Browse all Packaged Facts Market Research Reports

The U.S. market for ice cream and related frozen desserts neared $25 billion in 2009, with sales growth from previous years slowed somewhat by the recessionary economy. Manufacturers of retail frozen desserts and operators in the frozen dessert foodservice industry (which accounts for better than half of total category sales) adjusted their prices in order (or held the price line and reduced package sizes) to keep consumers screaming for ice cream instead of about how much it cost. Price controls and price-based promotions are likely to stay in effect as the economy slowly rebounds. So, too are cost-saving trends like the consolidation of companies and brands, as in the case of Hood and Brighams, and industry production and administrative facilities, as practiced most notably by Unilever.

But, as the Packaged Facts report on ice cream and other frozen desserts – including ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato, frozen custard, water ices, non-dairy frozen desserts and frozen novelties – notes, keeping prices down will not be enough to expand sales. To do that, manufacturers and foodservice operators alike will be looking to build on the trends that have emerged over the past two years, notably a taste for tart frozen yogurt that features good-for-you probiotic bacteria that improve digestion. The Packaged Facts report suggests the likelihood of probiotics being added to other frozen desserts and includes coverage of other healthy ingredients that may soon be showing up in value-added health-oriented frozen dessert products such as prebiotics (that make probiotics more efficient), Omega-3, and added calcium. Related to the development of these value-added healthy products is the growth in the number of organic frozen desserts and the development of natural sources to replace artificial flavor and color ingredients. The report also discusses the importance to the industry of creative ingredient suppliers such as Danisco.

Another emerging trend certain to continue will be the introduction of frozen desserts with flavors targeted to the growing Hispanic population. Our report covers the potential for products with flavors that appeal to the Asian American consumers and the likelihood of their crossover to the mainstream flavor map. Also covered is the growing interest in European-style gelato as a lower fat alternative to American ice cream and the potential for regional favorites like Italian ices from the Northeast and frozen custard from the Midwest to gain national prominence.

Ice Cream and Frozen Desserts in the U.S.: Markets and Opportunities in Retail and Foodservice, 6th Edition profiles national and international marketers like Unilever, Nestlé/Dreyers, Baskin-Robbins and Dairy Queen; major regionals like Blue Bell and Turkey Hill; emerging powerhouses like Cold Stone Creamery and NexCen; and players catching fire like Red Mango and Rita’s. Particular attention is given to the growing turf battles as franchisers aim to gobble up as many locations in as many markets across the country as possible, and the possible fallout from over-extension. Although focused on the U.S., the report also scans the global market with special attention to markets like China, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East where economic development has spurred a taste for American ice cream even as global marketers acquire and reinvigorate local favorites.

Ice Cream and Frozen Desserts in the U.S.: Markets and Opportunities in Retail and Foodservice, 6th Edition is based on primary and secondary research. Primary research included interviews with industry participants regarding product and packaging trends, marketing programs, distribution methods and technological breakthroughs; and on-site examinations of retail and foodservice venues.

Secondary research entailed data gathering from consumer and industry publications, newspapers, government reports, financial reports, company literature and corporate annual reports. The analysis of consumer demographics was derived from spring 2009 Simmons Market Research Bureau data.

Ice Cream and Frozen Desserts in the U.S.: Markets and Opportunities in Retail and Foodservice, 6th Edition offers predictions about the growth of the frozen dessert market, identifies important emerging players and explores the environment in which industry trends will develop over the next few years. The report includes extensive data, presented in easy-to-read and practical charts, tables and graphs.

If your company is already doing business in the frozen dessert market, or is considering making the leap, you will find this report invaluable, as it provides a comprehensive package of information and insight not offered in any other single source. You will gain a thorough understanding of the current market for frozen desserts, as well as projected markets and trends through 2012.

