Sauces & Spreads Market Update 2013
M2 - Tue Sep 03, 9:26AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kz3z2w/sauces_and) has announced the addition of the "Sauces & Spreads Market Update 2013" report to their offering. This Market Update covers the UK's sauces and spreads industry, including table sauces and other condiments, as well as sweet and savoury spreads. The authors estimate that the overall industry has grown by 20% between 2008 and 2012. In the context of this report, products that fall into the sauces category include tomato ketchup; mayonnaise and salad dressings; vinegar; mustard; condiment sauces such as mint sauce; and chutneys, pickles and relishes. Sauces are thought to account for around 60% of the total market, having lost some ground to spreads since 2008 in terms of market share by value. Sweet and savoury spreads make up the rest of the market. The spreads category covers jams, marmalade, honey, chocolate spreads and Marmite, Bovril and other similar products. Major manufacturers of sauces and spreads include HJ Heinz, Kraft Foods, Unilever and Wilkin & Sons. This publication contains updates on current developments at major companies operating within this industry and analyses key trends. These include growing consumer demand for spicier, more exotic variants and the associated decline in volume sales of many traditional products. The market is an interesting one, because although saturated, it contains several products which many consumers consider nothing short of essential, even in times of economic difficulty. The market has demonstrated consistent year-on-year growth. While it should be noted that much of this may be attributable to hikes in commodity prices pushing up retail prices, customer loyalty is guaranteed for many products and will continue to provide a strong base for volume sales. Loyalty to specific brands is perhaps less strong. Some consumers always buy the same brand of their favourite sauce or spread, while others have been tempted away by lower-cost own-brand variants from supermarkets. The rise of supermarket offers, particularly during the current climate of economic instability, has undermined value sales of established brands. The authors expect the sauces and spreads market to grow fairly slowly but steadily over the forecast period. The future of the industry as a whole is secure, as many products within it are firm favourites with consumers.

Bread & Bakery Goods Production in the UK Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld
PRWeb - Mon Sep 02, 11:04PM CDT
The Bread & Bakery Goods Production industry has entered a period of adaptation as one of its major companies bit the bullet and cut its output capacity. Premier Foods reported intense competition and substantially inflated wheat prices as its justification, reflecting the two defining impacts on the entire industry over the five years through 2013-14. Poor weather caused equally poor harvests, driving the global price of wheat up to an almost unsustainable level. At the same time, the bread and baked goods market has become saturated with a proliferation of offerings aimed at every consumption type and consumer, with supermarkets using low price and fresh options to steal market share.
Bread & Bakery Products U.K Market Report 2013: Bread and Bakery Products Industry to Grow Over the Next Five Years to Rise By 16.2%
M2 - Tue Jul 23, 10:23AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6w3kl7/bread_and_bakery) has announced the addition of the "Bread & Bakery Products Market Report 2013" report to their offering. This Market Report examines the bread and bakery products industry in the UK. In 2012, the market grew by 4.8%; however, this is mainly as a result of price inflation, due to poor harvests rather than increased sales. The market is divided into three principle sectors: traditional breads, speciality breads and bakery products. White bread is the most popular bread product in the UK and is classified under the traditional breads category. However, the subsector is facing growing competition from other segments in the market. The bulk of innovation in the subcategory in 2012 has focused on half-and-half loaves as manufacturers seek to offer consumers healthier options that still taste like their favourite bread. The fastest-growing sector in 2012 was bakery products, which grew by 29.5% between 2008 and 2012. Consumers are treating themselves to affordable and convenient breakfast and snack solutions, including crumpets, croissants and doughnuts. The speciality breads sector has also experienced steady growth. Britons are increasingly eating ethnically diverse meals and want to complement them with relevant breads, such as naan bread and foccacia. Craft bakeries that operate at the premium end of the market are also struggling as consumers are choosing to buy products from supermarkets instead due to convenience. In recent times, there has been a rise in in-store bakeries (ISBs) at the expense of both craft bakeries and plant bakeries. Nevertheless, the total number of companies engaged in the production of bread and bakery products has increased in the UK. New companies tend to be smaller enterprises that specialise in niches in the market, such as gluten-free products, which are increasingly in demand. Companies Mentioned - Allied Bakeries Ltd - Craft Bakeries - Fine Lady Bakeries Ltd - Fletchers Bakeries Ltd - Frank Roberts and Sons Ltd - Genius Foods Ltd - In-Store Bakeries - Jackson's Bakery Ltd - Plant Bakeries - Premier Foods PLC - Warburtons Ltd For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6w...and_bakery About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

