operation in 1997 with five staffers and grew to employ
more than 200, largely on word-of-mouth marketing. The brand, which advertises itself as a
functional beverage, was awarded 2008s Beverage of the Year by BevNet. Recently, the
company hired San Francisco advertising agency Pereira & ODell in an attempt to reach beyond the fitness crowd that helped popularize Muscle Milk. Cytosport, which makes the
drink, plans to market the brand as more of a lifestyle drink for busy, on-the-go consumers,
and will increasingly focus on advertising to women. Muscle Milk retails at grocery stores,
Target and in some delis.
Cytosport Marketing VP Nikki Brown believes it is important for beverage manufacturers to
align themselves with a very robust, go-to-market, unified distribution system, which Cytosport did with Pepsi Bottling Group and Pepsi Americas. The company also made taste a
focal point of product development, not only to keep loyal customers pleased, but also to
appeal to a wider audience not entirely attracted by the drinks nutritionally focused advertising.
An early beverage in the natural and organic category, Sweet Leaf Tea was founded in 1998
by Clayton Christopher and David Smith. A $15.6 million investment from Nestle Waters will
bring the brand more into the mainstream, and the brand is expected to grow 50% in 2009
after selling fewer than two million cases in 2008. Sweet Leaf is now distributed to retailers
including Kroger and Safeway.
Sweet Leaf Tea, like Bawls Guarana, promotes itself through nontraditional channels and
plans to establish a marketing presence through sponsorships of popular music festivals
like Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits. The brand is looking to start sponsoring individual
athletes and bands, and is utilizing social media like blogs and Twitter to distinguish themselves from the many other specialty beverage brands presenting a naturalistic image. Sweet
Leaf held sampling events in large cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and
Boston this past summer.
Natural sports drink Zico was introduced in 2004 by Mark Rampolla, a former Peace Corps
volunteer who was exposed to coconut water while in Central America. Produced in Brazil
with green coconuts, Zicos sales grew 250% each of the previous four years, Mr. Rampolla
claimed.
Zico is available at Whole Foods and natural-food retailers in larger cities, but the first stage
of growth in new markets begins at hot-yoga studios. Once a foothold is established, the
beverage brand focuses on sampling events and blogs centered around fitness. Explaining
Zicos growth strategy, Mr. Rampolla emphasizes the importance of discipline and patience;
while the brand is not profitable yet, the company is investing in growth and in sustained
public relations. Whether building initially on word-of-mouth marketing through yoga parlors and loyal consumers or slowly cultivating a larger brand image through PR campaigns,
Zico is interested in steadily constructing a foundation that will support the brand
TAZO TEA FOUNDER LAUNCHES NEW VENTURE
Tazo Tea founder Steve Smith launched a new venture, Portland, OR-based Smith Teamaker,
an outlet to distribute small batches of loose and ready-to-drink teas, reported
77
OregonLive.com (May 14). Mr. Smith sold Tazo Tea to Starbucks in 1999 for a reported $9.1
million, and as co-founder of Stash Tea Co., sold out to Yamamotoyama in 1993. The tea
veteran, after leaving his position at Starbucks and a one-year sabbatical in France launched
the company in September. Mr. Smith believes specializing in small manufactured batches
will help to set the product apart from an already saturated tea market. Creative small
batches are areas where we can stretch, where a tea can go. Of course, before you start
breaking the rules, combining ingredients that may be somewhat unexpected, you also have
to cover the classics. If you want to sell to a great restaurant, hotel or specialty shop, you really have to cover those.
Smith Teamaker also plans on making a foray into the functional tea category. Mr. Smith
plans on drawing from Chinese medicine, eastern European herbals, American Indian traditions and Indian ayurvedic flavor profiles and formulas. The company is hoping to appeal to
early adopters, those that really understand tea as well as customers new to tea. The venture is a made-to-order tea program. Consumers will get a sense of where the product is
coming from, when it was harvested and when it was blended. Regarding launching a new
company amidst a recession, Mr. Smith stated that tea is an affordable luxury and that the
company plans to enter the market small after garnering community support. Ultimately,
my measure of success will be being recognized as an innovative player that, when placed in
the proper channels with the proper demographics in mind, makes money for the people
who handle it, whether thats a restaurant or retail shop, like Dean And Deluca.
CONFECTIONERY INDUSTRY POSTS 3.7% YEAR-OVER-YEAR GAIN: REPORT

back and holiday hot spot.
NEW CHOCOLATE PURCHASING PATTERNS SWEET NEWS FOR HERSHEY
While supermarket sales in the premium chocolate category in the fourth quarter of 2008
were flat versus last year, noted Hersheys chief executive David West, Hershey Co.s fourth
quarter profit (up 51%) and sales growth suggests the demand for chocolate remains strong,
reported The Wall Street Journal (Jan. 28). However, the demand is for lower-priced chocolates. Consumers are trading down when it comes to chocolates, just as they are doing in
other areas such as eating out and coffee, amid the slumping economy.
Consumers already traded down to Hersheys lower-priced Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Hersheys chocolate bars and Kit Kat wafers, stated Mr. West. Also, the Pennsylvania-based
78
chocolate maker noticed an increase in sales at discount retailers and convenience stores as
gasoline prices fell.
Sales gains from Hershey bars and other core products were partially offset by a decline in
sales of Hersheys Kisses. The brand suffered from an abundance of Kisses varieties, noted
Mr. West. Currently, the company is scaling back the number of products and launching
new ads.
Retailers will probably devote less shelf space to premium chocolates, according to Mr.
West, who noted manufacturers have been making premium chocolates faster than consumers have been buying them.
Although Hershey is also a player in the premium chocolate segment, it was slow to come
on board. In 2008, Hershey was struggling to keep pace with rival Mars Inc., which captured market share with its upscale Dove dark-chocolate candies. Hershey responded last
year with its Bliss chocolates, and teamed up with Starbucks Corp. to develop a line of premium chocolates is flavors such as caramel macchiato and Madagascar vanilla bean.
Some high-end chocolatiers similarly noticed changes in spending patterns. Katrina Markoff,
president and founder of Chicago-based Vosges Haut-Chocolat, reported slower sales in the
fourth quarter in 2008. Consumers are not splurging on offerings that cost $100 and up,
but sales of products in the $25 to $50 range are growing, added Ms. Markoff.
Lindt & Sprungliag, the Swiss chocolate maker of premium Lindt chocolates, posted a 5.8%
sales increase in 2008, but stated it was at the low end of its long-term goal of 6% to 8% annual sales growth.

sales to grow. One of our best-selling products this holiday season was the Ultimate Collection, a $130 offering of the best of Godiva truffles, chocolate and biscuits, stated Mr.
Goldsan. Lower-priced items also sold well during the winter holidays, added the executive,
while projecting strong Valentine sales.
NEW BABY FOOD PRODUCTS DESIGNED TO ATTRACT MOMS LONGER
Food industry insiders estimate that baby foods and formulas generate around $5 billion in
annual sales, and that supermarkets account for 50% of baby formula and 60% of baby food
sales, according to Groceryheadquarters.com (Jan. 1). Everyone knows that young moms
are a high-value customer, stated Ken Kotkin, director of business analytics and category
management for Nestle Infant Nutrition, maker of Good Start, Gerber and Graduate brands.
Lengthening the time children eat baby food is one way to secure heavier trips for our grocery partners.
Nestle Infant Nutrition continues to expand into what company officials call up-age food
products. The Graduate brand, which was created specifically for toddlers, grew 14% to 15%
year-over-year for the past five years, estimates Mr. Kotkin. Beech-Nuts Lets Grow! line was
also designed for toddlers with the intention of keeping moms in the baby aisle longer. Our
research shows that the introduction of Lets Grow! attracts additional shoppers, which will
spur additional sales for retailers, stated Christoph Rudolf, president of Hero North America/Beech-Nut. Thats our strategy for Lets Grow!not to substitute sales, but grow the
overall category.
In addition to the Graduate line, Nestle Infant Nutrition is expanding its nutritional beverage
strategy with the launch of healthier versions of existing nutritional beverages. The new
beverage products include an expansion of dairy offerings and yogurt drinks. Products that
include omega-3 DHA also drive the category, according to Rick Klauser, Nestle Infant Nutri79
tions vice president of marketing. With the knowledge that moms are continuously looking
for nutritious and convenient foods, Beech-Nut also created its Beech-Nut Advanced Nutrition platform.
New moms may find it difficult to determine exactly what food is right for their baby, which
can enhance the communication and shopability at the retail level, resulting in greater sales
volume. In an effort to help consumers and drive sales, Nestle Infant Nutrition created what
it terms an integrated eating system, which encompasses its foods from birth to 48 months.
The system features product iconography and color-coding throughout the companys entire portfolio and provides important information on-package that will help moms understand what stage their child is in as well as which products should be served to their babies.
As part of Beech-Nuts plan to strengthen its consumer message, the company rolled out a
packaging and labeling update intended to strengthen their all-natural and nutrition-based
products. Like Nestle, the plan includes product color-coding. Beech-Nuts color-coding corresponds to the fruits and vegetables, meats and cereals on the USDA food pyramid. Callouts on infant stage products intended to create greater segmentation are included as well.

PRIVATE LABEL
... In 2009, private label products grew in popularity due to increases in available products
and in correlation with the depressed economy. Nearly two-thirds of shoppers buy private
label over name brands, according to Information Resources, Inc.s Private Label 2009: Understanding and Mitigating Private Label Threat. Consumers have cultivated the desire for
value and quality at a lower price.
PRIVATE LABEL POPULARITY INCREASES
U.S. shoppers spent $81 billion on store brand items in 2008, marking a 10% increase in
sales in 2007, reported Whole Foods Magazine (June). Over half of shoppers (62%) state
store brands are as good in quality as name brands, with 35% willing to pay as much or
more for a high-quality store brand. Private label retailing, while not a new concept, has finally come into its own, stated Douglas Preston, president of Preston Private Label Products.
A factor giving the segment tread is the transformation to a quasi name brand. This involves enticing consumers with products that are competitive with brand names in areas
that go beyond price. Retailers have masterfully shifted the consumer consciousness from
generic to private label, from no brand to store brand. This category now implies a strong
consumer value: high quality and low price. Store brands are as thoughtfully packaged as
their branded counterparts, with the quality backed by integrity of the retailer, stated Karl
S. Halpert, president and CEO of Private Label Select Ltd. Co.
Store brands can add to stores individuality, offering something new and different. This can
be especially true of younger shoppers who have begun to identify more with niche brands
than mass brands, distinguishing themselves as unique and individualistic, stated Mr. Preston.

IRI EXPLORES CURRENT AND EMERGING PRIVATE LABEL TRENDS

Consumer behaviors have changed dramatically over the last few years. Despite signs of
economic improvement, consumers remain in savings mode. This attitude change increased
the popularity and sales of private label products, according to Information Resources, Inc.s
(IRI) Times And Trends: Private Label 2009: Game Changing Economy Taking Private Label
To New Heights report. Over the years, retailers polished their private label offerings in
terms of differentiation. The timing of these efforts was scrupulous and in consequence private label was elevated to a new level. Private labels share of spending is the highest in the
grocery channel; however, dollar and drug retailers are also seeing positive growth. Private
labels in many categories are able to compete on quality and price and retailers continue to
increase their offerings. For example, Kroger increased its brands over three tiers: private
brands (premium tier), banner brands (mid-tier) and value brands (value tier). However, private label sales are concentrated among a small segment of the population, with heavy buyers accounting for 62% of sales. Private label categories, which represent 17% of CPG
categories, account for 69% of sales. The top 50 national brands represent less than half of
total dollar sales. Even heavy private label buyers only devote 22% of their CPG budget to
store brands. Innovation and affordability-focused brand positioning strategies can be used
to mitigate penetration gains.
Innovation and promotional support is increasing in the sector and indications are that recession-induced changes will remain long after the economy stabilizes and sees improvement. Retailers increasingly refined strategies should attract a larger and more diverse
shopper base. Manufacturers and retailers with an inside understanding will be able to develop and implement strategies successful within corporate goals and consumer needs. This
is the time for retail-based brands to excel and for national brands to increase competitive
efforts.
Current competition for CPG spending is intense. The average private label discount versus
88
national brand is 30%, but the average price gap varies across departments. Manufacturers
should invest to identify optimal price gap versus private labels by testing price changes
prior to and after rollouts and supporting price strategies with value-oriented promotions.
PRIVATE LABEL GROWTH AREAS: IRI
About 78% of both lower and higher-income consumers believe private labels are typically of
excellent quality, according to Information Resources, Inc.s Private Label 2009: Understanding and Mitigating Private Label Threat. During the first half of 2009, private label unit
share rose in five of six departments, led by fresh/ perishables and followed by healthcare
and frozen foods. Dollar share increased in 13 of 15 categories. At the forefront was natural
cheese, butter and canned vegetables, followed by refrigerated fresh eggs, milk and frozen
seafood. Developing categories include peanut butter and cookies. Growth is slow amongst
coffee creamer, frozen seafood and refrigerated meat categories.
Regionally, grocery channel private label share is highest in the West at 25.2% and lowest in
the Northeast at 19.2%. As for individual markets Wichita, KS leads in unit sales at 33.3% in
2008 and New York City had the lowest with 14.2%. Consumers across all income levels and
age groups agree that variety is a strong factor when purchasing private label. About 65%
prefer stores with high private label variety, up five points from 2007. This change indicates
that retailers should think about variety in terms of products and packaging within a category, while manufacturers should think of ways to expand consumer expectations when it
comes to choice.

ECONOMY CAUSING CONSUMERS TO CHANGE SHOPPING HABITS

U.S. consumers are changing their supermarket shopping habits and are shifting towards an
increase in private label purchases, according to a nationwide poll conducted by GFK Custom Research North America for the Private Label Manufacturers Association. According to
Store Brands and The Recession, more than 30% of consumers are buying more store brand
products compared to 2008, and about 23% expect to buy more private label in 2010.
Nearly 75% of consumers state the current economic conditions are an important factor in
deciding to buy more private label items. Moreover, one out of three claim the economy is a
very important overall purchasing factor.
The number of consumers that buy private label products frequently increased to 55%
from 41% in 2006 and 12% in 1991. This ties in with the fact that more than 77% believe
store brands are as good as, if not better than, national brands. This trend was shared
across all income levels and regional demographics. In addition, consumers are looking beyond traditional supermarket concepts to do their shopping, about 59%, a drop of 11% from
2006. The survey also found that 67% of respondents go to two or more stores to do their
main grocery shopping; reasons include lower prices and variety. In addition, 50% of respondents expect to prepare and eat more meals at home. Looking ahead to the future, almost
half claim they expect to do much of the same for the rest of 2009.

SURVEY: FOOD PRICES AFFECT CHOICES

The current economy has forced consumers to change their longstanding patterns of eating
out and buying food and beverages in retail stores. It is likely that these new, frugal behaviors will be carried throughout a consumers lifetime, according to the National Grocers Association/SupermarketGuru 2009 Consumer Panel Survey.
American consumers expect food retailers to satisfy them more in areas of price/cost savings, service and assortments with special attention on healthful, locally grown foods. With
most households spending $96 or more each week on groceries, stores that help them save
with little compromise will gain a vital edge and help reinforce a long-term relationship.
Some 84% of survey respondents claim to buy the majority of their food in supermarkets.
Mass merchandiser stores attract 7% and clubs 3%. The three lowest income tiers made up
the highest numbers of respondents who stated that they primarily shop in supermarkets:
15% in the $25,001-$45,000 tier, 14% in the $45,001-$65,000 tier and 11% in the $25,000
or less tier. These same three income groups posted higher in their share of primary mass
shoppers for food: 23% in the $25,001-$45,000 tier, 20% in the $45,001-$65,000 tier and
18% in the $25,000 or less tier. Bargain hunters from the $105,001-$125,000 tier came in
fourth at 6%. A year ago, 84% of respondents cited supermarkets, 6% mass and 3% specialty
food stores and clubs as their primary food sources.
Low prices have risen significantly as a consumer concern from 2008. Some 52% of respondents claim that low prices are very important, while another 45% claim it is somewhat important. At the same time in 2008, 45% of respondents thought price was very important.

