Review Snack Bars in Norway / MarketResearch.com:Snack bar sales remained very small over the review period. The main reason for this is that substitutes are many, such as chocolate bars, fruit or sandwiches. Norwegian food culture already is quite healthy compared to, for instance, the American or the British food culture. This may have contributed to a sense among consumers that snack bars are unnecessary and if consumers wanted a snack they would go for a chocolate bar or fruit.

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 Bakery Products in Portugal / MarketResearch.com:Portuguese consumers are giving more and more importance to the first meal of the day, which increasingly consists of breakfast cereals. Growth in breakfast cereals in 2003 is expected to stand at around 7% in volume terms, compared to current value growth of 9. 4%. Although this represents a slight decrease on 2002, it is clear that breakfast cereals are still one of the most dynamic areas, with growth of nearly 48% in volume terms and 80% in value terms over the whole review period. Breakfast cereals benefited from changing consumer habits, as the Portuguese are opting more and more for different types of cereals at breakfast time. It is a highly competitive area, with new product launches commonplace and innovation being a key factor behind success. The products tend to be divided into groups based on target consumers, either children or adults, focusing on fun and health respectively. Portuguese breakfasts previously consisted of milky espresso coffee and bread products, often consumed at a café close to the workplace. However, the review period saw a growing awareness of the need for a more solid and nutritional meal to start the day and this was increasingly taken before leaving the home.

Review Ready Meals in Spain / MarketResearch.com:The dynamic performance of chilled ready meals has been to the detriment of frozen food. Value sales of frozen ready meals increased by more than 7% in 2002, suffering a slowdown in the growing pace they experienced over the review period as a whole. This slowdown is set to continue throughout 2003, when sales of frozen ready meals are expected to grow by 5% in current value terms. By contrast, the behaviour in volume terms was different. The increasing importance of private label, where retailers continue to compete via lower prices, boosted volume sales. Frozen food is targeted at families in which both parents work: “Saving money and convenience are key factors for these consumers,” stated an interviewee - a fact that helps explain the increasing importance of private label products. During 2002, a number of new products were launched. The key strategy was to offer faster-to-prepare products in order to compete more efficiently with chilled ready meals.

Review Baby Food in Spain / MarketResearch.com:Sales of non-ready-to-eat dried baby food recorded a decline of 2. 9% and 1. 6% in volume and current value terms, respectively, on 2001. Maturity and consumers switching to more convenient prepared food mainly explain this decline. The maturity of the product has also led to fierce competition among players, bringing prices under pressure and making growth difficult. It was only the launch of ready-to-eat dried baby food that added some dynamism in 2002. Ready-to-eat dried baby food was welcomed by consumers who perceive the product as more “natural” as well as being more convenient - desirable qualities even if at a premium price. Despite the fact that volume sales of ready-to-eat dried baby food account for as yet a tiny share of total dried baby food, one serving of ready-to-eat dried food is much more expensive than one of standard dried baby food. Consequently, ready-to-eat dried baby food contributed strongly to value growth, being the only factor responsible for growth in value terms of dried baby food in 2002. Consumers continued principally trading to non-milk-based dried baby food, which needs the addition of either standard or follow-on baby milk, with 95% volume sales in 2002.

As a result, the performance of mature jams and preserves is an anchor for that of overall spreads.

Review Confectionery in Ireland / MarketResearch.com:During 2002 the global economy slowed down, which had some impact on Ireland, but less then expected. GDP growth went down to 3. 9%, from 6% in 2001 and 11. 5% in 2000. Consumer confidence decreased slightly, which had a negative impact on spending patterns. As with other sectors, growth in the confectionery sector slowed down, but still managed to reach a respectable 8. 8% in current value terms.

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.

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 Dairy Products in Thailand / MarketResearch.com:Overall dairy products sales are expected to grow by 4. 8% in current value terms to reach Bt38. 9 billion in 2003. Increasing consumer spending and health awareness with regard to dairy contents as well as continued aggressive marketing campaigns from players and the public sector are significant factors that will boost growth in total sales of dairy products in Thailand. In addition, the government school milk project, including a campaign to encourage people to drink milk on a regular basis, is also expected to support the growth in dairy products sales.

Review Snack Bars in Germany / MarketResearch.com:Niche products, such as energy bars and fruit bars, offer health benefits in addition to a filling snacking portion. Products in energy bars (up 58. 1% and 59. 9% in value and volume terms respectively in 2002) are mostly positioned as snacks that provide protein, minerals and vitamins. The main target audience is sportsmen/women, although young professionals also increasingly appreciate these products due to their associated image of activity, liveliness, health-consciousness and being trendy.

Review Baby Food in Turkey / MarketResearch.com:Sales of baby food are forecast to reach US$47. 3 million in 2003, up 2% in value terms on the previous year, but down almost 3% over the review period as a whole. The baby food sector saw a decline of some 3% in value sales in 2001 on the previous year. This decline was then followed by an even sharper decrease in sales in 2002. Value sales of baby food dropped by more than 12% in 2002. The economic crisis that hit Turkey at the beginning of 2001 was the main reason for these falls. After the economic crisis, many people were made redundant during 2001, others had to agree to 40% salary cuts. The reason for the higher decreases in 2002 was the increasing number of people that had lost their jobs during 2001 and the realisation by consumers that the effects of the economic crisis would last longer than had been expected in the immediate aftermath of the crisis. Another important reason was the political crisis in 2002, which adversely affected economic conditions. Until the beginning of November 2002, the economy was characterised by instability caused by the unstable political conditions.

Review Ready Meals in Singapore / MarketResearch.com:The bulk of ready meals sales in Singapore continue to be accounted for by canned ready meals. These products (e. g. Yeo's Curry Chicken) tend to have lower average unit prices compared to the typical Western chilled or frozen ready meals, more commonly known as TV dinners. With these high end products failing to take off in Singapore, trade sources are of the opinion that ready meals has yet to realise its full potential.
