Review Oils and Fats in Australia / MarketResearch.com:

Within sales of oils and fats, which are shrinking overall, olive oil is a star performer. In just over 10 years, the consumption of olive oil in Australia has increased approximately four times over making it the current oil of choice. Olive oil retains its premium position among oils on more than just price. In fact it is judged like wine on a number of facets including flavour and texture. This also gives olive oil the perception of being a luxury item rather than an essential cooking ingredient. The buoyant Australian economy in 2002 has lead to increased consumer spending on such luxury items and will this trend will continue to prevail in 2003. Consumers are beginning to trade up to higher quality olive oil including that of extra virgin olive oil which is higher in quality and more premium.

Review Boston school kitchen text-book: Lessons in cooking for the use of classes in public and industrial schools / Roberts brothers:

Mrs. Lincoln's 1914 work aimed neither to be a complete cook-book, nor to provide new recipes for elaborate dishes, but rather to be a study of food and an explanation of the general principles of cookery to give housekeepers knowledge of the nature of food and its proper combinations.

Review Oils and Fats in Spain / MarketResearch.com:

Cooking fats are set to continue the declining trend witnessed over the review period, with volume and value sales falling by 13% and 15%, respectively. However, this does represent an improvement compared to the stronger decline experienced over the 1998-2003 period, when sales fell by over 30%. The lack of industry investment in this old-fashioned product explains the pessimistic outlook and the lack of any prospect of recovery. Spreadable oils and fats is also predicted to witness a decline in volume and constant value terms. Increased competition from functional versions that satisfy growing demand for healthy products among Spaniards will be the main reason underpinning this poor performance. Nevertheless, if fat-free versions enriched with calcium or vitamins reach the market over the forecast period, and are supported by high-profile TV campaigns, there is a possibility that the decline in demand may be reversed, although this remains speculation.

Review Food Retailing - The Netherlands:

During the recent tough times in the Netherlands, food retailers performed ahead of all retail sales, which from 2003 actually fell for three consecutive years. Clearly this was thanks to food being a non-discretionary area of spending. However, the food sector has certainly not had an easy ride either. A price war was instigated by market leader Albert Heijn in late 2003 and has not let up since. Sales volumes and profit margins have come under a great deal of pressure as a result and many smaller businesses have been forced to close. Turning to the future, we predict that after a period of negative retail sales growth, the industry will start to recover and by 2011 Mintel forecasts that all retail sales will have reached almost €86 billion. However, the mature nature of retailing in the Netherlands and the limited scope for food retailers to develop non-food interests will inevitably result in the sector losing out to other retail sectors. But, for now, it looks like the price war may have bottomed out and some recovery in margins could be seen over the coming years.

Review Oils and Fats in Greece / MarketResearch.com:

Spreadable oils and fats experienced the most dynamic growth in 2003 over the previous year. This was mainly due to impressive product development, which occurred in terms of taste as well as packaging. Also another reason for its dynamic growth is the increasing trend for it to be used with bread for breakfast. So, examples of taste varieties introduced during the review period that proved successful included Minerva’s Fast with additional Greek honey or additional yoghurt. Greek consumers were very keen on trying the above tastes, as they love honey and yoghurt products. Spreadable oils and fats also grew due to the busy lifestyles of consumers, who want convenient and fast solutions for their meal. Also, spreadable oils gained share over butter, which is richer in fat and therefore consumers find it spreadable oils and fats a healthier alternative.

Review Meal Replacement Products in Netherlands / MarketResearch.com:

Advertising and in-store promotion were instrumental in boosting sales during 2002 and 2003, helping to raise awareness among Dutch consumers that these products exist and are effective. Unilever was responsible for much of the growth as it had the resources to spend on advertising including television commercials and frequent in-store promotions in major drugstores such as Etos and Kruidvat. Slim Fast increased its share to 60% in 2002, benefiting from increased distribution at supermarkets where slimming drinks received expanded retail space. Slim Fast won the Food Award for 2002 in the slimming products category which led to positive results in terms of supermarket sales. Major retailers were eager to stock more slimming products during this period, attracted by the higher margins and the fact that Dutch consumers do not need much advice to purchase them after trying the product for the first time.

Review Bakery Products in Germany / MarketResearch.com:

Private label sales have become an important factor in bakery products, particularly in biscuits and breakfast cereals. The vast private label product range that mimics branded products, but at a significantly reduced price, has had detrimental effects on sales of branded bakery products. Notable is the fact that private label not only appeals due to its pricing strategy but also due to its reputation of high quality. Furthermore, private label has established itself to such an extent in Germany that it has a high number of loyal consumers. Private label products, such as Aldi's breakfast cereal Knusperkrone, has achieved brand status. Manufacturers of branded products are therefore expected to increase their marketing and advertising efforts to make a distinction from private label during the forecast period in order to appeal to German consumers who are impressed by brands and portraying a lifestyle image.

Review Bottled Water, Fruit Juice and Cordials - Ireland:

When Mintel last reviewed the market in 2004 this sector had performed particularly well due to more consumers choosing these healthier drinks, yet questions arose as to whether the sector was reaching maturity or whether further growth potential remained. What was clear was that penetration rates for both bottled water and fruit juice were very high and had shown little growth from 2002-04 suggesting that there were few new customers to target. Consequently, emphasis in the sector may have moved towards increasing consumption opportunities among existing users.

Review Smokeless Tobacco Market: High Growth Potential:

Moist snuff, also referred to as dip or moist smokeless tobacco (MST), is the most common type of smokeless tobacco and it is growing steadily. The smokeless industry is divided between traditional premium products and newer discount brands which were introduced since the mid 1990s. Sales in the smokeless category primarily depend on macro trends, which include disposable income growth. Strong consumer buying power and steady gas prices are generally supportive of premium growth during the year 2007. Most of the major smokeless producers are trying to convert smokers to smokeless category with products like pouches, publicizing the advantage that they can be consumed even if there smoking bans in place. A number of consumers are also switching to MST since it is considered less harmful and new flavors are regularly introduced. The report focuses on the smokeless tobacco market as a whole - its segments, value, growth rate, trends, drivers etc. The Europe, Norwegian and Swedish market have been covered separately. It also discusses barriers to entry on the smokeless industry and some key regulatory issues. The report profiles some of the key industry players, including their financial information and key business strategies.