The Q410 BMI Venezuela Retail Report forecasts that the country’s retail sales will grow by an average of 33.7% a year in local currency terms between 2010 and 2014, from VEF208.46bn (US$97.20bn) to VEF676.80bn (US$315.58bn). Although hyperinflation and the country’s first currency devaluation since 2005 make the outlook less certain, BMI expects an expanding population, rising disposable income and easier access to consumer credit to have positive effects on Venezuela’s retail sales over the long term. Venezuela’s nominal GDP is predicted to be US$371.70bn in 2010, with 2009’s decline of 1.8% expected to worsen to a contraction of 3.8% in 2010 as the country continues to suffer the effects of a prolonged economic slowdown. Average annual GDP growth of just 1.5% is predicted by BMI between 2010 and 2014. With the population increasing from an expected 28.8mn in 2010 to a forecast 30.6mn by 2014, consumer spending per capita is forecast to increase from US$4,843 in 2010 to US$6,874 by 2014. Positive economic indicators include increasing urbanisation, with more than 88% of the population classified by the UN as urban in 2005. By 2015, the urban population is forecast to have exceeded 95%. In 2005, 63.8% of the Venezuelan population was described by the UN as economically active, with 37.8% in the 20-44 age range important to retail sales. By 2015, the proportion in the 20-44 age range is predicted to be 38.5% and 65.5% of the population is expected to be economically active. In terms of retail sub-sectors, over the counter (OTC) pharmaceutical sales are forecast by BMI to grow from US$0.41bn in 2010 to US$0.56bn by 2014, up by more than 37%, while automotive sales are predicted to increase by nearly 73% following a severe slump in 2009, from US$0.38bn in 2010 to US$0.66bn by 2014. Consumer electronic products sales are expected to growth by 26%, from US$3.08bn in 2010 to US$3.89bn by 2014.
Retail sales for our Latin American universe in 2010 are expected to reach US$1,166bn, based on varying national definitions. Total consumer spending for the region, based on BMI’s macroeconomic database, is predicted to be US$2,590bn. Mexico and Brazil together are expected to account for an estimated 74.3% of regional retail sales in 2010, with those two countries plus Venezuela forecast to account for 84.6% of all retail sales in the region by 2014. For Venezuela, its predicted 2010 market share of 8.3% is expected to rise to 17.3% by 2014.

The Q410 BMI Colombia Retail Report forecasts that the country’s retail sales will grow from an estimated COP178,818bn (US$90.92bn) in 2010 to COP223,937bn (US$113.86bn) by 2014. Underlying economic growth, a young and increasingly urban population, the rise in disposable income and greater numbers of working women are key factors behind the forecast growth in Colombia’s retail sales. Colombia’s nominal GDP is predicted to be US$254.0bn in 2010, with 2009’s marginal growth of 0.4% expected to improve to 3.9% in 2010 as the economy begins to recover. Average annual GDP growth of 3.6% is predicted by BMI between 2010 and 2014. With the population increasing from an expected 46.3mn in 2010 to an estimated 48.7mn by 2014, GDP per capita is forecast to rise by 31.2% by the end of the forecast period, reaching US$7,197. Our forecast for consumer spending per capita is for an increase from a predicted US$3,582 in 2010 to US$5,496 by 2014.
Domestic demand will continue to be the key driver for the growth in GDP, with improvements in the security outlook feeding through to increased consumer and investor confidence. Although Colombia did not reach its target of 4mn tourist arrivals in 2009, due to factors such as the H1N1 virus and the global economic crisis, it still achieved 16% per cent growth in the number of foreign visitors last year, while the world average contracted by 4%.
In 2005, 64.5% of the Colombian population was described by the UN as economically active, with 39.2% in the 20-44 age range, which is crucial to retail sales. Over three-quarters of the population were classified by the UN as urban (77.4%). In 2010, the urban population is forecast to reach almost 80%, with 38.5% in the 20-44 age band and 67.3% of the population expected to be active. The retail sector benefits from Colombia’s status as the third most populous country in Latin America. Retail sub-sectors that are likely to see strong growth over the period include over the counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals, which BMI forecasts to grow from US$0.48bn in 2010 to US$0.80bn by 2014, a rise of 67.9%. Sales of consumer electronic products are estimated at US$3.46bn in 2010, with BMI forecasting a 43.9% rise to US$4.98bn by 2014.
Retail sales for our Latin American universe in 2010 are expected to reach US$1,166bn, based on varying national definitions. Total consumer spending for the region, based on BMI’s macroeconomic database, is predicted to be US$2,590bn. Mexico and Brazil are expected to account for an estimated 74.3% of regional retail sales in 2010, with those two countries plus Venezuela forecast to account for 84.6% of all retail sales in the region by 2014. For Colombia, its predicted 2010 market share of 7.8% is expected to fall to 6.3% by 2014.

