Review Snack Bars in Sweden / MarketResearch.com:Snack bars remains small in Sweden, with sales expected to reach only SEK16. 5 million in 2003, up 3. 1% on 2002. The products are available through many supermarkets/hypermarkets and convenience stores, but most Swedish consumers have not yet been convinced by their benefits, usually preferring a chocolate countlines product instead. The lack of interest in these products is making it difficult for manufacturers to raise prices in 2003, and these are therefore remaining stable. Until recently, only one snack bars brand, Quaker, from Quaker Oats, was available in Sweden, although this brand was not promoted, availability was low, and sales were close to negligible. In 2001, however, Kellogg and Cerealia entered snack bars with the Kellogg’s and Start brands respectively. They believed that there was a potential for snack bars and breakfast bars in particular, following people’s more busy lifestyles.

Review Sauces, Dressings and Condiments in Spain / MarketResearch.com:Whilst the effect of the introduction of the euro has dissipated, this having led to price rises in 2002, the increasing sophistication of consumer tastes has continued to benefit sales of premium lines. Innovation, in the shape of sauces previously only available in the horeca channel, has also helped to maintain an upward trend in value.

Review Sweet and Savoury Snacks in Germany / MarketResearch.com:Pretzels are an important part of the German snack sector, accounting for about 13% of value sales. In 2002, value sales of pretzels increased by 2% and are expected to perform at similar if not higher levels in 2003. These snacks have a long-standing tradition in Germany and continue to be popular, especially as they contain fewer calories than crisps. Tortillas and corn chips are still fairly new products in Germany, and consequently have a certain novelty appeal. Consumers are also attracted to the concept of dipping sauces or salsa, which are displayed on the snack shelves alongside tortillas and corn chips. In 2002, growth slowed down, as tortillas and corn chips become a more staple part of the snacking sector. Value growth amounted to about 4% in 2002, compared to a CAGR of over 5% over the review period.

Review Confectionery in Greece / MarketResearch.com:Confectionery is experiencing a shift in distribution patterns, particularly from small outlets towards supermarkets. Over the review period as a whole, supermarkets increased their confectionery value share from 12. 7% to 16%. Sales were captured from smaller outlets. Specifically, independent food stores saw their share decline by more than one percentage point, while the others channel - mainly consisting of kiosks - saw its share fall by almost two percentage points to 62. 1%. By nature, confectionery products are purchased on impulse, which is why kiosks are the most popular outlets. However, supermarkets are accounting for an increasing share of sales due to changes in lifestyle patterns, and the introduction of family packs, which encourages purchases to be made on a planned basis. For example, instead of buying a pack of gum every three days from a kiosk, consumers buy a 5-pack in the supermarket that will last for two weeks.

Review Noodles in Thailand / MarketResearch.com:There are no specific major groups of consumers of instant noodles as the products are widely consumed by all ages. Most instant noodles’ brands available in Thailand are domestic brands and there are only a small number of imported brands, mainly from Japan. The price of imported instant noodles is much higher when compared with local brand instant noodles. In addition, Thai consumers tend to prefer noodles as a substitute for rice as it is also a main source of carbohydrates.

Review Snack Bars in Ireland / MarketResearch.com:The snack bars sector performed extremely well over the review period and is expected to continue doing so. Key factors driving growth in this sector are a move towards convenience, health and a shift in people’s eating habits, including more between-meals snacking or the replacement of meals altogether by more frequent smaller amounts of food. People also tend to eat at different places, such as in cars, on train stations or behind their desks. Snack bars are involved in all of these trends.

Review Noodles in Greece / MarketResearch.com:Greek consumers are gradually becoming familiar with oriental cuisine, and this product in particular, through Asian restaurants as well as TV cooking programmes and various magazine recipes. However, noodles are still expected to remain an underdeveloped product over the forecast period, registering a modest volume CAGR of 4. 2%. The same reasons already previously mentioned, which kept retail sales limited up to the present time, are expected to keep the sector’s growth stagnant over the forecast period. Among the main factors for the product’s predicted poor performance over the forecast period will be the perception of noodles as an “exotic” unknown food that is difficult to incorporate into Greek cuisine and nutritional habits, and the preparation of which is unknown to the majority of consumers. In addition, there is a developing recent trend in the Greek market towards traditional food products.

Review Snack Bars in Greece / MarketResearch.com:Snack bars were introduced for first time in Greece in 2000, along with breakfast bars. Granola bars were introduced later, in 2001. No other snack bars exist in 2003. Generally, such products represent a new concept for both Greek manufacturers and consumers. It should also be mentioned that all existing products are imported, mainly by the supermarkets themselves, and sold as private label products. In 2003, volume and value sales remained very low, as consumers remain unfamiliar with the benefits of these products. Snack bars are not advertised in Greece, and consumers typically only try them after visiting specific supermarket chains and finding them in stores.

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.

Review Noodles in Netherlands / MarketResearch.com:As Dutch cooking skills decline and ready meals become increasingly popular, manufacturers are focusing on easy to prepare food. An example of this is a plain noodle dish prepared by using a wok. In the Netherlands plain noodles are referred to as mie and are easy and quick to cook. An industry source stated that “Nowadays consumers want to eat quick and healthy with a minimum of preparation time. Mie can be seen as a modern way of cooking, both in plain form as in stir fry form, which incorporates convenience with taste and health. Such a combination of advantages is emphasised during promotional activities ensuring a growth in sales for the next few years. ” In addition Dutch consumers acquired a taste for foreign dishes.

Review Sweet and Savoury Snacks in Netherlands / MarketResearch.com:Sales of popcorn are likely to experience stable growth in 2003. Popcorn still has a very modest share of savoury snacks but experienced a good deal of growth over the last two years. Further growth can be likely to come forth out of in-home prepared popcorn. For example Hot Pop Microwave Popcorn reports it increased its value sales in 2002 by 15% and expects to increase them still further in 2003. Industry reports state that consumers wanting fresh products that are easy to prepare and are relatively healthy compared to other savoury snacks explains this growth. This leads to popcorn being the highest growing in sweet and savoury snacks, albeit from a small consumer base. After an explosive growth in the review period, where popcorn reported a 23. 4% CAGR current value increase, value sales are likely to grow by 6. 8% in 2003 over the previous year.

In 2003 soup posted growth of 3. 2% in current value terms, driven by stronger sales of newer delivery formats, particularly chilled soup.

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.