... In response to consumer trends, retailers are offering more private label products than
ever before. Whether products are being introduced or extended, consumer sentiment has
been noted.
RETAILERS EXPAND PRIVATE LABEL OFFERINGS
More stores are increasing their private label offerings in response to heightened consumer
demand, according to a study from Clear Seas Research, reported Private Label Buyer.
About 91% of retailers surveyed in May 2009[stated] they intend to expand their private
label offerings over the next several years. The largest group 42% - reported plans to increase own brand penetration more than five points. Customer loyalty, differentiation from
competitors and higher margins were all listed as reasons for retailers to enhance their
product lines, while the best opportunities, according to the article, will be found in shortterm growth in center store, refrigerated/frozen, natural/organic and upscale/gourmet departments.
Retailers favor a balanced approach in terms of growth, as the majority stated that an
amalgamation of three types of programs (national brand equivalent, value/economy and
upscale/premium) would provide the optimal likelihood of success. Who should bear the
brunt of the financial responsibility of the program, meanwhile, was a hotly contended
issue, with 48% claiming the supplier should take the majority and 45% stating the burden
should be shared, while only 7% thought the retailer alone should be impacted. Some 44%
of retailers cited pricing as the biggest challenge in the private label retailer-supplier relationship, followed by lack of innovation and lack of packaging options. The report also
found that most retailers (60%) currently use 25 or fewer manufacturers to supply their private label program, while 34% manufacture some or all of their own private label products.
The private label sector as a whole grew 9.3% in 2008, as compared to 4.5% for branded
food sales, and may grow 8.1% more by the end of year, according to Mintel-GNPD. In 2009,
1,800 new U.S. private label foods appear on retail shelves: 27% of all food products introduced this year. In 2005, private label food comprised only 13% of new food product
launches. Private label products have evolved over the past few years, going from no-label
brand-name alternatives to staying current with recent food trends. Premium ingredients
used in quality in-home meals will be key to keep consumers coming back, such as SUPERVALUs Culinary Circle

tion is slowly gaining as well. Lucerne Foods Eating Right brand spans multiple meals, including whole-wheat mini ravioli, apple cinnamon granola and light ice cream cups. Retailers no longer only launch me-too products to compete against major national brands,
explains Mintel senior analyst Krista Faron. Instead, private labels are hotbeds of creativity,
driving markets and establishing themselves as trend leaders.
CONSUMERS TURNING TO VALUE AND PREMIUM BRANDS
Consumers are gravitating towards value brands as a way to save money, but they are also
increasing their purchases of premium brands, according to Information Resources, Inc.s
(IRI) Times & Trends Report: The Value/Dichotomy: Growth at Both Ends of the Spectrum.
However, mid-tier brands are lagging behind. On a unit sales basis, value brands grew over
2% in 2009 over 2008, while premium brands sales decreased just over 1% and mid-tier
brands declined by almost 3%.
Several consumer trends united to create this dichotomy. One such trend is the move towards trading down. Consumers are putting aside loyalty to their traditional brands and opting for value brands instead, with both retailers private brands and economy brands from
national brand manufacturers. However, consumers are still interested in premium brands,
through what IRI calls sophisticated splurging. Premium brands are still being bought but
are being purchased at value stores. Premium sales increased the most at dollar stores, supercenters and Walmart, while reducing at grocery, drug, mass merchandise and club
stores.
In addition to this trend, retailers increased the sophistication of their private label offerings. Many offer high-end brands that offer a premium experience at a cost lower than premium national brands. However, premium brand sales are increasing due to consumers
concerns with health and wellness. For example, although bottled water unit sales decreased by 3% over the last year, premium bottled water unit sales rose 11%, driven by products like Glaceaus VitaminWater. Similarly, yogurt sales remained flat over the last year,
while premium yogurt sales rose 34%.
Consumers regarded as living comfortably increased premium brand spending by 2.4%
and those getting by heightened spending by 2.1%. Meanwhile, spending among the
doing well segment, which accounts for single-member households earning more than
$35,000 and two or more member households earning more than $55,000, dropped 1.4%.
Another trend is that consumers are trading dining out for maintaining other indulgences,
which includes confections. Of the top 10 items where brand preference is preferred to
price as the most important influence, chocolate candy was No. 1, as well as cookies and ice
cream/sherbet.
Manufacturers and retailers looking to increase and drive growth in both value and premium
brands should consider identifying new growth opportunities through shopper insights.
This can be done by continually monitoring economic, demographic and social shifts in
order to anticipate emerging trends. Tracking share shifts at the market and store levels
and across important income and consumer segments on a monthly basis is also helpful.
Another tip is to assess purchase trends across important categories and brands to determine pricing, promotion and distribution implications.
Manufacturers should also align strategies with altering shopping patterns. This can be
done by investing in product, merchandising and packaging innovation across key categories and brands. Working with retail partners to identify and improve product assortment
is also beneficial. Another tactic for both retailers and manufacturers is to measure and
monitor program impacts by tracking share shifts before and after changes in advertising,
96
pricing and promotion.

Retailers should also work with manufacturers to identify optimal assortment at the store
level. They should try to drive incremental purchases with cross-merchandising and crossmarketing programs, creating tie-ins and solutions-based programs when applicable. In addition, retailers should try redefining pricing strategies to ensure relevance and impact
through the new lens of affordability. This also means placing lower thresholds on quantity discounts, smaller pack sizes and lower price points. Continually monitoring actual versus projected sales growth cumulatively, across consumer segments and trip missions, is
also helpful.
PRIVATE LABEL ICE CREAM SEGMENT
GROWING IN SIZE, POPULARITY
As more consumers are buying private label food items because of the economic downturn,
more food companies are following that trend by putting their products into private label
form. Ice cream, once mostly brand names, is experiencing a growth phase to include
many private labels as well, according to Dairy Foods (January). Almost contrast to the
growth of private is the entire ice cream segment. Dollar sales across the main ice cream
sub-category was virtually flat through Nov. 2, 2008 while unit sales receded about 3%.
Overall, both ice cream-sherbet and novelties garnered sales gains in the 13 weeks ended
Sept. 28, 2008.
In 2005, private label ice cream items only took almost 18% of the market share. Private

Retailers and manufacturers are attempting to employ promotion and discount offers to entice customers to their products.
BATTLE FOR MARKET SHARE BETWEEN CPG COMPANIES, RETAILERS HEATS UP
The battle for market share between retailers touting private label offerings and consumer
packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers is continuing. Seeking sales and market share, retailers are utilizing tactics including giving away their own private label brands to consumers
purchasing branded foods and offering coupons to promote higher purchasing rates of private label offerings. Retailers are also continuing to go public with sentiments that consumer packaged goods companies should lower prices and continue to do so. To counter
these happenings, CPG companies are invoking their names in advertising campaigns and
introducing more lower-priced products.

PRIVATE LABELS ARE POPULAR IN

INTERNATIONAL MARKETS
In the developed parts of the world, the recession
prompted many consumers to purchase private label
products and frequent hard discounters, according
to revised forecasts from Canadean.
Specifically, the UK has one of the most advanced
private label markets in the world (valued at around
$100 billion), according to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service Gain Report, United Kingdom Retail Food
Sector UK Retail Market Brief 2008. The UKs major
supermarket chains dominate the private label market and on average 40%-50% of products in their
stores are private label. They give UK retailers the
opportunity to diversify their product ranges and develop new revenue streams. The extreme of UK private label grocery shopping can be witnessed by
visiting a Marks and Spencer (M&S) food hall. Ninetynine percent of what M&S sells is own label goods.
In a conference call in 2009 with investors,

Costco executive vice president and CFO
Richard A. Galanti emphasized that CPG manufacturers are starting to reduce prices, possibly
in reaction to rising private-label sales. The
branded companies are not passing all the savings back yet, but were starting to see them do
so, which is the right thing to do and its great
for consumers, stated Mr. Galanti, reported Supermarket News (May 29). Mr. Galanti suggested the CPG actions may be in response to the 300-basis-point increases Costco
registered in private label penetration relative to brands during the current fiscal year - increases Mr. Galanti pegged at 10% to 15%, compared with normal increases of 0.50% to
0.75%. That increased penetration of private label is equal to the decline in the sale of
those branded items, noted Mr. Galanti.
CPG companies are retaliating in various ways. For example, Conagra overtly used its name
in its advertising for the first time as part of its Food You Love campaign. The company
has an acute interest in promoting itself, as all of the companys sales are from branded
packaged food products, with about two-thirds from sales to retail customers. In 1998, 24%
of ConAgras sales were derived from branded food, 51% were from fresh meat and other
commodities and the rest from items including flour and spices, reported The Associated
Press (June 1). The adverting campaigns main targets are investors and retailers, not consumers, as they are already sold on brands including Egg Beaters and Orville Redenbacher,
according to CEO Gary Rodkin. The campaign is important, noted Christopher Shanahan, a
research analyst with Frost & Sullivan. Retailers want strong national brands. They produce
a lot of private label products but they want products in their stores that have a lot of marketing dollars behind it, stated Mr. Shanahan.
Meanwhile, Procter & Gamble Co. (P&G) increased its offerings of lower-priced products.
Outlining P&Gs strategies to improve sales in a difficult economic climate, chief executive
A.G. Lafley stated that every business at P&G is working to reach more consumers by widening the price range of its products, reported The Wall Street Journal (May 29).
SAFEWAYS PRIVATE LABEL BRANDS AGGRESSIVELY EXPANDING
GLOBALLY TO OTHER CHAINS
Two of Safeways private label brands, O Organics and Eating Right, boosted their presence
internationally as well as domestically. O Organics, featuring over 300 products in 30-plus

debut at ShopRite and Exito supermarket chains in South Africa and Columbia, respectively.
Currently, the lines are sold in seven countries: Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico,

WALMART: A LESSON IN CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Walmarts current and past successes rely on its ever-present expansion efforts and focus
on delivering low prices, such as its Everyday Low Price promotion. However, the companys success stems from a finer distinction than just low prices, according to Information
Resources Inc.s Times & Trends Report: Walmart Stores, Helping Consumers Navigate a
Transforming Economy. Walmart doubled its private label strategy, with its Great Value
brand encompassing over 100 categories. The brand, along with the companys other private label brands, account for 25% of dollar sales. The company learned how to understand
shopper attitudes and behaviors and remake its value proposition to meet customers evolving needs. Walmarts strategies also force other retailers to meet its standards.

LOBLAW REINVENTS NO NAME, PRESIDENTS CHOICE BRANDS

Nine years ago, Loblaw successfully launched its private label Presidents Choice rising crust
pizza, only to be overtaken when McCains released its own version of the product. In an effort to gain market share with its private label products, Loblaw switched the rising crust
pizza to its lower-price No Name private label and lowered the price by a dollar, according
to The Globe and Mail (Mar. 20). The No Name pizza was then given prominent display
space in stores and sales began to rebound. We werent differentiating our product, in the
eyes of the consumer, stated Paul Uys, a senior vice president at Loblaw Cos. Ltd. Slowly
but surely Kraft and McCain came in and took the business away from us. The consumer
didnt see that Presidents Choice was a very different product.
Rising crust pizza is but one of the private label products that Loblaw is attempting to
repackage and differentiate in a bid to draw bargain hunting consumers during the current
economic downturn. To lure customers, the company wants their offerings to stand apart
from national brands and will sharpen the distinctions between its No Name and Presidents
Choice products.
In recent years, the grocers sales generated by private-label products have grown about 1%
a year. Prices for private label goods are as much as 50% lower than name brands, while the
products gross margins can be as much as 10% to 12% higher than national brands, according to industry insiders.
Loblaw is aiming to generate 30% of its sales from private label products by the end of
2011, compared with about 25% presently. To achieve its targets, the company is working
with former Loblaw executive Dave Nichol, who helped develop the stores No Name and
Presidents Choice brands. In this economy, its probably easier to steal your competitors
customers than at any other time, Mr. Nichols stated. The consumer is willing to switch
supermarkets if you give them a real reason why they should change. Its probably a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity.
To make the Presidents Choice line stand out on store shelves, Loblaw is repackaging the
line in white, so the consumer sees seas of white, according to Mr. Uys. The No Name line
is returning to yellow packaging, so that shelves resemble a sea of yellow.
BEST U.S. RETAIL BRANDS OF 2009
INTERBRANDDESIGNFORUM recently compiled The Best U.S. Retail Brands of 2009, basing
its information and rankings using public marketing and financial data.
WalMart (No. 1): With a brand value of $129.8 billion, Walmart is the largest mass retailer in
North America and is making significant rebranding efforts, including a new logo and
tagline. The company is working to make brand touchpoints clear and relevant, including
store environment, product mix and sustainability. On average, customers are staying 14
minutes longer per trip to Walmart stores. The company is also striving to be entirely supplied by renewable energy and is partnering with sustainability suppliers to facilitate the creation of green jobs.
Target (No. 4): With a brand value of $17.1 billion, Targets iconic bullseye is recognized by
96% of Americans and the company claims a disproportionate share of affluent shoppers
under 45. The brand spends nearly $1 billion a year on advertising, more than its major
competitor Walmart. Target ranks 14th on BusinessWeeks list of 119 Best Places to launch a
career and scores high on the American Consumer Satisfaction Index. The company also
recognizes the importance of its environmental footprint, and four of its Chicago stores
have green roofs.
101
CVS (No. 5): With a brand value of $12.6 billion, CVS is a competitor in both the pharmacy
and supermarket categories. Its acquisition of Longs substantially increases its presence,
and allows for greater control of the Hawaii and Southern California markets. Despite the
economic downturn, CVS maintained consistent same-store sales growth and revenue
growth for the first 26 weeks of 2008. More than 65% of front-end sales use the stores loyalty card. In addition, private label makes up about 15% of front-end sales, a reflection of
both the downturn and the companys brand strategy.
Walgreens (No. 7): With a brand value of $11.1 billion, Walgreens has a greater number of
stores than its competitor CVS. Some 139.1 million Americans live within two miles of one
of its stores. The company merged with Option Care, enabling it to offer in-store nurse practitioners. Walgreens employs an internal brand police to protect and evaluate the quality
and standard of its product offerings so that brand equities will not become diluted. Walgreens excels at offering a variety of formats to meet the needs of each community, such as
smaller footprints in high-density markets. Drive-thru pharmacies, 24-hour druggists and
online services accommodate all customer types and needs.
Sams Club (No. 9): With a brand value of $9.5 billion, Sams Club is second in market share
to Costco in the warehouse clubs category. Its branded value is higher than that of Costcos
due to its niche with the small business market. Membership fees account for the majority
of Sams income. The company has made an effort to increase membership loyalty, for example, by allowing college memberships. It has employed few new merchandise-mix strategies despite the growing demand across retail for private labels. The company must focus
on its target segment and creating a better shopping experience.
Costco (No. 15): With a brand value of $5.7 billion, Costco is the warehouse club market
leader by revenue. The company focuses on a high-income consumer, but the companys
primary attention is on being a low-price provider and investing in the success of its popular
Kirkland private label. The retailer enjoys high consumer satisfaction scores in a Colloquy
survey, whose metrics are a mix of quality, low-price and experience. Membership prices account for approximately 75% of revenue. Costco has 518 stores in 39 states. It has not
changed its store format, but expanded offerings into banking, pharmacy, gas and refreshed its online services.
Whole Foods Market (No. 47): With a brand value of $496 million, the brands success is
born of its skills as a retailer. Decomposable shopping bags, value tours where customers
learn to shop the store on a budget, organic and value private labels and Whole Foods commitment to helping local and global food economies make it a leading innovator in the category. Some $45 million in corporate support is in place for the remodeling and rebranding
of the Wild Oats acquisition. Whole Foods has the highest quality, but the weakest customer
loyalty in the industry, perhaps due to its prices being beyond what many shoppers can afford.
... While slow economic growth and recovery is good for the industry as a whole, the change
could prove detrimental to private labels. Factors involved in the change are an increase in
consumer confidence and more importantly a slow down in the surge of price increases.
PRIVATE LABEL GROWTH SLOWING
Sales of private label products, though still growing, are tapering off due to signs of an economic recovery on the horizon, price increases abating and consumer confidence on the
rise, according to analysts. The private label sector lost a 0.8 unit share point in the food,
drug and mass channels during the four weeks ended Apr. 18, 2009 compared to the same
102
period a year ago, according to The Nielsen Co.,

reported Brandweek (June 6).

over-year basis in most categories, remains relatively steady rather than growing quickly as
they had in the past. Additionally, Heinz CEO Bill Johnson noted in the companys fourthquarter earnings call that private labels growth, while still a major concern, does appear to
be easing somewhat, albeit at higher sustained share levels.
Though consumer confidence is greatly affected by the economywhich is perceived to be

on course for a reboundEdward Jones food analyst Matt Arnold stated, At the moment,
the economic and financial factors that enable consumers to trade up are still off the
table. However, Mr. Arnold added, there is a bit less of a rampant mind-set where the consumers wallets are completely shut. Its gotten a lot better in terms of people trading down
at all costs.
Mr. Arnold, who also analyzes the performance of Costco and Wal-Mart, stated that in actuality, private label sales are still performing well (despite Wal-Marts first-quarter net sales
being down 0.6%). Wal-Mart is, in fact, currently expanding its Great Value private line. Two
to four months ago, there was this concern that private labels threat was going to keep
going on and on, stated Christopher Growe of investment banking firm Stifel Nicolaus. The
fact that private label growth is slowing so quickly is actually a good thing, Mr. Growe
added.
However, food analyst Alexia Howard, who covers Kraft, Campbell Soup Co. and Hersheys
at Sanford C. Bernstein, posed another theory: Private labels uptick has no direct correlation with economic circumstances, though consumers may be more prone to purchase store
brands in times of financial duress. Instead, much of private labels gains stem from sticker
shock to rapid and sudden food price increases. With price growth slowing down, many
economically stressed consumers are now returning to branded goods.