The U.K Biscuits & Cakes Market Report 2013: Between 2013 and 2017, its Value is Predicted to Rise By 17.7%
M2 - Mon Jul 22, 10:05AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/57rbj9/biscuits_and) has announced the addition of the "Biscuits & Cakes Market Report 2013" report to their offering. This Market Report Plus examines the biscuits and cakes industry in the UK. According to Key Note calculations, the market grew by 4.4% in 2012. Biscuits and cakes are popular in the UK and penetration has been rising as consumers continue to enjoy affordable treats during the economic crisis. The sector for biscuits accounts for the majority of the market and increase its market share over the review period. The sector is further subdivided by types of biscuit. Healthier biscuits account for the largest subcategory within the biscuits sector, and the subsector has experienced strong growth in 2012 due to a surge in the popularity of breakfast biscuits. Although the biscuits and cakes market grew in 2012, this was principally down to price inflation rather than an increase in demand. Cash-strapped Britons are purchasing biscuits on offer and brand loyalty is waning as consumers swap household brands for own-label equivalents. Retailers now offer products of similar quality but better value. Branded cakes have particularly suffered under this phenomenon as own labels now account for roughly 70% of cake value and volume sales. The biscuits and cakes market is saturated with products and falling disposable incomes have failed to stimulate manufacturers to invest in large-scale innovation. With the exception of Mondelez UK Ltd previously known as Kraft Foods UK Ltd which has recently pioneered the concept of breakfast biscuits, companies in the market are focusing on variation instead of launching new products. The biscuits and cakes market is expected to continue growing over the next 5 years. Companies Mentioned - 2 Sisters Food Group Ltd - Burton'S Foods Ltd - Finsbury Food Group Plc - Greencore Group Plc - Mondelez Uk Ltd - Nestle Uk Ltd - Premier Foods Plc - The Jordans & Ryvita Company Ltd - United Biscuits (Uk) Ltd For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/57...scuits_and About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

Diet Foods Market Report 2013
M2 - Fri Jul 19, 10:13AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cfdf98/diet_foods_market) has announced the addition of the "Diet Foods Market Report 2013" report to their offering. This Key Note Market Assessment examines the diet foods industry in the UK. The report divides the market into two principle categories: low-fat and reduced-sugar products; and meal-replacement products. The former sector accounts for the vast majority of the market (98.9%). It is further subdivided according to product category: dairy is the largest subsector in the market (59.9%); followed by bakery products (16.2%); and ready meals (6.7%). The value of the low-fat and reduced-sugar products sector rose by 3% in 2012, although total volume sales declined. The meal-replacement products sector is comprised of foods such as powders, shakes and protein bars. There is a growing perception in the UK that meal-replacement products are quick-fix solutions that are too expensive to be worthwhile. As a result, the sector declined in value by 10% in 2012. Overall, however, the market grew by 2.5% in the same year. Consumers in the UK are concerned about their waistlines; however, a growing percentage is fed up of dieting. Moreover, Government campaigns that promote exercise and a healthy diet, including eating 5-a-day', combined with rising obesity levels and media articles claiming that diet foods are not actually healthier than standard variants, have put into question the effectiveness of diet foods. Consumers are increasingly choosing a naturally healthier diet as part of a balanced lifestyle over diet foods. Britons also enjoy cooking and eating; the economic crisis and the popularity of celebrity chefs and cooking programmes mean that they are cooking more at home out of both necessity and pleasure.

Cooking sauces are popular with consumers in the UK who are seeking a convenient and flexible mealtime solution. They add excitement to the dinner table by providing flavour, but require minimal effort. As a result, the value of the industry has increased year-on-year since 2008.

This report discusses the ethical strategies employed by food and drinks manufacturers to improve the sustainability of their supply chains. As consumers come to expect the produce they buy to be organic and fair-trade, we ask what more manufacturers can do to add value to their goods, which steps will resonate with consumers, and what is at stake if companies fail to act. The global market for organic food and drinks was estimated to be worth E44.5bn in 2010, up 8% on the previous year. The largest markets are the US (E20.2bn), Germany (E6bn), France (E3.4bn), and the UK (E2bn). The use of organic produce is recognized as being crucial in the creation of sustainable agiculture.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pvzx7q/ethnic_foods) has announced the addition of the "Ethnic Foods Market Report 2012" report to their offering. This Key Note Market Report Update examines the ethnic foods market in the UK. In recent years, the industry has benefitted from the economic crisis and grew by 9% in 2011 alone.

