Robust and transparent market research methodology, conducted in-countryPackaged food industry sees healthy growth

In 2011, the packaged food industry fared better in comparison with the review period average in volume terms in spite of the adverse weather conditions that hit the country during the last part of 2010 and that were thought would have a significant impact on prices in particular during the first half of 2011. However, that did not happen and manufacturers were able to make moderate price increases during the year. The market’s good performance was also supported by an increase in household consumption, wider variety in terms of packaging formats so as to reach a growing number of consumers and innovative products, all of which led to dynamism in terms of volume sales.

Health and indulgence go together

Colombian consumers are increasingly aware of the need to adopt healthier eating habits in spite of their frantic lifestyles, but without sacrificing indulgent flavours, and manufacturers have been responding accordingly. Companies are accelerating the introduction of healthier products without sugar, with a low fat content, free from trans fats and reduced in sodium. Sweet and savoury snacks, biscuits, chilled meats and snack bars were some of the categories which saw new developments in this field.

Domestic manufacturers lead packaged food market

Local companies registered positive performances in 2010, posting stronger growth rates than foreign players. In GBO terms, Grupo Nacional de Chocolates, which is present in almost all categories within the packaged food industry, held the largest share of sales, followed by Alpina Productos Alimenticios SA and Cooperativa Lechera Colanta SA. The long tradition of domestic brands, innovative products and presentations, along with strengthening distribution, are some of the factors behind their success.

Packaged Food in Venezuela

Packaged food sales show recovery signals in 2011

Most packaged food categories registered positive volume increases that favoured a recovery of the industry in 2011. After two years of decreasing disposable income, a slight economic improvement enjoyed in 2011 allowed some categories to register higher volumes. Price increases over the inflation rate for most of the brands also supported positive constant value growth.

Business environment becomes even more challenging

Numerous expropriations, strong import restrictions and continuation of price controls made the business climate extremely adverse for private firms. Discretionary decisions from government officials, mainly President Chávez, increased the risk of conducting business in Venezuela and therefore introduced obstacles for investment, innovation and development. As a result, the number of launches and new entrants was scarce.

Competition is strong with the domestic holding Empresas Polar at top position

Packaged food continues to see positive develop

Packaged food in Uzbekistan continued to develop based on its strong historical background in the country. Most packaged food products are seen as essential products that are of primary importance for daily consumption. Such demand, in addition to the biggest population in the region, generated high sales of packaged food products. All major categories of packaged food are present in Uzbekistan and, over the review period, new ones were introduced successfully. The fact that Uzbek consumers remained open to new and novel product types ensured that newer categories had strong potential to develop.

Affordable prices and increasing product variety drives demand

Based on the existing favourable conditions in the country, production became one of the most profitable activities. The production of packaged food products was no exception. Compared to imports, domestic producers enjoyed savings in terms of labour costs, logistics and, perhaps most importantly, customs duties, which resulted in much lower unit prices for domestic products. Furthermore, in line with the development of domestic production, the range of products available also became wider, which, together with affordable prices, contributed to higher consumer demand.

Imports account for an unchanged share of retail value sales, while domestic products continue advancing

Across many packaged food categories, the average unit price increased in 2011. In many cases, this was driven by imports, as a result of currency fluctuations. However, with further development of domestic production and improvement of quality of products in different sectors of packaged food industry, imports saw a decline in retail volume sales, as they saw an ongoing loss of share to domestic products. As a result, domestic products accounted for a retail volume sales share approximately twice that of imports in 2011.

Packaged food benefits from the development of retailing

Packaged food products continued to be sold mainly through established grocery retailing channels. Each channel retained its own unique characteristics, in terms of location convenience, product variety, pricing, and consumer loyalty. From this perspective, opportunities created as a result of the ongoing development of retail proved beneficial to packaged food. The development of chained retailing resulted in increased consumer loyalty to retail outlets and, hence, to official sales. Meanwhile, payment types recently introduced by retail, including cashless payments, resulted in increased transaction volume.

Packaged Food 2012: Is Commodity Price Deflation on the Cards?

After rising strongly from mid-2010 to mid-2011, food input prices have been steadily falling on international commodities markets. Further declines are expected during 2012 for key inputs including corn, wheat and cocoa, as global economic uncertainty persists. In turn, this price deflation should create significant cost saving opportunities all along the packaged food supply chain. This briefing will elucidate those opportunities and clarify differences between developed and developing markets.