ORGANIC, NATURAL &

SPECIALTY FOODS
... Due to economic concerns the organic, natural and specialty food industries have seen
their share of decreased sales and lowered profits. The sectors normally higher prices alienated many consumers who instead opted for cheaper alternatives. However, those invested
in the products continued to pay a premium for ensured safety, as 2009 bore witness to
several widespread food recalls. Hope remains that the sector will rebound and see a return
to universal popularity in the future.
THE STATE OF THE ORGANICS INDUSTRY
Since the late 1990s, production of organics in the U.S. has more than doubled. That being
said, the consumer market for organic products is growing even faster. Organic products are
firmly established in the American food system and are now found in mainstream retailers
such as Wal-Mart, and even in club and mass settings such as Costco. While organic sales still
account for only about 3% of total U.S. food sales, most Americans now purchase organic products at least occasionally, according to USDAs Emerging Issues in the U.S. Organic Industry
report. Some 69% of U.S consumers purchased organic products in 2008, according to an annual survey conducted by the Hartman Group. [Since 1997], Organic food sales increased from
$3.6 billion to $21.1 billion in 2008. Sales of organic foods increased annually at a rate between 12 and 21% during this 11-year period, according to Nutrition Business Journal (2008).
Market penetration also grew steadily over this time period, with organic products accounting
for more than 3% of total U.S. food sales in 2008. The top two categories, produce and dairy,
accounted for over half of the total organic food sales in 2008, followed by soymilk and other
beverages, packaged foods, breads and grains, snack foods, condiments and meats.
U.S. certified organic crop acreage more than doubled between 1997 and 2005, and organic
production spread to all 50 states and every commodity sector during that time. However, the
pace of expansion is slowing in some sectors. Organic acreage for some crops, including soybeans, declined between 2000 and 2005. Fruits and vegetables still account for the largest
percentage of all organic certified crops.
During the early 1990s, organic farmers main concern was a lack of consumer demand for
their products. While limited demand can still be a problem at times for organics, limited supply became the major issue over the last 10 years. By the late 1990s, organic handlers faced
difficulties procuring large enough quantities of organic product to suit consumer demand,
faced issues with locating organic producers from whom to purchase, and had issues gaining
access to shelf space in supermarkets (Dimitri and Richman, 2000).

More recently, long-term organic handlers reported that the lack of reliable supplies for organic
raw materials is a major factor that constrained business growth, according to the Organic
Trade Association (OTA). In particular, organic dairy producers and soy food producers face
shortages of domestically produced organic feed grains and soybeans. According to USDA,
some 13% of all handlers were unable to meet market demand for at least one of their organic
products during 2004. Further, some 44% of organic handlers found necessary ingredients or
products in short supply in 2004. In an effort to remedy these shortfalls, handlers are attempting to develop relationships with new or less experienced suppliers and are becoming more
flexible on shipment size.
In 2002, the U.S. National Organic Program (NOP) streamlined the certification process for domestic and international trade of organic product, permitting farmers and handlers around
the globe to export organic products to the U.S., provided that they meet NOP standards,
along with regulatory standards and are certified by a public or private organic certification
body with USDA accreditation. In 2007, USDA-accredited groups certified 27,000 producers
and handlers worldwide to the U.S. organic standard, with approximately 16,000 in the U.S.
and 11,000 in over 100 foreign nations. Farmers and handlers certified to NOP standards are
most common in Canada, Italy, Turkey, China and Mexico, which together accounted for half
the total foreign organic farmers/handlers in 2007.
The U.S. does not have updated data on organic trade because organic product codes have
not yet been established within the U.S. A USDA report estimated that the value of organic imports in 2002 was between $1.0-$1.5 billion and the value of U.S. organic exports was between
$125-$250 million. Imports increased as growth in organic demand exceeded domestic supply.
Organic dairy remains the fastest growing organic sector, with organic milk accounting for
over 3% of all milk products sold in the U.S. last year. The primary difference in the production
practices used by organic versus conventional dairies is the feeding system. In 2005, more
than 60% of organic operations reported using pasture-based feeding that provides more than
half of seasonal forage from pasture, compared with 18% of non-organic dairy producers. Further, the growth hormone rbST is not available for use by organic producers, but was used by
17% of conventional operators. Organic operations averaged about 13,600-lbs. of milk per
cow in 2005, versus nearly 19,000-lbs. of milk in conventional operations.
USDA examined costs of production for organic and conventional dairy systems in order to
determine whether organic milk price premiums allow organic systems to compete with conventional systems. Average operating and capital costs for organic dairies, including an estimate of the additional costs incurred during transition, was an estimated $6.38 per cwt of
milk higher than for conventional dairies in 2005. Most organic dairies are small operations,
with returns that compare favorably with those of small conventional operations.
Meanwhile, organic soybean acreage in the U.S. has been at a standstill since the early 2000s,
despite the fast-growing market for organic soymilk and feed grains and large price premiums
for organic soybeans. Still, research suggests that growing organic soybeans can be more
profitable than growing conventional soybeans. According to Lynn Clarkson, president of an
organic grain supply company, grain supplies are tight despite high demand and price premiums. Also, as the number or organic soybean producers increased worldwide, U.S. producers
have faced increased competition for the domestic market, as well as for the Japanese organic
soybean market, which was a major purchaser of U.S. organic soybeans in the late 1990s and
early 2000s.
According to USDA, average soybean operating costs per acre are not significantly different
between conventional and organic producers, but total operating and capital ownership costs

and total economic costs were higher for organic soybean production. Conventional producers
had higher chemical costs, while organic producers substituted field operations for chemical
costs and hired labor costs. Average organic soybean yield is typically lower than conventional,
producing 31 bushels per acre compared to 47 bushels per acre, respectively.
... The recession has put pressure on the organics industry, causing consumers to become
more selective regarding what products they choose to pay a premium for. While consumers
have not abandoned the sector completely, they have become much more selective.
2009 ORGANIC MARKET EXAMINED; CONSUMERS BEING MORE SELECTIVE
U.S. sales of organic products, both food and non-food, reached $24.6 billion by the end of
2008, growing 17.1% over 2007 sales, according to the Organic Trade Associations 2009 Organic Industry Survey. The survey, conducted by Lieberman Research Group, found that organic food sales grew by 15.8% to reach $22.9 billion in 2008. Organic food sales now account
for approximately 3.5% of all food sales in the U.S. Increased use of coupons, the proliferation
of private label brands and value-positioned products offered by major organic brands all
aided in increasing sales, according to the Organic Trade Association.
However, in the fourth quarter of 2008, reports emerged of changing consumer behavior, as
well as indications that a plateau was reached in overall organic sales in several categories,
reported Specialty Food Magazine (March). Consumer use of organics dropped four percentage
points, from 73% in 2006 to 69% in 2008, according to The Hartman Groups The Many Faces
of Organics: 2008 report. Contributors to the slowdown include food recalls, confusion over
the meaning of organics and price-point frustration. Kara Nielsen, trendologist for the Center
For Culinary Development, stated that a better understanding of what organic means and stories about how organic products are produced and why they are important may help the organic market grow.
Consumers are being more selective about what organic products they will purchase in reaction to the economic downturn, reported Food Business News (Apr. 14). Consumers are not
leaving the organic marketplace, but they certainly are making decisions about what matters
to them within organic and what doesnt, stated Laurie Demeritt, president and chief operating officer of The Hartman Group. So we are starting to see some consumers who are having
to make some trade-offs because of the economic situation, but we certainly dont believe
that means people are leaving the category entirely.
Products that seem the most recession-proof are the gateway items such as dairy, produce,
meat and other perimeter-of-the-store foodstuffs. Meat and poultry, fresh fruit, soymilk, milk,
fish and seafood and bread are the top fresh categories consumers are willing to pay 30% or
more for than the conventional version, according to The Hartman Group. Meat and poultry
increased from 54% of organic consumers being willing to pay such a premium in 2006 to
65% in 2008, while milk increased from 49% in 2006 to 62% in 2008.
Emerging organic categories include kid-friendly packaged refrigerated meals, artisan products, chocolate, coffee, designer beverages, ethnic foods, convenience foods (frozen,
canned/jarred) and raw food like nuts.
The Hartman Group found that buying local is increasing in relevance with 52% of respondents
stating it was important, whereas 23% stated it was important for them to buy organically
grown food whenever possible. The group also found that 30% of consumers were concerned
about and prioritized organic foods being available at fine dining restaurants, with only 18%
feeling the same way for full-service restaurants. We dont think there is going to be a ton of
new entrants, stated Ms. Demeritt. We do see people who are already engaged sometimes

buying new products or more products. So we think a lot of the growth is going to come from
folks who are already buying, but they maybe only are buying a few organic items.
The largest organic buying demographic is mid-level consumers, who represent 65% of organic
consumers. While core consumers are becoming more engaged in buying organic and expanding into non-food categories, mid-level consumers are leveling off their organic purchases.
STATE OF THE SPECIALTY FOOD INDUSTRY 2009
While sales are leveling off due to the current global economic downturn, the future looks
bright for the specialty food sector. Although more people are eating at home, consumers are
still willing to pay more for gourmet food items, according to Specialty Foods Magazines State
of the Specialty Food Industry 2009 report. Overall, the total specialty food industry recorded
$60 billion in sales in 2008, and accounts for 15.9% of all retail food sales. At the same time,
the number of new specialty food products introduced in 2008 fell to 2,349 from 3,158 in
2007.
Roughly 80% of the $60 billion spent for specialty food items were bought through retail channels, while the retail dollar sales increased 8.4%. Mainstream retailers (mostly supermarkets)
account for the majority of sales of specialty foods (74% in 2008), followed by specialty food
stores (18%) and natural food stores (7.5%). And while natural food stores were ranked last in
sales, it is the sector that is growing the fastest, with a 33.8% increase over 2006 dollar sales.
Overall, specialty food product introductions are down 3.7% from 2006 levels, totaling 2,349
products in 2008. In the past three years, 2007 had the most new product introductions, with
3,158, up almost 30% from 2006. At the same time, the amount fell more than 25% from
2007 to 2008. The largest change from 2006 to 2008 was for dairy products, up 135%; the
lowest was baby food, which was down 100% in 2008 from six introductions in 2006 and 16
in 2007. Fittingly, the sector ranked in the top spot of dollar sales of specialty foods at retail
was cheese and cheese alternatives, with sales of $3.4 billion. Condiments, frozen and refrigerated entrees, frozen and refrigerated meats and chips, pretzels and individual snacks
rounded out the top five, with cumulative sales of almost $10.5 billion in 2008. Surprisingly,
of the 47 segments that the specialty food markets had been divided into, only two sectors
showed a negative growth from 2006: shelf-stable meat, poultry and seafood and frozen juice
and beverages, -0.5% and 0.1%, respectively. Even so, these percentages are only small declines, while the biggest increase was yogurt and kefir with growth of 55.3%.
Meanwhile, specialty food manufacturers are trying to minimize the negative impact of the
economy. More than 50% of manufacturers are reporting that the economy affected their sales
negatively, while only 15% are reporting an increase of 10% or more. About 47% of manufacturers are producing the same amount of environmentally-friendly products, compared to 51%
in 2007. At the same time, the amount of manufacturers making more environmentallyfriendly products increased 1% from to 27% in 2008. An increasing amount of companies are
importing from Europe while products from Asia and Africa fell. Products from South America
are enjoying an increase, with 16% of importers getting products from that area, compared to
only 8% in 2007. Organic and natural products also now account for almost 50% of imports,
with Fair Trade taking 26% and eco-friendly taking 28% in 2008.
Specialty food stores are becoming more of a one-stop shopping destination, according to
the report, as more stores diversify their offerings. In 2008, more than 80% of specialty food
stores offered specialty grocery, 76% offered non-foods and more than two-thirds offered
cheese. Produce, meat and seafood and bakeries are now featured in more than 40% of stores
and more than half now offer wine and other alcoholic beverages. Of the products that are
113
offered at these stores, 28.7% are characterized as artisanal, followed by locally sources, organic, eco-friendly and Fair Trade, 19.6%, 19.1%, 15.4% and 10.2%, respectively.
... Trends in the organic and specialty food sectors in 2009 revolved around consumers seeking more environmentally-friendly offerings, healthier and more functional foods and locallygrown products.
CONSUMERS SEEKING ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
Slightly more than one-third of consumers claim they are more likely to buy environmentally
responsible productsand another 44% report their environmental shopping habits have not
changed as a result of the recession, revealed the 2009 Cone Consumer Environmental Survey
conducted by Opinion Research Corp. Fewer than one in 10 (8%) claim they are less likely to
buy these products.
Among other findings: 35% of Americans have more interest in the environment currently than
they did one year ago; 35% have higher expectations for companies to make and sell environmentally responsible products and services during the economic downturn; and 70% indicate
that they are paying attention to what companies are doing with regard to the environment
today, even it they cannot buy until the future.
The fact that consumers continue to be interested in the environment and mindful of corporate efforts, even in the midst of a grueling recession, is evidence that this is more than just
a passing trend, stated Jonathan Yohannan, senior vice president of Corporate Responsibility,
Cone. Environmental responsibility is not just an expectation in times of prosperity.
BETTER FOR YOU FOODS TO GROW OVER NEXT DECADE: NPD
Better for you foods are likely to be among the fastest growing food trends over the next
decade, according to The NPD Groups A Look into The Future of Eating report. According to
the company, organic food will grow 41% over the next 10 years, followed by restaurant meals
eaten in-home with 20% growth and light/lite/diet/low calorie labels, which are expected to
grow 18%. As the population ages, levels of concern regarding food and nutrition are expected
to rise, stated Ann Hanson, author of the study and director of product development at NPD.
For this reason, better for you food options are forecasted to grow strongly over the next
10 years.
The NPD report also identified the foods that will be declining over the next decade. Among