This Key Note Market Report Update examines the canned foods industry in the UK; it calculates that the market grew by 2.4% in 2011. This was primarily a result of price inflations as production costs and raw material prices rose. Despite this increase in value, the canned foods industry in the UK is in decline in volume terms. Although the canned foods market has traditionally benefitted from economic downturns, it has failed to profit from the current crisis. This is because the majority of consumers are now accustomed to a certain degree of luxury in their lives, which they are proving reluctant to give up, in spite of strained finances. Although they cannot afford to dine out, many still want to treat themselves and are buying premium grocery products in the chilled and frozen food aisles instead. Within the ambient sector,

This Market Report examines the bread and bakery products industry in the UK. In 2012, the market grew by 4.8%; however, this is mainly as a result of price inflation, due to poor harvests rather than increased sales. The market is divided into three principle sectors: traditional breads, speciality breads and bakery products. White bread is the most popular bread product in the UK and is classified under the traditional breads category. However, the subsector is facing growing competition from other segments in the market. The bulk of innovation in the subcategory in 2012 has focused on half-and-half loaves as manufacturers seek to offer consumers healthier options that still taste like their favourite bread. The fastest-growing sector in 2012 was bakery products, which grew by 29.5% between 2008 and 2012. Consumers are treating themselves to affordable and convenient breakfast and snack solutions, including crumpets, croissants and doughnuts. The speciality breads sector has also experienced steady growth. Britons are increasingly eating ethnically diverse meals and want to complement them with relevant breads, such as naan bread and foccacia. Craft bakeries that operate at the premium end of the market are also struggling as consumers are choosing to buy products from supermarkets instead due to convenience. In recent times, there has been a rise in in-store bakeries (ISBs) at the expense of both craft bakeries and plant bakeries. Nevertheless, the total number of companies engaged in the production of bread and bakery products has increased in the UK. New companies tend to be smaller enterprises that specialise in niches in the market, such as gluten-free products, which are increasingly in demand. Companies Mentioned - Allied Bakeries Ltd - Craft Bakeries - Fine Lady Bakeries Ltd - Fletchers Bakeries Ltd - Frank Roberts and Sons Ltd - Genius Foods Ltd - In-Store Bakeries - Jackson's Bakery Ltd - Plant Bakeries - Premier Foods PLC - Warburtons Ltd For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6w...and_bakery About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

The U.K Biscuits & Cakes Market Report 2013: Between 2013 and 2017, its Value is Predicted to Rise By 17.7%
M2 - Mon Jul 22, 10:05AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/57rbj9/biscuits_and) has announced the addition of the "Biscuits & Cakes Market Report 2013" report to their offering. This Market Report Plus examines the biscuits and cakes industry in the UK. According to Key Note calculations, the market grew by 4.4% in 2012. Biscuits and cakes are popular in the UK and penetration has been rising as consumers continue to enjoy affordable treats during the economic crisis. The sector for biscuits accounts for the majority of the market and increase its market share over the review period. The sector is further subdivided by types of biscuit. Healthier biscuits account for the largest subcategory within the biscuits sector, and the subsector has experienced strong growth in 2012 due to a surge in the popularity of breakfast biscuits. Although the biscuits and cakes market grew in 2012, this was principally down to price inflation rather than an increase in demand. Cash-strapped Britons are purchasing biscuits on offer and brand loyalty is waning as consumers swap household brands for own-label equivalents. Retailers now offer products of similar quality but better value. Branded cakes have particularly suffered under this phenomenon as own labels now account for roughly 70% of cake value and volume sales. The biscuits and cakes market is saturated with products and falling disposable incomes have failed to stimulate manufacturers to invest in large-scale innovation. With the exception of Mondelez UK Ltd previously known as Kraft Foods UK Ltd which has recently pioneered the concept of breakfast biscuits, companies in the market are focusing on variation instead of launching new products. The biscuits and cakes market is expected to continue growing over the next 5 years. Companies Mentioned - 2 Sisters Food Group Ltd - Burton'S Foods Ltd - Finsbury Food Group Plc - Greencore Group Plc - Mondelez Uk Ltd - Nestle Uk Ltd - Premier Foods Plc - The Jordans & Ryvita Company Ltd - United Biscuits (Uk) Ltd For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/57...scuits_and About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