The Q410 BMI Chile Retail report forecasts the country’s retail sales will grow from US$52.61bn in 2010 to US$81.80bn in 2014, an increase of 55.5%. High consumer spending power, well developed physical infrastructure and a business-friendly regulatory environment are key factors behind the forecast growth in Chilean retail sales.
Chile’s nominal GDP is predicted to be US$181.95bn in 2010, with 2009’s decline of 1.5% expected to turn into growth of 5.2% in 2010 as the economy recovers. Average annual GDP growth of 4.0% is forecast by BMI between 2010 and 2014. With the population increasing from an expected 17.1mn in 2010 to a forecast 17.7mn by 2014, GDP per capita is forecast to rise by 45.4% by the end of the forecast period, reaching US$15,463. Our forecast for consumer spending per capita is for an increase from US$6,116 in 2010 to US$9,188 by 2014.
In 2005, 66.4% of the Chilean population was described by the UN Population Division as economically active, with 37.5% in the crucial 20-44 age range, which is vital for retail sales. The majority of Chileans live in urban areas (87.7%), according to UN data, with 40% of the population living in the Santiago metropolitan area alone. By 2015, the urban population is forecast to have reached more than 90%, with 37.3% in the 20-44 age band and 68.6% of the population expected to be active.
Chile’s youth population is driving demand for consumer goods, with 3.34% of the household budget being spent on clothes in 2007, according to Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE). This was the highest spending category after cars, rent and public transport.
Retail sub-sectors expected to show strong growth over the forecast period include food and drink, with sales forecast to rise from an expected US$19.37bn in 2010 to US$29.89bn by 2014, a rise of 54.3%. Over the counter (OTC) pharmaceutical sales are forecast by BMI to increase from a predicted US$0.26bn in 2010 to US$0.37bn by the end of the forecast period, up by 46.6%; while automotive sales are forecast to rise by 43.3% to an estimated US$3.21bn by 2014. Consumer electronic products sales are forecast to rise by 27.6%, from an expected US$2.16bn in 2010 to US$2.75bn by 2014.
Foreign travel and tourists have stimulated increasingly consumerist attitudes and consumption in recent years. While global tourism declined by 4% in 2009, according to the UN World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), figures from INE show 2-3% growth in tourist arrivals to Chile in 2009.
Despite the difficult global economic environment in 2009, leading department store operator Falabella reached an agreement to develop new shopping malls with its smaller rival Ripley.
Retail sales for our Latin American universe in 2010 are expected to reach US$1,166bn, based on varying national definitions. Total consumer spending for the region, based on BMI’s macroeconomic database, is predicted to be US$2,590bn.