WHOLE FOODS MARKET BRINGS FOCUS BACK TO HEALTH, WELLNESS

Whole Foods Market Inc. is emphasizing healthy living and return to its natural-foods origins
in an effort to reverse falling sales. Products sold are focused on health. We sell a bunch of
junk, stated CEO John Mackey. The retailer launched a healthy eating initiative with cooking
demonstrations and recipes in fall 2009. One employee in each store is charged with answering consumers questions about food choices and provides reference information. In addition,
the company mobilized a team of health experts to develop a program to reward employees
who hit targets for weight loss, quitting smoking and improving blood pressure, reported The
Wall Street Journal (Aug. 5). The initiatives should help the company foster loyalty among organic and natural food shoppers, according to Ed Aaron, a RBC-Capital Markets analyst.
To stay competitive, Whole Foods Market, which boasts 282 stores totaling 10.4 million-sq.
ft., lowered many prices and expanded its private label 365 offerings by 5% to 2,300 products.
Mr. Mackey stated the company now considers Costco a competitor and is bundling products
including cereal in some locations to offer volume discounts. The company is also increasingly
interested in Trader Joes, and in many cases matches its 365 prices to those set by the retailer.
We have a policy that our 365 private label has to match Trader Joes prices, unless there is
a significant difference in quality, in which case it probably shouldnt be a 365 product, stated
Mr. Mackey. Also, Whole Foods is pricing items such as salmon individually as opposed to by
the pound. Sales are advertised more prominently as well. For instance, large yellow sale signs
are positioned throughout its flagship Austin, TX-based store.
FUNCTIONAL FOODS MARKET INCREASED 6% IN 2008: REPORT
The U.S. retail market for functional foods and beverages increased 6% in 2008, with sales totaling almost $31 billion, according to Packaged Facts Functional Foods and Beverages in the
U.S., 4th Edition report. Total U.S. retail sales of functional foods and beverages will continue
to grow at a steady pace through 2013, and reach approximately $43 billion. During the fiveyear period from 2003 to 2008, several functionally oriented food and beverage categories
performed well, including yogurt, energy drinks, nutritional snacks and trail mixes, milk substitutes and soymilk, and refrigerated blended fruit drinks.
BUY LOCAL MESSAGE HAS APPEAL, BUT NEEDS MORE SUPPORT
One in six consumers, or 17%, buy local products and services as often as possible, according
to Mintels consumer survey on local shopping. These True Locals are willing to pay a higher
price and they will even buy local if competitive products are better. However, Mintel identified
30% of respondents as Aspirational Locals, or consumers who claim they would purchase
local goods and services, but are unsure where to find them. Further, some 27% of consumers
are No Locals, and do not have a preference as to where their food and services come from.
We found that although the buy local mantra has gotten strong media coverage and government support, most Americans havent yet incorporated it into their lifestyles, stated Krista
Faron, senior analyst at Mintel. Nonetheless, local products offer unique benefits and are
more accessible than ever before, so we think the local movement has relevance with todays
consumer.
115
Mintels survey found that consumers who purchase local goods most often purchase food.
Local fruits and vegetables are by far the most common, with three in 10 adults (31%) claiming
to purchase them at least once a week. Approximately one in four shoppers buy local baked
goods, meats or cheese/dairy products once a week or more.
In 2008, Mintels Global New Products Database tracked several new local food and drink
launches in the U.S. For example, Natural Directions Organic Flour is produced in a small mill
in Utah, while Blue Chair Fruit Company launched Meyer Lemon Marmalade with Mandarins &
Lavender, claiming to use local, sustainable ingredients to support local farms.
Local is becoming a desirable product claim, as people try to save money, support their communities and preserve the environment, stated Ms. Faron. We found that over half of local
shoppers are trying to help their local economy, but they also buy local products for convenience, better taste and the environment. Companies should use these motivations to craft marketing messages that appeal to locally conscious consumers. Mintel views 25 to 34-year-olds
and families with children as the most enthusiastic local shoppers.
... As interest in the gourmet and specialty food market grows, more retailers are looking to
place these products in their stores. Due to their popularity, select retailers are looking to expand despite the harsh economy.
SHOPPING CENTERS SEEK GOURMET AND SPECIALTY FOOD MARKETS
Owners of malls and retail centers are increasingly seeking to open specialty food markets
such as Whole Foods Market, Fairway Market, Stew Leonards and Trader Joes, according to
The Record (Mar. 22). Usually were a big draw for any shopping center, because we get
100,000 customers a week in our food stores, stated Stew Leonard Jr., president and chief
executive officer of the Stew Leonards chain. Were a high-traffic generator. Landlords like
us for that reason.
Interest in fresh-style markets among developers intensified by the success of the Whole
Foods chain, whose New York and New Jersey stores often draw more than 100,000 shoppers
per week. Landlords are coming to us and asking, Are there any food markets that we can
bring in, because we need someone to generate traffic, stated Chuck Lanyard, president of
Paramus, NJ-based real estate brokerage firm The Goldstein Group.
Landlords want to incorporate Whole Foods locations into their shopping centers because
other retailers can latch on to the foot traffic that Whole Foods will bring to a center, stated
Michael Fasano, regional manager of the New Jersey office of Marcus & Millichap, a real estate
investment firm. Stores such as Whole Foods and Fairway are prized tenants for several reasons, according to food retail consultant Bill Bishop. The demographics of a fresh food store
are very attractive, stated Mr. Bishop, chairman of Willard Bishop LLC. The income level skews
upward. The stores also draw customers from a geographic area substantially larger than a
supermarket because people will drive farther to get something special, Mr. Bishop stated.
Shoppers tend not to use the gourmet or specialty-food markets as their primary grocery
stores, but shop there for out-of-the-ordinary items, which actually makes them ideal to combine with other shopping trips, stated Mr. Bishop. People will say, Im going to the lifestyle
shopping center and were going to get a wonderful loaf of bread at the same time as we do
two or three other things, because thats the only place I can get that bread or that pie, or
that piece of salmon.
Stew Leonard Jr. believes the appetite on the part of shoppers and developers has been fueled
by the popularity of the Food Network and television cooking shows. People are much more
into cooking, Mr. Leonard stated. Theyre making an event of eating at night.
116
Despite the sectors positives, retail sales of specialty or gourmet food rose in 2008 until the
fourth quarter, when sales began to fall, according to The National Association For the Specialty Food Trade, Inc., reported St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Mar. 25).
PHILS FRESH FOODS PLANS EXPANSION
Boulder, CO-based Phils Fresh Foods plans to expand into warehouse stores and additional
supermarkets. Owner Phil Anson is optimistic that the pullback in consumer spending will
benefit sales of his burritos, which sell for about $2.50 in varieties including chicken red chile
and green chile breakfast. The company already sells its burritos in some 1,500 natural foods
stores, including about 140 Whole Foods locations. In fact, Whole Foods provided the company
with a $96,000 loan from the companys Local Producer Loan Program, which Phils used to
install more manufacturing and quality control equipment and expand into a 5,000-sq. ft. facility, reported the Rocky Mountain News (Jan. 15).
FOODZIE BREAKS INTO ONLINE FOOD SALES MARKET
Online specialty grocer Foodzie, founded by Rob LaFave, Emily Olson and Nik Bauman, sells
products from small producers in 25 states and relies on attractive photos and an uncluttered
design to compete with other online specialty grocers including Amazon and IGourmet, reported BusinessWeek (Apr. 24). What was lacking in online [food stores] was an experience
that makes you hungry, Mr. Bauman stated. The company is attempting to give artisan food
producers a bridge from local farmers markets to crowded virtual grocery-store shelves, and
profit from increased online food sales, which totaled $4.8 billion in 2008 and were up 11%
in 2009s first quarter, according to market researcher Comscore. [Online food sales] is one
of the biggest consumer categorie now, and even a small sliver of that can be attractive,
stated Sucharita Mulpuru, an analyst at Forrester Research. However, online food sales can be
challenging as perishable goods and shipping costs erode profit margins.
Items on Foodzie generally sell at higher prices than at supermarkets, with pasta sauce made
with extra virgin olive oil selling for $8 and boxes of marshmallow cookies selling for $24.
However, the site does offer more affordable items, such as popcorn at $5 for 1.5-lbs. The
117
Foodzie team considers its products small luxuries, in which consumers can still indulge despite the current economic downturn. People are looking to change the way they eat, stated
sMs. Olson. The company developed software that allow food bloggers and consumers to
share links to the Foodzie website in Facebook.
ORGANIC SWEETNER AND GRAINS MARKET EXPANDING

The global organic food market is expected to reach $70.2 billion by the end of 2010, according to Research and Markets Emerging Organic Food Markets report. The North American
market grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 21% from 2005-2007, according to Milling & Baking News. Europe and North America accounted for 96% of global organic revenues in 2007. The natural and organic food and beverage market in the U.S. grew
nearly 68% between 2005-2008, a CAGR of 19%, according to Packaged Facts.
Growth potential lies in childrens products and grain-based foods. About 67% new organic
baby products were launched in the U.S. in 2007, compared with 61% in 2006 and 35% in
2005, according to Mintels Global New Products Database. For example, HappyBabys organic
product line HappyBellies includes brown rice, oatmeal and multigrain cereals. Organic readyto-eat cereals and tortilla chips surpassed $100 million in U.S. sales, according to The Nielsen
Co. Cereal sales were $130 million for the period ended July 12 in food, drug and mass merchandiser stores, excluding Wal-Mart. The sales were a 6% increase from $123 million in the
previous 52-week period. Tortilla chips sales reached $101.4 million, up 4% from the previous
year. Annual U.S. sales for organic bread is nearing $100 million, according to The Nielsen
Co. Sales reached $95.5 million in the 52 weeks ended July 12, 2008 up more than 18% from
$80.7 million the previous period.
Organic sweeteners were showcased at the All Things Organic exposition in Chicago. Briess
Malt & Ingredients Co. featured its organic BriesSweet tapioca syrup as a 1:1 replacement for
corn syrup. Cargill featured its organic cranberry almond granola bars sweetened with organic
glucose syrup. Ciranda launched organic inulin, a prebiotic fiber from agave. The resistance
from food manufacturers to offer organic products seen earlier in the decade has generally
disappeared. The companies at one time may have thought an organic line would put its general line in a negative light, according to Prescott Bergh, director of marketing for Ciranda.
DAIRY SEGMENT CONTINUES TO SEE GROWTH
Despite the impact of higher prices, yogurt and other cultured product sub-segments continue
to offer growth opportunities. Dollar sales for yogurt grew nearly 10% during the 52 weeks
ended Sept. 7, 2008, according to Information Resources Inc. (IRI), reported Dairy Foods (November 2008).
Among the fastest growing brands of yogurt and yogurt drinks are three functional products
from Dannon. Activia is now the No. 5 brand, including private label. IRIs numbers show that
dollar sales for Activia were up 25% in the 52 weeks ended Sept. 7, while unit sales grew
almost 14%. Activia Light is a much newer product, yet it is the No. 8 brand. Dannons yogurt
shot, DanActive, which claims to help boost the immune system, is now among the top 15
brands. Combined sales of these three Dannon Products were more than $300 million in market channels. Yoplaits Yoplait Light brand also experienced growth during the same period,
with dollar sales up 20% and unit sales up more than 13%.
Cottage cheese is the second largest sub-category in cultured dairy. Dollar sales increased
steadily since July 2007 as prices increased and specials were restricted. By the end of January,
dollar sales jumped 12.2% for the quarter while unit sales fell 7.7%.
118
Sour cream sales totaled more than $750 million in sales, while refrigerated dips accounted
for more than $445 million in sales for the same period, with private label taking about 20%
of the total. Most top brands saw some unit declines, while private label grew slightly. Kraft
experienced double-digit declines by both measures.
Cultured dairy products captured a major share of the functional foods category, as the Mintel
Global New Products Database reports that spoonable yogurt was the second most active category among all U.S. functional foods in 2007. Omega-3 enhanced products became the most
visible and influential cultured dairy products. In 2007, Breyers and Blue Bunny launched
omega-3 yogurts in the U.S., while Yoplait also introduced omega-3 yogurt products, both
spoonable and drinkable.
Beauty foods, though most popular in Asia, are experiencing rapid growth in the U.S. Dannon
is leading the way in this category with its Light & Fit Crave Control yogurt made with fruit cereal, fiber and protein. Stonyfield Farm continues to lead the organic category as the worlds
largest organic yogurt company.
Greek style yogurt is cited in the report as one of the fastest growing categories in the cultured
dairy foods segment. Agrofarma Inc.s Chobani is becoming popular, as it contains more than
twice the amount of protein of traditional American yogurts. Chobani also contains five live
and active cultures, including three described as probiotics. Stonyfield also produces the Greek
style line Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt in partnership with Euphrates, while 3 Greek Gods LLC
markets Greek Yogurts in traditional fig, honey and pomegranate flavors. SKYR, an Icelandic
yogurt that resembles Greek yogurt, Australian-style organic yogurt and Kefir are also becoming popular in this category.
GENERAL MILLS SEES OPPORTUNITIES FOR GLUTEN-FREE PRODUCTS
General Mills Inc.s Betty Crocker brand rolled out gluten-free mixes for cookies, brownies and
cakes, which the company claims are the first gluten-free offerings from a major brand in the
cake-mix segment, reported The Wall Street Journal (July 2). General Mills decided to pursue
gluten-free products in 2008 after its customer-relations department noticed that customer
concerns and inquiries about food allergies were mostly focused on the presence of gluten in
foods, according to General Mills president of baking products Ann Simonds. Gluten, a key
protein in wheat, cannot be digested by sufferers of Celiac disease without causing damage
to their digestive system. Currently, only 1% of the U.S. population is diagnosed with Celiac
disease, but the numbers are rising and dieting fads that reduce gluten intake are becoming
popular. General Mills own research finds that about 12% of U.S. households would like to reduce gluten in their diets, even though doctors state that gluten is nutritionally important for
the diets of those without Celiac disease.
General Mills released a gluten-free version of its Chex cereal July 2007, and the company
claims it received many emails and phone calls expressing gratitude for the product. Recognizing the demand for gluten-free products, General Mills sought to add more items without
the protein to its brands. However, the company found it difficult to create gluten-free mixes
that measured up to customer expectations for its Betty Crocker brand. Most traditional baked
goods contain at least 30% wheat flour, and gluten in wheat flour helps the dough rise and
stay springy and also keeps cookies intact. General Mills initially experimented with yellow
cake, a rice-flour mix, and baked more than 1,000 pans of brownies, cookies and cakes between September and December of 2007 to find a suitable formula. The resulting mixes sell
for about $2 more than traditional, gluten-containing Betty Crocker mixes.
What is novel about General Mills new line is the marketing program behind it. While the
spending budget for the program was not disclosed, the company revealed that it is much
119
less than is traditionally spent on national product launches. It used to be, as a marketer in
the food industry, you needed a $50 million idea to make the business model work, stated
Ms. Simonds, but claimed that currently you can meet an unmet need that will be a $5 million
business.
Partly because of the limited customer base, General Mills is taking a non-traditional approach
to market its gluten-free mixes. In May, Betty Crocker sponsored a booth at a Celiac Disease
Foundation event in California, and plans to participate in more gluten-related events while
advertising in gluten-free lifestyle magazines. Following the lead of large corporations like
Mars Inc. and Procter & Gamble Co., General Mills is also focusing on digital marketing tools
instead of TV or print media advertising. The company paid for product links to appear more
prominently in Google searches for gluten-free products and sent product samples to bloggers
writing about Celiac disease.
General Mills intends to continue with its gluten-free product launches, and plans more items
in their lines in the future. Most gluten-free products are currently supplied by small food companies, and General Mills believes it can capitalize on an underrepresented market. The marketing manager for the bakery products division stated that the company refers to its
gluten-free product base as narrow but deep, as the companys products may be the only
mix that someone with Celiac disease would buy. And as retailers are cutting product lines
from shelves, a spokesperson for Supervalu Inc. stated that gluten-free products are becoming
an area of dietary concern for consumers, and the chain wants to ensure that their stores can
meet those customers needs.
CONSUMERS CONTINUE TO SWEETEN UP TO PREMIUM CHOCOLATE IN 2008