Diet Foods Market Report 2013
M2 - Fri Jul 19, 10:13AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cfdf98/diet_foods_market) has announced the addition of the "Diet Foods Market Report 2013" report to their offering. This Key Note Market Assessment examines the diet foods industry in the UK. The report divides the market into two principle categories: low-fat and reduced-sugar products; and meal-replacement products. The former sector accounts for the vast majority of the market (98.9%). It is further subdivided according to product category: dairy is the largest subsector in the market (59.9%); followed by bakery products (16.2%); and ready meals (6.7%). The value of the low-fat and reduced-sugar products sector rose by 3% in 2012, although total volume sales declined. The meal-replacement products sector is comprised of foods such as powders, shakes and protein bars. There is a growing perception in the UK that meal-replacement products are quick-fix solutions that are too expensive to be worthwhile. As a result, the sector declined in value by 10% in 2012. Overall, however, the market grew by 2.5% in the same year. Consumers in the UK are concerned about their waistlines; however, a growing percentage is fed up of dieting. Moreover, Government campaigns that promote exercise and a healthy diet, including eating 5-a-day', combined with rising obesity levels and media articles claiming that diet foods are not actually healthier than standard variants, have put into question the effectiveness of diet foods. Consumers are increasingly choosing a naturally healthier diet as part of a balanced lifestyle over diet foods. Britons also enjoy cooking and eating; the economic crisis and the popularity of celebrity chefs and cooking programmes mean that they are cooking more at home out of both necessity and pleasure. Companies Mentioned - Alpro UK Ltd - Baxters Food Group Ltd - Cadbury - Dairy Crest Group Plc - Greencore Group Plc - HJ Heinz Company Ltd - Kavli Ltd - M?ller Dairy (UK) Ltd - Nestle UK Ltd - Premier Foods Plc - Quaker Oats - Randr Ice Cream UK Ltd - Streamline Foods Ltd - Tayto (Ni) Ltd - The Yeo Valley Group Ltd- Unilever Plc - Walkers Snack Foods Ltd For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cf...ods_market About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kf4v9f/cooking_sauces) has announced the addition of the "Cooking Sauces & Food Seasonings Market Report 2013" report to their offering. This Key Note Market Update examines the cooking sauces and food seasonings industry in the UK. The industry is comprised of two sectors: cooking sauces and food seasonings. The former can be further divided according to type of sauce and it accounts for the majority of the market. In 2012, the total market grew by 2%.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4ksqc6/strategies_to) has announced the addition of the "Strategies to Drive a Sustainable Supply Chain" report to their offering. This report discusses the ethical strategies employed by food and drinks manufacturers to improve the sustainability of their supply chains. As consumers come to expect the produce they buy to be organic and fair-trade, we ask what more manufacturers can do to add value to their goods, which steps will resonate with consumers, and what is at stake if companies fail to act. The global market for organic food and drinks was estimated to be worth E44.5bn in 2010, up 8% on the previous year. The largest markets are the US (E20.2bn), Germany (E6bn), France (E3.4bn), and the UK (E2bn). The use of organic produce is recognized as being crucial in the creation of sustainable agiculture.

M2 - Fri Jan 04, 3:08AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pvzx7q/ethnic_foods) has announced the addition of the "Ethnic Foods Market Report 2012" report to their offering. This Key Note Market Report Update examines the ethnic foods market in the UK. In recent years, the industry has benefitted from the economic crisis and grew by 9% in 2011 alone.

Ethnic foods are in a prime position to profit from this trend as they offer an extensive variety of meal choices, with manufacturers regularly investing in further developing the market. The report divides the ethnic foods market into two principle categories: ethnic foods; and rice. The ethnic foods sector is further separated according to type of cuisine.

Canned Foods Market Report 2012
M2 - Thu Jan 03, 4:47AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cn5zk6/canned_foods) has announced the addition of the "Canned Foods Market Report 2012" report to their offering. This Key Note Market Report Update examines the canned foods industry in the UK; it calculates that the market grew by 2.4% in 2011. This was primarily a result of price inflations as production costs and raw material prices rose. Despite this increase in value, the canned foods industry in the UK is in decline in volume terms. Although the canned foods market has traditionally benefitted from economic downturns, it has failed to profit from the current crisis. This is because the majority of consumers are now accustomed to a certain degree of luxury in their lives, which they are proving reluctant to give up, in spite of strained finances. Although they cannot afford to dine out, many still want to treat themselves and are buying premium grocery products in the chilled and frozen food aisles instead. Within the ambient sector,
