Review Snack Bars in Spain / MarketResearch.com:

2003 is expected to see a higher number of developments, after the lull apparent in the previous year. The first tangible example of this trend was the launch in March 2003 by Hero of a new line of snack bars incorporating fruit pieces. This might be followed by other companies such as Nestlé and Kellogg, in the shape of lines featuring a wider range of flavours. Such developments will help to maintain positive growth in value in 2003. However, much of the growth is expected to be driven by traditional corn-based snack bars, where the bulk of investment by the industry, in promotional and innovation terms, is expected to be channelled.

Review Meal Replacement Products in Germany / MarketResearch.com:

New pasta dishes introduced by Slim Fast in January 2003 were targeted at satisfying the same cravings for savoury food. Each portion claims to contain the nutritional value of a conventional meal and serves as an alternative to liquid meal replacement products. According to industry sources, these new pasta dishes have sparked some interest and are set to influence value sales in 2003. Resulting from the higher unit prices of soup and pasta dishes, value sales in 2003 are predicted to increase by 0. 5%. However, the long-term success of pasta meal replacement products is far from assured and the success of other ready-to-eat, low-calorie products, such as Weight Watchers, might ultimately be the main stumbling block for meal replacement products.

Review Ready Meals in Turkey / MarketResearch.com:

Home cooking was still an entrenched tradition in Turkey over the review period. The growing number of working women and people living on their own were effective in increasing demand for canned ready meals in the first four years of the review period. However, the growth rates recorded by the subsector were not high even before the economic crisis. After the beginning of the economic crisis people preferred to cook their meals at home, which was much cheaper than purchasing canned ready meals. Canned ready meals immediately became a luxury for people who tried to limit their household expenditure after the economic crisis - or people began to consume much cheaper alternatives in canned ready meals. Ready-made versions of traditional meals like pilaki, yaprak sarmasi, patlican dolma or biber dolma constituted the bulk of the canned ready meals that were available. These are traditional vegetarian dishes.

Review Pasta in Singapore / MarketResearch.com:

Canned pasta has not been very well received historically in Singapore and its retail value is expected to remain under S$2 million in current terms in 2003. Consumers remain indifferent to canned pasta because of the perceived lower quality as compared to dried pasta. Whilst canned food is seen to offer a level of convenience, consumers believe dried pasta to be relatively easy to prepare anyway. Heinz and Campbell's are the only significant brands of canned pasta and the only type of canned pasta they carry is spaghetti, usually in a tomato sauce with meatballs or sausages. Heinz Singapore Pte Ltd commanded a dominant retail value share of 51% in 2002, while Campbell Soup Asia Ltd was at a distant second position with a retail value share of 21%.

Review Baby Food in Australia / MarketResearch.com:

Baby food is expected to record growth of 4% in current value terms in 2003 with a total volume of 20,704 tonnes being consumed. Volume growth is expected to be just 3. 2% in 2003 due to being restricted by Australia's falling birth rate. Australian couples are having fewer babies and women are leaving it until later in life to have them. For the past 25 years, Australia's fertility rate has been below the 2 babies per woman required for a woman to replace herself and her partner (Births, Australia 2000, Australian Bureau of Statistics). Despite government efforts to encourage people to produce more babies, the statistic also shows that nearly half of all mothers who registered a birth were aged 30 years and over, almost double that of the 1980 proportion.

Countlines is expected to see growth of over 2% in current value terms in 2003, despite a slower increase in volume terms of around 3%. Countlines witnessed regular innovations and new brand extensions, aimed at maintaining the interest of children and adults.

Tablets are more traditional and benefited from strong promotional activity from multinationals at the end of the review period, which made them more attractive to consumers in price terms than countlines. To counteract this, multipacks of countlines were promoted heavily in larger retail outlets in order to fulfil increased consumer demand for products that offered snacking solutions in the home.

Review Pasta in Germany / MarketResearch.com:

Chilled/fresh pasta has been the main driver of growth over the review period. Between 1998 and 2003, value sales increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18% compared to the overall CAGR of 5%. Germany has, nevertheless, been slow in adopting chilled varieties compared to other European countries such as the UK or France. The idea of stocking up on certain staple goods such as pasta has characterised the sector in Germany. Recently, the move towards self-indulgence, combined with the convenient, short cooking times of fresh pasta, has promoted consumer interest. In 2002, value growth was 19%. Despite the comparatively high prices of chilled pasta, the subsector performed extremely well, and is expected to continue its positive development over the forecast period. However, pasta is still mainly a product that is bought to stock up on, and dried pasta is predicted to remain by far the largest subsector.

Review Oils and Fats in Singapore / MarketResearch.com:

Spreadable oils and fats are expected to register value sales of S$5 million in 2003, representing a moderate current value growth of 2% over 2002. Popular brands include Praise, Flora and Meadow Lea. Praise remained the leading brand in 2002 with 28% value share. The demand for spreadable oils and fats is driven by increased health concerns. However, health reports are sometimes confusing. Different health reports showed varied conclusions about good and bad cholesterol. Manufacturers are wary of making explicit health claims on their products but rather seek to promote the benefits of added ingredients such as Omega 3 and Omega 6. Industry sources also cited that consumers best accept low-salt, low-fat and low-cholesterol spreadable oils and fats. Functional oils and spreads, which are gaining popularity in other countries, have yet to catch on in Singapore.

Review Ready Meals in Portugal / MarketResearch.com:

The critical buying factors that Portuguese consumers tend to value most are convenience, easy and quick in preparation, individual packaging and a wide variety. However, two barriers are posed to producers. Price works as a barrier to higher levels of consumption. Also, ready meals are not seen as healthy food, thus still tend to be used as a back-up option instead of a first meal choice. Producers taking into consideration these factors focus their marketing communication on three key features: convenience, ease of preparation and premium quality. The age and social groups with higher levels of ready meals consumption in Portugal are working and busy people and young couples without children or with young or adolescent children. Consumers under 40 years old are more likely to consume ready meals as are people living alone. As far as international cuisine trends are concerned, the Portuguese consumer is still very conservative.

Review Oils and Fats in Turkey / MarketResearch.com:

There was a switch towards vegetable and seed oils from margarine, resulting in continual value decline for margarine during the review period. In addition, there is a preference for butter over margarine in rural areas. It is cheaper for rural consumers to make butter themselves, rather than buying margarine. Margarine is not well accepted in rural areas. There butter and some home-made animal fats are preferred. While there was considerable urbanisation in last twenty years, most urban consumers have rural relatives, who provide them with butter and such fats. However, with increasing urbanisation, this situation may change and demand for margarine will grow to match the level of demand for liquid oils and fats. Spreadable oils and fats had nearly 19% value growth over the review period, mainly due to rapid new product developments supported by advertising campaigns.