Total chocolate sales grew 5.3% in 2008, while the premium sector increased 15% in 2008,
and 10% through 2012, according to a Packaged Facts report (November 2007). Growth and
demand for premium chocolate is increasing. Sales were $3 billion in 2007, growing 17% from
2006 and 200% since 2003, and accounting for 18% of the total market share. Consumers
often view premium chocolate as a healthy snack, and affordable self-indulgence or a meaningful gift to another. At the same time, total U.S. retail chocolate sales rose only 4.3% from
2006 to $16.5 billion. Both sectors are facing difficult times, with higher ingredient costs
squeezing profits and a recessionary economic environment dampening demand. In 2007
alone, cocoa prices rose 53%, a 28-year high.
So how does one define premium chocolate? Packaged Facts admits that the definition is open
to debate, as it can be defined by price, ingredients and percentage of cocoa, or more intangible terms like technique, craft, innovation, creativity, vision and simplicity. The product
found a niche in the global population as more consumers palates become more diverse, and
premium chocolate offers almost unlimited possibilities.
Contrasting the general situation of the chocolate sector, premium chocolate has much room
to grow, as it is becoming more readily available in food supermarkets, drugstores and massmerchandisers (FDM), in addition to convenience stores and vending machines. New chocolate
candy products increased 22% in 2007, and was predicted to trend down to around 11% in
2008. At the same time, per capita consumption of premium chocolate rose from 10% in 2003
to 14% in 2007. On the other hand, a company must be careful not to over-extend itself as
Moonstruck Chocolates did, according to OregonLive.com (Dec. 2). The companys new CEO,
Dan Hossley, closed all nine of Moonstrucks cafes outside Oregon in fall of 2007, which enabled Moonstruck to focus more on providing fresh chocolates to its local customers. The

company also hopes to create a regional identity with locally grown fruits and nuts.
New product claims are becoming increasingly important and noticed by consumers, and the
top 20 package tags accounted for 88% of all claims. Premiumization claims (upscale,
gourmet, natural or organic) accounted for 60% of all claims, and health claims accounted
for 11.8%. Some health-oriented terms include no preservatives, high antioxidants, no transfat or no sugar. While the same five claims consistently ended up in the top 10 positions, the
high antioxidants claim went from last (No. 30) to No. 7 in 2006.
The report identified several trends that are making their way through the premium chocolate
sector, which can be utilized to push the segment as a whole forward.
- Microbatch So-called bean to bar chocolates focus on searching the world for unique
cocoa beans and making small batches with them. This in turn allows for greater control, as
well as greater innovation.
- Dark Milk & Upscale White There is resurgence in making milk chocolate chic. Dark milk
chocolate combines two benefits: milks ability to soften or round out the chocolate flavor
with the health benefits of dark chocolates antioxidants and lower sugar content. The sweetness of white chocolate is being matched with new add-ins, such as Divines White Chocolate
with Strawberries.
121
- Sustainability According to a survey by Information Resources, Inc., half of respondents

agreed that various environmental concerns were important to their purchasing decisions. Recently, several large chocolate companies like Cargill, Nestle and Mars joined various sustainability programs and initiatives to ensure environmental protection. Organic and free trade
chocolates are also seeing growth.
- Premiumitizing the Familiar Using flavors that are recognizable, often dessert-based, can
open up consumer palates to new flavors, such as Russell Stovers New York Cheesecake
Ganache and Doves Tiramisu bars.
- Exotic Flavors Out-of-context pairings are an alternative approach, like Vosges Mos
Bacon Bar, which utilizes applewood-smoked bacon, smoked salt and milk chocolate. Super
fruits are also making their way into premium chocolate bars.
- Exotic Functions Chocolate has long been known to sometimes help ones mood, but
health-wellness chocolate is new to the game. Adding omega fatty acids, lowering sugar
content and bringing in dietary fiber is making chocolate more of a multitasker.
- Ultra Dark Bars Cocoa levels exceeding 70% are becoming more common as more consumers now look for the cocoa content on the outside packaging. Lindt pushes the envelope
with its Lindt Excellence 99% Cocoa Bar.
- Filled Bars This seems to be a largely untapped sector of premium chocolates, and companies are advised to change that. Nielsen claims that only 1.5% of chocolate bars are filled,
but that 62% of consumers consider them their favorite kind of chocolate.

RESTAURANTS & FOODSERVICE
... In 2009 the restaurant and foodservice industry took a severe hit. As prices increased and
more consumers suffered from layoffs, eating out was one of the first things to be cut. The
trend became global, affecting eateries around the world. Restaurants and chains began to
close in large numbers and employees suffered the brunt of the downward trend.
RESTAURANT INDUSTRY OUTLOOK: FAST FOOD SEES GAINS, BUT STILL AT RISK
Restaurants now have a debt-to-equity ratio more than double that of 2006, with cash levels
dropping to a rate of 6.5% annually since 2004, according to a study by AlixPartners LLP. Only
the lower end of the market registered earnings and returns on investments. The study looked
at four main categories: fine dining, casual dining, fast-casual dining and quickservice restaurants.
Rising unemployment, low consumer confidence and weather conditions kept consumers from
frequenting restaurants in 2008, according to The NPD Groups Consumer Reports on Eating
Share Trends. For the quarter ending February 2009, foodservice traffic declined 1.5% from
the same quarter a year ago. For the second consecutive quarter in 2009, restaurant traffic
dipped below 2008 levels, as weekday visits declined. In contrast, weekend visits rose, reversing the trend of previous quarters. The quickservice segment experienced its first decline this
quarter since 2003, with customer counts down 1%, while spending for commercial foodservice
rose by 0.5%.
However, compared to other segments, the quickservice/fast food industry is thriving. Consumer expenditures on fast food rose significantly in the past few years, accounting for about
30% of all restaurant industry sales in 2008. Busy lifestyles, cost advantage and the increasing
demand for convenience food helped fuel popularity, according to RNCOS U.S. Fast Food Market Outlook 2010. The U.S. fast-food industry is expected to grow at a compound annual
growth rate of nearly 5% until 2010. Consumers are spending nearly half their food budget on
restaurants, with the fast food share continuously increasing.
Despite challenges, strong restaurants have acquisition and market-share opportunities, according to AlixPartners LLP. The group states that applying lean principles to all restaurant
operations may stave off some losses. Aggressively leaning-out costs at every level, including
in the supply chain, can definitely help restaurants deal with this current environment, stated
Andy Eversbusch, managing director of the company.
FOODSERVICE GENERALLY WEAK ACROSS THE GLOBE IN 2008
Among the effects of the worldwide economic downturn was fewer visits to foodservice outlets
across the globe, according to The NPD Group. The last half of 2008 was particularly weak for
global foodservice traffic, largely due to a sharp drop in demand in the fourth quarter.
According to NPDs CREST, which tracks commercial foodservice usage in France, Germany,
Japan, Spain, the UK, U.S. and Canada, and now China, restaurant traffic counts declined in
Japan and across Europe. Italy and Spain saw relatively steep traffic declines while the U.S.,
compared to other countries, was relatively resilient and ended the year slightly up from prior
years. Canada is an exception to the lackluster year for the global foodservice market.
While deals and promotions helped drive the small traffic growth at U.S. restaurants in 2008,
such value-oriented practices are largely unfamiliar in other countries, stated Bob OBrien,
senior vice president of global foodservice at NPD. Instead, other countries are much more
aggressive with product variety as an enticement to visit. The average eater check for the U.S.
was $6.34, $5.73 in Canada, $8.42 in Japan, $6.51 in the UK, $8.36 in France, $7.56 in Germany, $6.36 in Italy and $6.98 in Spain.

FOODSERVICE INDUSTRY JOBS HARD HIT IN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN

On the last business day of January 2009, there were 246,000 job openings in the foodservice
and accommodation industries in the U.S., or a rate of 2.2%, according to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. That is down 340,000 openings since the starting point of the downward trend in
September 2007.
Although the hiring rate of 4.8% for the same workers actually rose in January from 3.9% a
month earlier, the rate has also trended downward over the last 15 months. At 522,000 in
January, monthly hires was down 317,000 since the starting point of the downward trend in
October 2007 - a 38% decline.
... In order to have a chance of survival, restaurants were forced to make changes in order to
lure back customers. Many operators decided to step outside the box in order to redefine
brand images. Some added retail food space, in an effort to build traffic during the slower day
part and offer a convenience factor. Adding fresh produce and specialty and in-houseproduced non-alcoholic beverages to menus was another tactic operators used to inflate sales.

a group who can stop or divert a
visit to an intended foodservice operator because they are not partial

reported USA Today (May 26). This
is even more important in tight economic times, when consumers who
eat out take on a one-size-fits-all

Cochon and Herbsaint restaurants added a

storefront called Butcher earlier this year,
where they sell artisanal meats, housemade salami, sausages and fresh steaks,
many of the same ingredients used in their
restaurants. Stephen Stryjewski, chef and
co-owner of Cochon, stated that he and his
partner, Donald Link, decided to open
Butcher in January 2009 in a separate space
next door. It was a natural progression to
[produce specialty meat] and sell it retail,
Mr. Stryjewski stated. Butcher is not only a
retail space, but also has seating for about
35 guests should they chose to eat-in. Most
of the shops dishes retail for less than $10,
and wine and beer are available by the
glass. Mr. Stryjewski claims that Butcher
alone has the potential for reaching $1 million in sales by the end of 2009.
At Greenlawn, NY-based Ruvo Restaurant, co-owner Jimmy DeNicola and his brothers decided
to open a market next door about four years ago when the space became available. Minor renovations were made to connect the restaurant and shop. The retail space offers freshly
butchered meats as well as pastas, desserts, takeout options and basics such as milk, eggs
and butter. The shop also offers the same sauces, raviolis, breads and meats served in the
restaurant. People have found it convenient. Now, with this economy, when people arent
going out as much, they can come here and pick up some chicken and some mashed potatoes,
and its like a home-cooked meal, stated Mr.
Top 20 Limited-Service Chains
DeNicola.
The Scottsdale, AZ-based restaurant Olive & Ivy
has a small marketplace where customers can
pick up the concepts signature flatbreads, pastries or gelato. The retail space was part of the
original design because the concept is located in
a mixed-use retail and residential area of the
Scottsdale waterfront. The retail space makes up
about 1,200-sq. ft. of the 9,000-sq. ft. space, and
both the marketplace and restaurant have separate entrances. At the marketplace, customers
may purchase breakfast or lunch, and gelato and
coffee is served until 10 p.m. The retail space
also incorporates a dine-in space. We believe the
retail side adds a lot of more interesting aspects
to the restaurant, more dayparts and creative
stuff, stated Sam Fox, president and CEO of Fox
Restaurants Concepts, operator of the Olive & Ivy
eatery. However, he adds, people can get a little
confused and they ask: Are you a restaurant? Are
you retail? Are you a market? Are you a morning
component? We have gelato and coffee and re128

KIDS MENUS OUTDATED, HEALTHY OPTIONS SOUGHT

Despite mounting health and obesity concerns, the average kids
menu does not offer enough variety or healthy food, revealed
Mintel Menu Insights, a tracker of restaurant menu trends. Chicken
fingers consistently account for 10% of kids menu items, followed
by grilled cheese sandwiches, macaroni & cheese and burgers, according to Mintel, which analyzed kids menus from 2005 to the
present. Other top kids menu items include hot dogs, pizza and
corn dogs.

kids, and children are open to fruits, veggies and healthier versions

efforts drives more customers to their restaurant. In addition, 46% of operators, including

... In the food industry, the trend of making offerings more healthy has swept the board. In
response, operators fighting for sales and traffic decided to implement stricter nutritional
guidelines. While New York City kicked off the trend of requiring all food establishments to
publically post nutritional content, many eateries decided to take it a step further and succumb
to health organization pressure to lower salt content. Making childrens menus healthier was
a related move, as well as making operations more green. However, some operators halted

NOT ALL RESTAURATEURS GIVING GREEN LIGHT TO GREEN INITIATIVES

The harsh economic climate spurred some restaurateurs to rethink how much they can spend
on environmental initiatives. While more operators claim they would like to boost their ecofriendly efforts, many are postponing green-related investments as they struggle to stay in
business, reported Nations Restaurant News (Feb. 9).
Burgerville, the environmentally minded quick-service chain based in Vancouver, WA, re-evaluated its efforts, but decided not to reduce its eco-friendly business plan, according to Jeff
Harvey, president and chief executive of the 39-unit chain. Our analysts found that the impact
to our guest count and brand would have been far costlier if wed changed, explained Mr.
Harvey.

to QSR Magazines 10 Under 300,
which profiles food chains with under

annual sales (Jan. 5). Another boon to
small business is that many small

CHICKEN CHAINS COMPETING WITH BURGERS, OTHER OUTLETS

The economic downturn has had a mixed
effect on chicken chains. Chick-fil-A,
Raising Canes Chicken Fingers and
Zaxbys experienced double-digit U.S.
sales growth in 2008, reported The Dallas Morning News (July 23). However,
fast-food chicken sales grew at a slower
pace than six other restaurant segments,
according to Technomic.

All the major [fast-food] players have
gotten into chicken, stated Mr.
Goldin. The burger chains especially.
Every new menu item in the last couple
years has been chicken-based. Between early 2006 and early 2009, the
number of chicken items added to
non-chicken chains grew 13%, according to Maria Caranfa, director of Mintel
Menu Insights. By comparison, beef
items grew 5%.

Mr. Goldin also believes that chicken

on the bone tends to be more for dinner, making it more difficult to attract consumers for breakfast and lunch. One of the biggest
drawbacks, however, is perception.

Recently, Mr. Shaich was able to improve the freshness of Paneras lettuce by cutting time from field to

them fresh throughout the day instead of in the early morning. Now,

promotions, according to The Wall Street Journal (Aug. 18). In fact, while most of the world
seems to be focused on the Americans who are unemployed, Mr. Shaich is focused on the
90% that are still employed. Paneras target customer is 25 to 50 years old, earning $40,000

DRIVE-INS DRIVE THROUGH TO PROFITS

For foodservice establishments, it is all about the experience, and nostalgia is an important
consumer emotion to take advantage of as the economy continues to slow. The market for
drive-ins is slowly expanding nationwide with new prototype stores and classic feel with modern conveniences. While the sector itself draws comfort from the 1950s, these drive-ins are
designed to cater to a modern consumer: one who craves convenience, control or even a moment of peace, according to Nations Restaurant News. Building a drive-in restaurant is oftentimes cheaper than a traditional model, due to the fact that the store itself can be smaller
as most customers stay in their car.
Sonic Corp. is one of the few companies using this type of restaurant, and now has more than
3,500 units nationwide. The company sees drive-ins as a unique concept that offers a point
of differentiation within the quick service segment by putting the customers in control, stated
senior vice president of development Drew Ritger. The way Sonic offers consumers its food
is also a trend that is gaining popularity, where patrons can order anything off the menu anytime. Pricing is also important, as the company rolled out its Happy Hour, half price drinks
and Slushies, as well as a $1 value menu. Some stores still offer the carhop service where the
customer stays in the car and is served, which preserves some of the brands drive-in experience. Meanwhile, competitor A&W Restaurants, owned by Yum! Brands, is testing a new
store prototype with the Three Ds combin[ing] a drive-in with a drive-thru and dine-in
restaurant. According to president Ben Butler, units that offer the drive-in option tend to do
better than those without, mostly because of the offer of convenience. Meanwhile, Raving
Brands newest concept, Uncle Fattys, a new take on the American drive-in opened in Raleigh,
NC this past summer. The restaurant will offer sandwiches, salads, chargrilled burgers, fries
and woodfired pizza, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Nostalgia plays a major part in these types of restaurants, and some take advantage of it,
noted Nations Restaurant News. A&W stores have a history of promoting the brand with
local vintage car clubs, linking the brand with the reminiscence for the 1950s era. For Rubys
Five Points Drive Ins first location, scheduled to open in Anaheim, CA in June, servers will
wear roller skates, and car diners will be able to watch vintage film clips from the glory days
of drive-in restaurants. The experience that these restaurants provide is quite unique, and
plays to a major consumer group baby boomers.
...While 2009 was a dim one for the industry, the year comes to a close on a more positive
note. A slight rise in sales has been recorded. As the economy begins to balance itself out,
consumers are making their way back to restaurants, albeit slowly. While the dining-out boon
of previous years is a long way off, the change is enough to give the industry reason to hope.
SLIGHT UPTICK IN EATING & DRINKING PLACE SALES
With sales totaling $40.1 billion in July, the nations eating and drinking places posted their
largest year-over-year increase since January up 1.9%. Most of that gain, however, appeared
to come from limited service (including fast-food) outlets, which saw July sales rise 2.6%, comparable to gains posted earlier this year, according to Food Institute estimates.
Many foodservice operators, particularly in the casual dining segment, have been aggressively
promoting value meals to increase traffic. Apparently this has been somewhat successful but
has not added much, if anything, to their top line sales.
143
Meanwhile, restaurant industry units in the U.S. are down 1%, or about 4,000 units, from spring
2008, according to The NPD Groups Spring 2009 Recount. Major chains with 500 or more
units grew 1%, while midsized chains with between 100 and 499 units and all other systems,
including independents, declined. Its clear that independent restaurants and smaller chains
have been most impacted by the slower economy, stated Susan Kleutsch, director, product
development-foodservice at NPD. The recession appears to have weeded out restaurants performing poorly prior to the economic downturn. In terms of restaurant unit counts by U.S.
Census regions, the hardest hit was the West North Central Census Region, where units declined by 2% compared to last spring. Unit counts were flat in the East South Central, West
South Central, Mountain and Pacific regions.

VENDING
... As seen in the Food Processing chapter of this report, overall snacking has been on the
rise as consumers seek comfort foods during the tough economic situation, and vending
machines and companies stand to benefit from the increase. While not-so-healthy snacks
are gaining favor, companies should consider the fact that eventually consumers will return
to more healthy snacking, and preparing for that now would be wise. This is also essential
as more cities, as well as USDA, regulate unhealthy foods in vending machines in schools
and businesses. Diversifying between sweet and salty snacks as well as microwaveable
meals is a smart way to have multiple options for customers.
VENDING FACES DIFFICULT TIMES DUE TO ECONOMY, NUTRITION RESTRICTIONS
Predictably, 2008 was a tough year for the vending industry, as well as the food industry as
a whole, and 2009 does not promise any improvement given the continuing increase in account downsizing and decrease in consumer confidence, according to Automatic Merchandisers State of the Vending Industry Report. Total industry revenue for 2008 stood at
$22.05 billion, almost 5% below 2007s $23.21 billion and almost 10% less than the 10-year
high of $24.49 billion in 2000. Rising unemployment as well as the shifting in American
jobs from blue collar to white collar affected the vending industry enough to disrupt a fiveyear growth trend. Some experts claim that the vending industry may have a negative consumer perception, which convenience stores and fast food chains have taken advantage of.
Operators were forced to respond to the economic downturn, which included raising prices.
While it was less difficult to do so in 2008 because consumers came to expect higher prices,
these end-users also were not as accepting of the increases, even when similar products
were priced higher in
other retail channels.

Most vending operator agreed that they faced a price barrier with 20-oz. bottles in 2008
and were unable to match the price points being charged by competing retail outlets. Because of this, vending machines that offered cans saw a gain in share of sales although

2008
Candy, Snacks and Confectionary

As previously mentioned, this category saw the highest price increases out of all vending
product sectors, driven by manufacturer price hikes. And while consumers often see this
candy as an affordable indulgence, snack items were more often replacing candy as price increases went too high for consumers. Also, in recent years, snack manufacturers have introduced more products that fit in candy spirals. Fourteen of the top 15 placement gainers
in 2008 were salty snacks and one was a cookie. Candy sales fell 8.8% in 2008, following a
1.4% drop in 2007 and a 0.1% drop in 2006. Baked goods saw a double-digit volume gain
as more operators stocked them, while the number of candy items stocked in machines fell
6.8 percentage points in 2008.

Snack items offers consumers a

wide range of price points, as
larger sizes could still be offered
for less than $1, while large confections could not. Many operatorsdid not feel confident about
offering confections priced over
$1.00. In addition, many operators were not convinced that a
large consumer demand exists for
large size confections. Following
the same trend, so called nutrition snacks also saw a decline in
2008 as consumers choose
cheaper options.

food machines, possibly attributed to many schools removing them due to nutritional restrictions, as these machines often hold ice cream. The decade-long trend of the declining numbers of
refrigerated machines continued in 2008, while frozen-prepared and shelf-stable machines
gained slightly at the expense of freshly-prepared food. Vend food is also facing more
competition from fast food chains and conveniences stores for meal purchases; c-store
foodservice sales rose 7.7 points.
Milk
Milk sales fell for the first time in several years in 2008, mostly due to the fact that the number of milk machines decreased, from 56,000 in 2007 to 53,000 in 2008, a fall of 5.4%.
Most vended milk is sold in refrigerated food machines as opposed to dedicated milk machines and cold
drink machines.

Ice Cream
Ice cream took the biggest hit of all categories measured in 2008, [posting] a double-digit
sales drop due to the reduction in the number of frozen food machines. The number of
dedicated ice cream machines in 2008 stood at 58,770, a decrease of 6.4% from 2007s
62,770. Meanwhile, the average ice cream product rose five cents in 2008 to $1.20.
VENDING PURCHASING TRENDS ANALYZED
Some 40% of adults purchased items from a vending machine in the past week and 25% purchased from a vending machine in the past 24 hours, according to a study conducted by
Leo J. Shapiro & Associates commissioned by Automatic Merchandiser (Feb. 4). Fewer than
10% of adults have made no vending purchase during the course of a year. About 75% of
vending consumers were brand specific in their choice, with the number rising to 80% for
cold drinks, noted Elliot Maras, editor of Automatic Merchandiser magazine.
In fact, consumers are increasingly turning to vending machines instead of foodservice
restaurants. Six in 10 respondents who acknowledge spending more over the past year on
vending claim they are typically choosing vending instead of other foodservice alternatives.
About 82% of respondents found the vending experience to be equal or superior to an instore purchase. Notably, almost 25% claimed that their vending purchases were fresher than
they would have been in a store, whereas about 60% stated they detected no difference.
Vending operators will find that by building on an established equity, convenience, they
can weather the current recession and improve profitability over the longer term, when the
current recession ends, noted the report.
VENDING INDUSTRY MUST UPGRADE TO IMPROVE SALES
Slumping profits are forcing vending machine operators to focus on reducing costs, but
changes in consumer habits indicate that a cost-based approach will prevent operators from

** Of 57,300 frozen food machines in 2007, 44,121 are included in this number
in these areas. Operators who
are focused on minimizing product costs are not managing their machines according to
consumer preference. Vending operators should be aware that while vending machines
demonstrate an overall importance to work-site related consumer purchases, more must be
done to ensure that they are offering what the consumer is looking to purchase. An Automatic Merchandiser consumer survey shows that 47.7% of consumers purchase one snack
and one beverage at a time from vending machines. Since most consumers make more than
one vending purchase at a time, it would stand to reason that machines offering multiple
purchases in both the food and beverage categories would improve customer satisfaction.
Further, an increase in health awareness has resulted in consumer demand for better for
you products. Some 75.8% of consumers seek better for you products at vending machines, with 45.7% seeking to purchase low calorie or low fat snacks. Keeping this in mind,
vendors should expand their healthy snack offerings in order to peak consumer interest.
Overall, offering variety is key in the vending channel. New technologies offer opportunities
for vending operators to better understand customer needs. Most industry specific software
packages include category management tools that help identify the best selling items in
each product category; however, the average vending operation does not utilize the available software. With data software such as wireless telemetry provides, vendors will be able
to adjust their product offerings according to consumer preference every time the machine
is serviced.
By understanding individual location needs, operators can maximize sales and will then be
151
better equipped to focus on point-of-sales merchandising and offer special product promotions to rival those offered in the convenience store channel. In vending, you cant do two
for $2, explained Brad Bachtelle, president of Bachtelle & Associates. One of the most positive points of the vending channel is that it acts as a sampling vehicle for products. Because
most vending machines offer only single-serve products, consumers can try a new product
with minimal risk. Paul Schlossberg, former director of marketing and national accounts at
Frito Lay Inc., recalls that vending accounted for a large percentage of the pilot purchases
for some of Frito-Lays most successful products. According to Mr. Bachtelle of Bachtelle
and Associates, the best thing about vending is its paid sampling. It is a very effective
means. This paid sampling gives smaller brands the chance to test their products and potentially become nationally recognized by consumers.
Proving that the vending channel is also a medium for testing new technologies, The CocaCola Company launched a test of interactive-touch screen beverage vending machines in
Simon Malls of the Southeast U.S. in early 2009. The new machines incorporate sight,
sound and motion video to take the vending experience from transaction to true interaction, stated Anthony Phillips, global brand manager, The Coca-Cola Company. PepsiCo
began testing in April 2009 a climate-friendly vending machine in Washington, DC. The machine uses less energy, is cooled using carbon dioxide and generates 12% less greenhouse
gas emissions than current vending machines.

Explanations About the Consumer Expenditure Survey and Its Categorical Breakdowns
(based on information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics)
What is the Consumer Expenditure Survey?
The Consumer Expenditure Survey, conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, consists of two components: a diary (or record
keeping survey) completed by participating consumer units for two consecutive 1-week periods; and an interview survey, in which expenditures of consumer units
are obtained in five interviews conducted at 3-month intervals. Results are based on integrated data from both surveys.
Each component of the survey queries an independent sample of consumer units that is representative of the U.S. population. For the Diary Survey, about 7,500
consumer units are sampled each year, for a total of 15,000 diaries per year (7,500 x 2 diaries per 2 week period). The interview sample, selected on a rotating
panel basis, surveys about 7,500 consumer units each quarter. Each consumer unit is interviewed once per quarter, for 5 consecutive quarters. Data are collected
on an ongoing basis in 102 areas of the U.S.
Starting with the 2004 tables, the Consumer Expenditure Survey implemented multiple imputation of income data. In previous years, the survey only published
income data collected from complete income reporters. It should be noted, however, that even complete income reporters do not always provide information on
all their sources of income. Imputation allows income to be estimated when it is not reported. Because of this new system, data from 2004 are not strictly
comparable to data from previous years. For example, in 2003 nearly 16% of consumer units are defined to be incomplete reporters. Income imputation allows
expenditure data for these consumer units to be included in income categories from which they were previously excluded. To the extent that the incomplete
reporters have demographic characteristics or expenditure patterns different from those of the complete income reporters who were previously assigned to these
categories, averages for demographic characteristics and annual expenditures will change. As a result of imputation, average annual estimates for these
expenditures in 2004 may be substantially different from, and not strictly comparable to, estimates for previous years.
Definitions:
Age - The age of the reference person.
Average Number of Persons - The number of persons whose usual place of residence at the time of the interview is in the sample unit.
Complete income reporters - Complete Income Reporters were the source of income data prior to the 2004 tables, at which time all missing income data for all
income variables were imputed and used in income calculations. The distinction between complete and incomplete income reporters was based, in general, on
whether the respondent provided values for major sources of income, such as wages and salaries, self- employment income, and Social Security income. Even
154
The Interview Survey is designed to capture expenditure data that respondents can reasonably recall for a period of 3 months or longer. In general, the
expenditures are relatively large, such as automobiles, major appliances, and expenditures that occur on a regular basis. The Diary Survey is designed to capture
expenditures on small, frequently purchased items that normally are difficult for respondents to recall. Integrated data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Diary
and Interview Surveys provide a complete accounting of consumer expenditures and income that neither survey alone is designed to do.
complete income reporters may not have provided a full accounting of all income from all sources for all members of the consumer unit. Prior to 2004, across-theboard zero income reporting was designated as invalid, and the consumer unit was categorized as an incomplete reporter.
Composition of consumer unit - The classification of interview families according to: (1) relationship of other family members to the reference person; (2) age
of the children of the reference person; and (3) combination of relationship to the reference person and age of the children. Step children and adopted children are
included with the reference persons own children.
Consumer unit - A consumer unit comprises either: (1) all members of a particular household who are related by blood, marriage, adoption, or other legal
arrangements; (2) a person living alone or sharing a household with others or living as a roomer in a private home or lodging house or in permanent living
quarters in a hotel or motel, but who is financially independent; or (3) two or persons living together who use their income to make joint expenditure decisions.
Financial independence is determined by the three major expense categories: housing, food, and other living expenses. To be considered financially independent,
at least two of the three major expense categories have to be provided entirely, or in part, by the respondent.
Expenditures - The transaction costs, including excise and sales taxes, of goods and services acquired during the interview or recordkeeping period. Expenditure
estimates include expenditures for gifts, but exclude purchases or portions of purchases directly assignable to business purposes. Also excluded are periodic
credit or installment payments on goods or services already acquired. The full cost of each purchase is recorded, even though full payment may not have been
made at the date of purchase. The order of the expenditures listed here follows the order of presentation in published Consumer Expenditures tables. The major
expenditure categories are Food, Housing, Apparel and Services, Transportation, Health Care, Entertainment and Other Expenditures.
Education of reference person - The number of years of formal education of the reference person, based on highest grade completed. If enrolled at the time of
the interview, the grade being attended is recorded.
Housing tenure - The familys principal place of residence during the survey. Owner includes families living in their own homes, cooperatives or
condominium apartments, or townhouses. Renter includes families paying rent as well as families living rent free in lieu of wages.
Income - The combined income of all consumer unit members (14 years of age or over) during the 12 months preceding the interview.
Pre-Tax Income - The total money earnings and selected money receipts during the 12 months prior to the interview date.
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) - A large population nucleus, together with adjacent communities which have a high degree of economic and social
integration with that nucleus. These are defined by the Office of Management Budget as a standard for Federal agencies in the preparation and publication of
statistics relating to metropolitan areas.
Occupation - Refers to the occupation in which the reference person received the most earnings during the survey period. The occupational categories follow
those of the Census of Population. Categories shown in the reference table include the following:
Self-employed - Encompasses all occupational categories; the reference person is self-employed in own business, professional practice, or farm
155
Earner - A consumer unit member, 14 years of age or older, who reported having worked at least 1 week during the 12 months prior to the interview date.
Wage and salary earners

Managers and professionals - executives, administrators, and managers; and professional specialties, including architects, engineers, natural and social
scientists, lawyers, teachers, writers, health diagnosis and treatment workers, entertainers and athletes.
Technical, sales, and clerical workers - technicians and related support workers; sales representatives, sales workers, cashiers, and sales related occupations;
and administrative support, including clerical.
Service Workers - private household workers, protective services, food preparers, health services, cleaning and building services, and personal service
occupations.
Precision production, craft and repair workers - mechanics and repairers, construction trades, extractive occupations, and precision production occupations.
Operators, fabricators, and laborers - machine operators and assemblers, transportation workers, handlers and laborers, and farming, forestry, and fishery
workers.
Retired
Retired persons who did not work either full- or part-time during the survey period. All others, including not reporting
A residual including unemployed persons; those working without pay; those not working due to illness, going to school, or caring for others; and those not
reporting their occupational status.
Race - The race of the reference person of the consumer unit. Families are included in three racial groups, Black or African American, Asian, and White and All
Other Races. The Other group comprises such races as Native Americans, Alaskan natives, and Pacific Islanders, and those reporting more than one race.
Reference person - The first member mentioned by the respondent when asked to Start with the name of the person or one of the persons who owns or rents the
home. It is with respect to this person that the relationship of the other consumer unit members is determined.
Regions - Data are presented for four major regions: Northeast, Midwest, South, and West. Consumer units are classified by region according to the address of
the family during the time of their participation in the survey.
Northeast - Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Midwest - Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
South - Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South

Expenditures Up, Food-Away-From Home Down
Food at-home spending increased in 2007, while food away from home decreased.
This change follows a new trend of higher spending occurring in the home, rather than out, a stark contrast from trends of recent years,
with away-from-home capturing a larger share of household spending. Average household expenditures were the highest in eleven
years, as were total food expenditures.
Between 2000 and 2007, the average amount of

money that a household spent on food increased
$975. This adjustment occurred as the average
annual income (before taxes) increased from
$44,649 in 2000 to $63,091 in 2007. During this
same time, overall expenditures increased from
$38,045 in 2000 to $49,638 in 2007.
Households spent the majority of their food
dollars in 2007 on two main categories: meats,
poultry, fish & eggs and other foods, which
include non-alcoholic beverages, fats & oils
(salad dressing, peanut butter, etc.), sugar & other
sweets, and miscellaneous foods (frozen prepared meals, canned and packaged soups, snacks, condiments, etc.). Consumers spent
12.7% of their total at-home food expenditures on the meats, poultry, fish & eggs category, while they spent 9.8% on fruits &
vegetables, 7.5% on cereals & bakery, and 6.3% on dairy products. The remaining 20.2% was spent on the aforementioned other
foods category.
159
Average annual expenditures increased $1,240 in 2007, while food spending increased $22. Food at-home increased $48 while food
away-from-home decreased $26. Food at homes share is more than it was in 2004 and earlier, and food away-from-homes share is
less.
Within the meats, poultry, fish & eggs category, households spent the majority of their food dollars on beef (27.8%), followed by pork
(19.3%), poultry (18.2%) and seafood (15.7%). Average household spending on the category overall was $777, down from $797 in
2006. Average spending on fruits & vegetables, meanwhile, increased slightly to $600, compared to $592 in 2006. Within this
category, consumers spent the most on fresh products, with fresh fruits accounting for 65.3% of spending in this category.
Age & Income:
Among all age groups, the meats, poultry, fish and eggs category was responsible for the most substantial food at-home single-item
expenditure, along with other food at-home purchases, which include beverages. Following that, consumers focused their spending
on fruits and vegetables, cereals and bakery products, and then dairy, in that order. Income had little effect on which types of food are
favored, with increases divided evenly between all food at-home purchases. Organized by age, the only significant change in specific
food category expenditure was observed in fruits and vegetables; as age increases, fruits and vegetables receive a larger portion of
spending, suggesting a greater concern for a healthy and nutritional diet in older consumers.
The percentage of income used toward food at-home expenditures increased nearly uniformly with age, as the 25-34 group garned the
smallest percentage of all age brackets on food at-home purchases, averaging 53.5% of total food expenditures while the 75&up age
bracket spent the most with 64.7%.
Based on financial data, food expenditures increased predictably with pre-tax income as well as with household size. When household
size remained similar, but income increased, the younger age groups typically spent less of their higher income on food, with awayfrom-home expenditures accounting for most of the small gains. As age increased, however, higher income is better reflected in food
spending. While those increases are more evenly divided between at-home and away-from-home expenditures, the data shows that
consumers are willing to indulge in luxury spending when the funds are available, particularly when an income of $70,000 is
exceeded.
160
BLS data again shows a parabolic general expenditure trend, as the 35-44 age group spent the most on food, followed very closely by
the 45-54 bracket. The rise in spending among age groups is typically aligned with increases in household size, but interestingly the
values of money spent per household member increase for every age group, subsiding slightly for the 25-34 and 55-64 brackets. The
data suggests that even as the household sizes decrease, non-seniors continue to make considerable food expenditures even when there
are fewer mouths to feed.
Gender:
Similar to last year, males spent more on food than females, averaging $3,562 compared to females $3,057, however the difference
was significantly smaller than the previous year. A portion of this difference came from food spent away-from-home, where males
spent $1,873 while females only spent $1,207. Also like last year, males spent the majority of their money on food away-from home,
while females spent the majority of their money on food at-home. It should also be noted that, generally speaking, women spent more
money at home in nearly every major food category (other than meats, poultry, fish & eggs) compared to their male counterparts. The
large difference in food spending, however, can be attributed to males away-from-home food spending.
Gender & Age also displayed a bell-shaped curve in terms of average annual food expenditures between males and females. Those
under 25 and those 65 & up spent the least, while an increase was noticeable as one came closer to the center age groups (35 54).
Within categorical analysis, other food at home consistently dominated as the most purchased category among both males and
females. Although there was some minor fluctuation, meats, poultry, fish & eggs and fruits and vegetables were generally second,
followed by cereal and bakery products and, finally, dairy products.
Gender and pre-tax income also showed noticeable trends, with both male and females spending more both at-home and away-fromhome based on their incomes. As one would expect, those making more were generally spending more, with the top spenders as
males away-from-home ($2,859) and females at-home ($2,547). It should be noted, however, that the thriftiest spenders were females
$5,000 - $9,999 category ($1,789), and not those in the >$5,000 income range. In fact, males and females making less than $5,000
were spending more away-from-home than their $10,000-$19,999 away-from-home female counterparts.
Race/Ethnicity:
Asian households had the highest average annual food expenditure totals at $7,139, followed by White households who spent $6,312.
Black or African American households spent the least on food, $4,601.
161
When age was taken into account, males and females followed different trends. For example, males aged 35 44 were the biggest
spenders on food, while females aged 45-54 spent more than other age brackets. Almost all females in all age brackets spent more on
food at home, where the opposite held true for males. On average, females spent approximately $155 more on food at-home, while
males spent well over $600 more on food away-from-home.
When average annual expenditures are considered, however, Black or African American households used 12.8% of their income on
food purchases, the highest total of all races surveyed, and White households followed at 12.3%, while the difference in total food
spending between the two was $1,796.
Regarding food at-home expenditures, all racial or ethnic groups directed the majority of their budgets toward other/miscellaneous
food-at-home expenditures, which includes nonalcoholic beverages and sugars/sweets. As with other foods, Meats, Poultry, Fish, and
Eggs expenditures were the second largest for all races, with Black or African American households spending the most, 29.46% of
their total on the category, followed by Asian households with 26.38%. Within this group, however, Asian households purchased the
most fish and seafood goods, more than any other meat expenditure for every race surveyed. Fruits and Vegetables were the third
largest food expenditure for each group, and Asian households spent a larger portion of their food budget on this category than either
White households or Black or African American households.
Organized by ethnicity, Hispanic or Latino households had the highest portion of their average annual expenditures put towards food,
14.3%, and significantly more on food at-home, at 8.3%. Hispanic or Latino households also spent a larger portion of their total
expenditures on food away-from-home than any other ethnicity.
Further analysis of food at-home spending reveals that Black or African American spent more of their budget on Meats, Poultry, Fish,
and Eggs, than any other ethnic group. Whites and all other races spent the most on both Cereal and Bakery and Dairy. Hispanic or
Latino households spent significantly more on Fruits and Vegetables than any other ethnic group.
Region:
The Western Region spent the most total money on food, $6,811 per average household, in every age category but one in the BLS
2007 Consumer Expenditure Report. The West spent more at-home and away-from-home than any other region, and its total general
expenditures were the highest. Consumers in the South spent the least on food.
162
While all racial and ethnic groups made the majority of their food expenditures on food at-home items, White households spent the
most away-from-home, $2,831 or 43.93% of their total expenditures, while Black or African American households spent the least at
$1,772 or 38.49%. The away-from-home spending figures account for the largest difference among ethnic groups in total food
expenditures.
Comparing food at-home with food away-from-home spending shows that those in the West dined out the most, however most
Americans tended to spend the majority of their money at-home. Focusing on at-home spending, the data shows that most regions
purchase the same goods at similar rates, with center-of-the-plate items being the largest single-item category everywhere. However,
consumers in the Midwest spent the least amount of their income on meats while northeastern food buyers spent the largest portion
with a .3% difference between the two. Significantly, the western groups spent the most on fruits and vegetables, the second largest
single-item expenditure, while midwestern consumers spent the least with a difference of 0.19%.
163
When organized by age, average food expenditures tend to follow the mean averages of each regions households with a few notable
exceptions. All age groups show an increase in spending until middle age, then a decrease as consumers enter their senior years. All
regions but the Northeast reach their spending apex in the 35-44 age bracket, while everywhere the 75 and up age group demonstrate
the fewest expenditures. In the younger age groups, from the Under 25 bracket to the 35-44 bracket, the Northeast region steadily
reduces the difference between the West in overall spending until finally exceeding its total expenditures in the 45-54 age group,
spending on average $516 more annually. The difference in this category is primarily accounted for in food away-from-home
spending.
Organized by income, the Western region again dominates every total food expenditure category. Increases in total food expenditures
rise almost universally along with income, with equal difference among food away-from-home and at home spending. Food at-home
expenditures do not reflect higher incomes to any significant degree until the highest income brackets are reached. Primarily, the data
indicates that expenditure trends remain fairly uniform region-by-region, and each region exhibits the same spending practices and
movements influenced by age and income.
Looking at the major metropolitan areas of each region, cities in the West predictably show the highest average annual food
expenditures and highest total expenditures, while the South has the highest pre-tax income. San Francisco leads every other city in
total expenditures, food expenditures and food away-from-home expenditures. Washington D.C. was second in total food
expenditures, and was followed by Chicago. Food at-home and away-from-home spending was held again by San Francisco, followed
by Los Angeles. San Diego spent least on food at-home expenditures and on food in general, while Miami spent the least on food
away-from-home.
Comparing food at-home purchases with food away-from-home purchases reveals a consistency in spending among the metropolitan
areas of a region.Most cities exhibited about a 52-55%/45-48% split between food at-home and away-from-home, although there are
notable exceptions. Baltimore, Miami, Dallas-Ft. Worth and Houston were the only metropolitan areas to spend the majority of their
total food expenditures on away-from-home purchases. The ratio of food at-home to food away-from-home spending in metropolitan
areas reflected larger regional trends, as pre-tax income typically correlated with more expenditures directed toward away-from-home
food expenditures.
Career:
164
While Self-Employed Workers followed similar food expenditure trends as the average Wage and Salary Earner, they had higher total
annual food expenditures, $7,752, compared with Wage and Salary Earners $7,236. Furthermore, Self-Employed Workers spent more
total than every single career group except Managers and Professionals, who on average spent $752 more per year on food. Although
Self-Employed Workers and Managers and Professionals in the Wage/Salary group spent the most of those surveyed, both had the
highest Average Annual Expenditure totals as well, and claimed the lowest two spots when food spending as a percentage of total
expenditures was calculated.
Operators, Fabricators and Laborers spent 13.40% of their total annual expenditures on food, highest of all groups, and Service
Workers spent the second most at 13.20%.
Examining the food at-home and away-from-home expenditures, Managers and Professionals spent $4,090 on food at-home
purchases, more than any other group, and were followed by Self-Employed Workers, who spent $4,039. Managers and Professionals
also made the most food away-from-home expenditures, 48.80% of their total at $3,898, while Self-Employed Workers followed with
$3,197.
Further analysis of food at-home expenditures reveals that every group spent the largest portion of their budget on
Other/Miscellaneous Foods, then Meats, Poultry Fish and Eggs. Construction Workers and Mechanics spent the highest percentage of
their food expenditures on Meats, 25.01%, followed by Operators, Fabricators and Laborers. Retirees spent a higher portion of their
total expenditures on Cereal and Cereal products than any group surveyed.
Overall, while Self-Employed Workers and Wage and Salary Earners divided their expenditures among the food at-home categories
comparably, greater differences were seen among the different occupations and expenditure totals in the away-from-home category.
Those with the lowest average annual expenditures had the highest portion allotted to food. Lower annual expenditure totals also
showed an increased rate of food at-home purchases. The statistics indicate that consumers continue to spend similar amounts on food
at-home regardless of their income, but those with greater total expenditures tend to indulge more on away-from-home dining.

Compared with previous years, there were 35 more acquisitions completed by food processors
in 2008 than in 2007, with twice as many in the brewers/distillers/wineries category.
Coincidentally, this category may also have contained the merger with the highest profile, as
InBev and Anheuser-Buschs deal received a great deal of news coverage in 2008. Acquisitions
in the restaurants and foodservice category remained consistent with 2007s results, with only
seven more completed at years end, while there were 12 less completed deals in the retailers
category in 2008. Most significantly, investment firms and banks closed 48 mergers and
acquisitions in 2008 after posting the second highest total number the previous year and then
decreasing by nearly 50% in 2008.
The sharp drop in investment firms and banks activity is possibly the result of a recessionary
caution, a global credit crisis and the financial damages that followed and exacerbated the
incipient recession begun a year earlier. It is difficult to estimate how much the severe global
financial troubles affected the merger and acquisition activity within the food industry in 2008,
particularly because the floor did not drop until the fourth quarter of the year, but also because
many deals were already in the works prior to November and to cancel any deals may have
resulted in substantial monetary penalties. Skyrocketing commodity costs also may have
contributed to apprehension on the part of purchasers involved with food industry merger and
acquisition activity. Though it is impossible to clearly draw connections between the economic
turmoil of 2008 and its effects, it is evident that investment firms and banks, which cast a large
shadow on the food industry in 2007, exhibited a diminished presence in 2008.
585
Looking at 2008s mergers and acquisitions by category, food processors posted the most
completed deals with 129. Of the subcategories, four engaged in fewer deals in 2008 than in
the previous year; the Dairy, Multi-Product, Poultry and Snack Food segments posted decreased
numbers.

In the Bakers category, completed acquisitions increased by eight over 2007s totals. The year
saw a few consequential moves, including the sale of a George Weston Ltd. subsidiarys U.S.
fresh bread and baked goods business to Mexico-based Grupo Bimbo, S.A.B. de C.V., one of the
world's largest baking companies. The deal was made for gross and net cash proceeds of
approximately $2.5 billion. The assets being sold are part of Weston Foods, Inc., Dunedin's
principal U.S. operating subsidiary, and include the Arnold, Brownberry, Entenmann's, Freihofer,
Stroehmann and Thomas' brand names. Flowers Foods also made two acquisitions in this
category, purchasing all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the holding company for
Butterkrust Bakery Inc., and the merging of Holsum Bakery Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary of
Flowers Foods in exchange for cash and stock.
The Brewers/Distillers/Wineries category posted almost twice as many completed mergers in
2008 as 2007, and half as many were left open in 2008 as the prior year. The news in 2008 was
dominated by big players in the alcoholic beverage industry, with InBev, Anheuser-Busch,
Diageo and SABMiller and Molson Coors making deals. The most significant deal, in terms of
dollars and in media exposure, was the takeover of Anheuser-Busch by Belgian-based InBev for
586
$52 billion. The combined company was renamed Anheuser-Busch InBev and is the worlds
largest beer company, passing SABMiller.
Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. was also involved in other, lower-profiled deals in 2008,
purchasing the remaining 50% ownership of the Crown Beers India Ltd. joint venture from its
partner, Crown International and agreeing to acquire Eagle Brands. Eagle Brands is AnheuserBuschs sole distributor in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties in Florida, and the deal follows
Anheuser-Buschs refusal to approve of a proposed $62 million sale of Eagle Brands to
competitor Gold Coast Beverage Distributors of Miami because of concerns that Gold Coast
would have a virtual monopoly on beer distribution inthose counties. Finally, SABMiller PLC and
Molson Coors Brewing Company merger was completed on June 30, 2008 with the creation of
the joint venture MillerCoors. The merger combined the flagship brands Miller Lite with Coors
Light, along with a slate of other brands such as Miller High Life and Keystone along with
import and craft beers including Blue Moon, Molson and Pilsner Urquell.
For Confectioners, 2008 was the second year of consecutive growth, with two more deals
completed than 2007s five, though there were still less than the highs posted in 2003 and
2004. All transactions closed as well. The most noteworthy acquisition was made by Mars, Inc.
for the the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company at a price of $23 billion, the second most expensive single
deal listed in 2008. The Wrigley Company became a subsidiary of Mars, Incorporated, but
retained its headquarters in Chicago, IL and will operate as a separate business segment,
alongside the existing Mars business units of Chocolate, Petcare, Food, Drinks and
Symbioscience. Also of note was the closing of Campbell Soup Companys sale to Yildiz Holding
A.S. of the Godiva Chocolatier, Inc. business for $850 million, an acquisition left incomplete at
the end of 2007.
In the Dairy segment, mergers and acquisitions activity was more in line with 2006 and 2005s
totals, totaling seven completed compared with 2007s 11 mergers. Agropur made some noise
in 2008, acquiring Trega Foods and Schroeder Milk, after remaining quiet in the U.S. market
and making only one other deal since 2002. Cal Maine Foods, the largest producer and
distributor of fresh shell eggs in the U.S., also made news by acquiring the majority of the
assets of Zephyr Egg Company and increasing its stock with approximately two million laying
hens in modern, in-line facilities.
The Fruits and Vegetable food producer segment posted similar results to its 2007 totals, with
one more completed acquisition this year. The deals made in the category were mostly made
between fruit and vegetable processors such as the Taylor Fresh Foods and Foxy Foods fresh
produce processing operations and the Driscolls Strawberry Associates shareholdings increase
in Driscolls of Chile. Other notable deals included the J.R. Simplot Company purchase of retail
agricultural business H & R Ag. Inc. and the acquisition of Sunrise Growers-Frozsun Foods by an
affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc.
For Meat processors, 2008 was a blockbuster year compared with 2007. After only two
completed acquisitions in 2007, the category saw 10 completed in 2008. Cargill Value Added
Meats made two acquisitions, acquiring the assets of Willow Brook Foods and its brands as well
as the purchase of Carneco Foods LLC from Lopez Foods, Inc. and Tyson Foods/IBP. Tyson
Foods sold its Jordans, Deutschmacher, Kirschner, Essem, Tasty Bite and Willams of Vermont
brands to privately owned and operated Kayem Foods, Inc. of New England. JBS S.A. was also
involved in two very large deals with very different outcomes, first acquiring Smithfield Beef
Group, Inc. from Smithfield Foods, Inc. The proposed acquisition of National Beef Packing Co.
by JBS S.A. fell apart, however, after the company encountered fierce opposition by the U.S.
Justice Department, which filed a lawsuit in federal court along with 13 states seeking an order
against the deal. The lawsuit claimed the acquisition would create the largest U.S. beef packer
responsible for the slaughter of 35% of U.S. cattle. The JBS S.A. deals follow the 2007
acquisition of Swift & Company by J&F Participacoes S.A. which created the worlds largest beef
processor.
587
Reporting the most mergers and acquisitions in the Food Processor category in 2008, MultiProduct processors registered a total of 30 completed deals, two less than the previous year
and the second consecutive year the number decreased. The company with the largest presence
among multi-product processors involved in M&A activity was The J.M. Smucker Company,
which made three deals in 2008 after making two in 2007. In the Canadian market, the J. M.
Smucker Company entered into an agreement, through a subsidiary, to acquire Europes Best,
Inc., a Montreal-based privately owned frozen fruit and vegetable marketer. The J. M. Smucker
Company also acquired the Knotts Berry Farm food brand from ConAgra Foods, Inc., and most
significantly merged Procter & Gambles Folgers coffee business into The J.M. Smucker
Company, its tenth No.1 brand in North America.
However, it was The Kellogg Company that was most active among multi-product processors,
making four deals over the course of 2008. Expanding its presence in China, The Kellogg
Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Zhenghang Food Company Ltd. (Navigable
Foods). Kellogg also made another international deal with the acquisition of Australia-based
Specialty Cereals PTY Limited. In the U.S., Kellogg acquired Indybake Products LLC and Brownie
Products Co. as well as the trademarks and recipes of Mother's Cake & Cookie Co. after
Archway/Mothers declared bankruptcy.

The Seafood Processor category posted three more acquisitions in 2008 than in 2007, but also
three less than in 2006. All deals in 2008 were among seafood processors. The most significant
deal of 2008 was the sale of Del Monte Corp.s seafood business, which includes Starkist, for
588
approximately $359 million to the Dongwon Group, which produces about 75% of South Koreas
canned tuna. Also noteworthy was Trident Seafoods Corp.s acquisition of Bear & Wolf Seafood
Co. and its processing facility in Cordova, AK. Trident is a vertically integrated harvester,
processor and marketer of seafood from Alaska, the Pacific Northwest and around the world.
While there was one less deal completed in the Snack Food processor category through 2008,
the total was still significantly more than the totals reported in 2004 through 2006. PepsiCo
closed an incomplete deal from 2007 by acquiring Brazilian snack company Comercio de Doces
Lucky Ltda, and further expanded itself internationally by purchasing Penelopa, a Bulgariabased producer and seller of branded nuts and seeds with a plant in Sliven.
Snack Food mergers and acquisitions posted one less deal in 2008 than in 2007, but repeated
the big jump from 2006 to 2007, with over a 100% increase compared with 2006, 2005 and
2004. In this category, one company stood out from the rest with three total acquisitions in the
snack food segment, as PepsiCo made three deals with global scope. PepsiCo also acquired
Spitz International Inc. of Canada. One notable trend in the snack food category was the
acquisition of companies which manufactured healthy snacks such as granola, seeds and nuts.
As more health conscious consumers look to purchase less processed and more natural snacks,
larger food processors are looking at acquisitions to reach that market without making changes
to their operations.
Finally, in the Other Processors category, an increase of 11 mergers and acquisitions was
observed over 2007s totals, and none were left unclosed. The Monsanto Company sold its
Posilac bovine somatotropin brand and related business to Eli Lilly and Company, while
McCormick & Company purchased the assets of Lawry's from Conopco Inc., an indirect
subsidiary of Unilever N.V. Nutracea made two acquisitions in 2008, purchasing Irgovel, the
largest rice bran oil processing facility in South America, and a production facility in Phoenix,
AZ. Also notable was the purchase of Archer Daniels Midland Co.s malting division by
Malteurop, the worlds third largest malting company.
The Restaurants and Foodservice category contained the second most merger and acquisition
activity in 2008, with 69 deals completed and 8 left unclosed, compared with 2007s 62 closed
and 11 incomplete. Major news within this category was the merger of Triarc Companies, Inc.
which owns Arbys Restaurant Group, Inc., with Wendys International, Inc. in an all-stock
transaction creating Wendys/Arbys Group, Inc. Trian Fund Management, L.P. also purchased
49.4 million shares of Wendys/Arbys Group Inc., increasing its stake from 11.1% to 21.6%.
Many of the acquisitions in the restaurant category involved franchisees and the sale of
franchised restaurants, including the total sale of 133 Applebees restaurants by DineEquity,
Inc. to various buyers. NPC International, Inc., the worlds largest Pizza Hut franchisee, also
made two substantial purchases of Pizza Hut restaurants. NPC purchased 99 Pizza Hut
restaurants from Colonial Foods, LLC and affiliates for $35 million and 191 Pizza Hut units from
Pizza Hut, Inc. in a deal that also involved a sale from NPC to Pizza Hut, Inc. of 70 Pizza Hut
units.
Additionally, Bakery caf chain Au Bon Pain, which operates 226 bakery cafes
systemwide, was acquired by LNK Partners. Of the 77 total deals either completed or left open,
20 involved Investment Firms and Banks.
The third most mergers and acquisitions were found in the Retailers category, with 67 closed
mergers and 11 unclosed at the end of the year. Of the 67 closed mergers, 38 were among
Convenience Stores, 19 among Supermarkets, and 10 among Other Retailers. Although there
was a high volume of deals in this category, 2008 still registered a decline in activity compared
with 2007 and 2006.
There were eight less closed acquisitions in 2008 in the Supermarket category than in 2007,
and excluding 2005 the fewest in the past six years. Most of the acquisitions were for stores
themselves, rather than any large-scale acquisitions or total mergers. Albertsons stores were
sold to a variety of buyers, totaling 64 stores in four separate transactions. The largest buyer of
Albertsons was Publix Super Markets, Inc., with the purchase of 49 Albertsons stores Central
589
and North Florida, including 17 in the Tampa Bay Area. Publix planned to re-open all of the
stores under the Greenwise banner, its natural/gourmet foods market. Supervalu Inc. acquired
eight Albertsons stores in Wyoming operated by Albertsons LLC, and will continue to operate
these stores under the Albertsons banner name.
Convenience Stores, which posted total acquisitions of 45, with 38 completed and eight
remaining unclosed, also saw a decrease from 2007. While there were six less completed
acquisitions than the previous year, looking at the six-year numbers reveals that mergers and
acquisition activity in the convenience store category was higher than every other year. The
types of deals made for convenience stores and convenience stores companies varied greatly,
with numerous parties outside of the business investing in stores, purchasing franchisees, or
just increasing the number of stores owned.
Alimentation Couche-Tarde once again made some considerable acquisitions, acquiring through
its Macs Convenience Stores LLC subsidiary 83 stores in the St. Louis, MO area and central
Illinois area from Spirit Energy, L.L.C. Macs Convenience Stores LLC also acquired 15 stores in
central Illinois from Speedway SuperAmerica. Other activity included the attentions of Sun
Capital into the convenience store industry in the Carolinas. An affiliate acquired all the assets
of Lil Cricket Food Stores, Inc. which operates 88 convenience stores in South Carolina. An
affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. also acquired the business of Worsley Operating
Companies and various affiliated entities.
Finally, in the retailer category, Other Retailers posted three more mergers and acquisitions in
2008 than in 2007. Both CVS Caremark Corp. and the Walgreen Company made a big impact on
this years list, with Walgreen Co. purchasing 20 drugstores in Puerto Rico from Farmacias El
Amal, worksite health service providers I-trax, Inc. and Whole Health Management. But it was
the deal that got away from Walgreen Co. that ultimately drew most of the attention in the
category; the failed acquisition of Longs Drug Stores and by Walgreen Co. and the success of
CVS Caremark Corp. in closing the deal. Longs became a wholly owned subsidiary of CVS
Caremark, which also acquired four Snyder Drugs Stores locations in Montana. Wal-Mart also
was involved in a significant international deal in 2008, acquiring 58.2% of Chilean grocer

There was not a big increase in restaurant acquisitions in 2008, as the year witnessed 65
completed deals, with nine left open compared to 57 closed and nine unclosed from 2007.
Many of the acquisitions were between franchisees and restaurant owners/operators, but the
major news for 2008 was the merger of Triarc Companies, Inc. the parent of Arby's Restaurant
Group, Inc. and Wendy's International, Inc. in an all-stock deal worth about $2.3 billion. The
combined company was named Wendy's/Arby's Group, Inc. and is the third largest quick-service
restaurant company in the U.S., with the combined restaurant systems including more than
10,000 resturants in 50 states and 21 countries.
Applebees restaurants were sold by Dinequity Inc. in separate transactions to multiple buyers.
In two agreements, Apple American Group purchased 41 Applebees restaurants in Southern
California and Nevada from IHOP Corp., in two definitive agreements for each state. The
agreements also provide for future franchise restaurant development in these markets, which
could result in the development of as many as 14 new Applebees restaurants by the end of
2012 throughout Southern California and the state of Nevada. In a separate transaction,
DineEquity, Inc., formerly IHOP Corp., completed the sale of another 26 company-operated
Applebees restaurants in Southern California to Apple American Group LLC. Dinequity also
sold 66 company-owned Applebee's restaurants in Texas and New Mexico to multiple buyers.

bought 22 restaurants in Houston. Sunil Dharod purchased 37 Applebee's restaurants in the

Dallas, Fort Worth and Waco areas, and Andy Patel bought seven Applebee's restaurants in
Albuquerque, NM.
Pizza Hut units were also frequently bought and sold among franchisees, with three deals
involving Pizza Restaurants being sold, two of which included NPC International, Inc. as the
buyer. In one transaction, NPC International signed an asset purchase agreement with Colonial
Foods, LLC and affiliates to acquire 99 Pizza Hut units, including nine fee owned properties for
$35.0 million.The units to be acquired generated $81.8 million in net product sales during the
52 weeks ended December 2007. In another transaction with Pizza Hut, Inc., NPC International,
Inc. entered into agreements to acquire 191 Pizza Hut units and sell 70 units. Finally, Sentinel
Capital Partners, a private equity firm, acquired 123 Pizza Hut restaurants in the central Los
Angeles and Inland Empire markets. Sentinel acquired the restaurants in a corporate divestiture
transaction from franchisor Pizza Hut, Inc., a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc., marking Sentinel's
third investment in the quick-service restaurant sector and its second in the Yum! Brands
system.
Bakery caf chain Au Bon Pain, which operates 226 bakery cafes systemwide, including
company owned locations and franchise cafes in the U.S. and internationally, was acquired by
LNK Partners. LNK and its affiliates will invest more than $100 million of equity. Previous owner
Compass Group PLC, will remain an equity and strategic partner.
Another major transaction was cancelled, as Landrys Restaurants, Inc. entered into a definitive
agreement to be acquired by Fertitta Holdings, Inc., a newly formed entity wholly owned by
Landrys Chairman, President, CEO and original founder, Tilman J. Fertitta. The total value of
the transaction is approximately $1.3 billion, which includes approximately $885.0 million of
debt. Landrys operations include Landrys Seafood House, Chart House, Rainforest Caf,
Saltgrass Steak House and the Signature Group as well as businesses including hotels, marinas,
amusements and the Golden Nugget Hotels and Casinos in Las Vegas and Laughlin, NV. An
amended agreement stipulates Fertitta will acquire outstanding shares for $13.50/shr The
restaurant had to cancel its takeover by its chairman, Tilman J. Fertitta, after it was not able to
comply with a Securities and Exchange Commission order to disclose confidential information
from its lead lenders: brokerage house Jefferies and Wells Fargo Foothill. Terms of the takeover
deal kept Landry's Restaurants from disclosing certain confidential information to its
shareholders.

Convenience Store acquisitions again posted high numbers in 2008, with 38 competed and
seven remaining open at the end of the year. Nearly every acquisition was of stores themselves,
or of interests in stores, rather than whole companies acquiring other convenience store
companies wholly. Notably, Alimentation Couche-Tarde continued its voracious appetite for
acquisition, acquiring through its Macs Convenience Stores LLC subsidiary 83 stores in the St.
Louis, MO area and central Illinois area from Spirit Energy, L.L.C. Of the 83 c-stores, 69 operate
under the Convenient Food Mart banner and all are company operated. The stores would be
operated by the Circle K Midwest Division under the Circle K banner. The remaining 14 stores
operate as dealers.
In another transaction, Macs Convenience Stores LLC acquired 15 stores in central Illinois from
Speedway SuperAmerica. Under the terms of the deal, the stores would be converted to the
Marathon fuel brand and would also be operated by the Circle K Midwest Division under the
Circle K banner. Additionally, Irving Oil acquired eight retail locations previously owned by Rice

For Other Retailers, 2008 was a typical year compared to 2007, with three more deals on the
books, and one very noteworthy deal cancelled. The year was the second consecutive year of
growth in acquisitions by number, doubling 2006 and 2005s final totals. The list was
dominated by CVS Caremark and Walgreen Company, who were involved in the aforementioned
noteworthy deal to acquire Longs Drug Stores.
First, the Walgreen Company appeared four times on 2008s list, and in an international deal
acquired 20 drugstores in Puerto Rico from Farmacias El Amal, a family-owned chain of 61
drugstores. El Amal will continue operating its other 41 stores in Puerto Rico. Domestically,
Walgreen Co. pursued workplace health services, acquiring I-trax, which through its subsidiaries
CHD Meridian Healthcare and ProFitness Health Solutions provides worksite health services,
including primary and acute care, wellness, pharmacy and disease management services and
health and fitness programming, for more than 160 employers including BMW, Eastman
Chemical, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, Lowes and Toyota. The Walgreen Co.
also acquired Whole Health Management, which provides primary care, urgent care, wellness
programs, health coaching and occupational health services through 69 worksite health centers
for 27 clients. Whole Health Management also will become part of Walgreens Health and
Wellness division. It provides services for Continental Airlines, Florida Power and Light,

But it was the deal that the Walgreen Co. could not complete that earned it more attention than
any others could: the acquisition of Longs Drugs Stores Corp. for $75 per share in cash. The
Longs board of directors advised shareholders to oppose that offer, preferring instead another
from CVS Caremark Corp. for a smaller amount. Some Longs shareholders criticized the board
of directors for favoring a deal that set a lower value on Longs shares, but in October the
Walgreen Co. eventually dropped its bid, clearing the way for CVS to finalize its original deal.
At the end of October, CVS Caremark Corp. successfully completed its tender offer for shares of
Longs Drug Stores' common stock, paying $71.50 per share and acquiring Longs as a wholly
owned subsidiary. CVS/pharmacy, the retail division of CVS Caremark Corp., also purchased
four of Snyder Drug Stores Inc.s five locations in Montana in 2008.
Also significant was the Wal-Mart Stores Inc. acquisition of Chilean grocer Distribucion y Servicio
D&S SA.. On. Jan. 23, 2009, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. acquired 58.2% of Chilean grocer Distribucion y
Servicio D&S SA (DYS) after completing its tender offer. Calling the move an important step in
implementing Wal-Marts international strategy, Wal-Mart claimed the deal would also further
strengthen Chile as a world-class supplier.