The Q410 BMI Brazil Retail report forecasts that the country’s retail sales will grow from BRL1,258.88bn (US$685.47bn) in 2010 to BRL1,841.11bn (US$1,002.50bn) by 2014. Generally positive trends in underlying economic growth, an enormous and growing population and rising disposable income are key factors behind the forecast growth in Brazil’s retail sales. Easier access to credit and the emergence of a wealthier middle class are also likely to help the value of the retail segment increase during the forecast period.
Brazil’s nominal GDP is predicted to be US$1,837bn in 2010, with 2009’s decline of 0.2% expected to turn into growth of 6.0% in 2010 as the economy recovers. Average annual GDP growth of 4.2% is predicted by BMI between 2010 and 2014.
With the population increasing from around 195mn in 2010 to an estimated 201mn by 2014, GDP per capita is forecast to rise by 45.9% by the end of the forecast period, reaching US$13,721. Our forecast for consumer spending per capita is for an increase from an expected US$5,952 in 2010 to US$8,894 by 2014.
The national monthly minimum wage rose by 26% in real terms between 2003 and 2006, and in 2010 the average annual salary is expected to be US$10,554. The lifestyles of middle and upper-income groups increasingly mirror those of their counterparts in developed countries and overall purchasing power has been increasing. However, income inequality is a major concern, with consumption patterns varying significantly according to salary. More than a third of the population lives on or below the poverty line and outside the main urban areas the proportion is closer to half.
In 2005, 67.8% of the Brazilian population was described by the UN as economically active, with 40.3% in the 20-44 age range, which is vital for retail sales. More than 84% of the population was classified by the UN as urban. By 2015, the urban population is forecast to have exceeded 88%, with 39.5% in the 20- 44 age band and 66.9% of the population expected to be economically active.
The non-grocery sector is outperforming the food sector as consumers increase their spending on household items and durable goods such as furniture, domestic appliances, cars and clothes. Easier access to credit is also proving to be good news for the retail sector. There were 118mn credit cards in Brazil in 2007, up from 44mn in 2003, according to Banco Central do Brasil (BCB).
Retail sub-sectors that are expected to show strong growth over the forecast period include food and drink, with sales predicted to rise from an expected US$191.24bn in 2010 to US$291.66bn by 2014, a rise of 52.5%. Over the counter (OTC) pharmaceutical sales are forecast by BMI to increase from an expected US$5.50bn in 2010 to US$8.12bn by 2014, up by 47.5%. Automotive sales are forecast to increase by 51.9% during the same period to reach US$100.23bn. The consumer electronics sector is predicted to grow by 41.2% between 2010 and 2014, from US$22.50bn to US$31.77bn.
Retail sales for our Latin American universe in 2010 are expected to reach US$1,166bn, based on varying national definitions. Total consumer spending for the region, based on BMI’s macroeconomic database, is predicted to be US$2,590bn. Mexico and Brazil together are expected to account for an estimated 74.3% of regional retail sales in 2010; with the two countries plus Venezuela likely to account for 84.6% of all retail sales in the region by 2014. For Brazil, the predicted 2010 market share of 58.6% is expected to fall to 54.3% by 2014.

The Q410 BMI Mexico Retail report forecasts that the country’s retail sales will grow from MXN2,255bn (US$180.39bn) in 2010 to MXN2,603bn (US$250.89bn) by 2014. Increasing affluence, a growing population – including a larger number of young people – and the continuing development of organised retail infrastructure are the key factors behind the forecast growth in Mexico’s retail sales.
Mexico’s nominal GDP is predicted to be US$898.87bn in 2010, with 2009’s 6.5% decline expected to turn into growth of 4.4% in 2010 as the economy begins to recover. Average annual GDP growth of 3.0% is predicted by BMI between 2010 and 2014. With the population increasing from an expected 108.5mn in 2010 to a forecast 112.2mn by 2014, GDP per capita is forecast to rise by 47.7% by the end of the forecast period, reaching US$12,230. Our forecast for consumer spending per capita is for an increase from a predicted US$5,795 in 2010 to US$8,614 in 2014.
Mexico is the world’s 11th largest country in terms of population. Almost 55% of Mexicans are 24 years old or younger, one of the highest percentages for an upper-middle income economy in the world. The proportion in the 20-44 age range, crucial for retail sales, is also high at 39.4% and is forecast to rise to 41.5% in 2010, according to the UN Population Division. In 2005, 63.6% of Mexicans were described by the UN as economically active and this is forecast to reach 66.3% in 2010. The trend towards urbanisation is predicted to continue, with the proportion of those living in towns and cities in 2005 estimated at 76% by the UN and forecast to reach 77.4% in 2010.
Consumer credit grew strongly in the years up to 2008. In 2006 alone, banks approved 8.7mn new credit cards, awarding 40% of the new accounts to customers with no previous credit history. There were estimated to be 29mn credit cards in circulation in Mexico in 2008, up from an estimated 22mn in 2007. The number of debit cards is put at 11mn. However, access to credit tightened considerably during 2009.
Retail sub-sectors forecast to show strong growth include food and drink, up by 51.5%, from a predicted US$63.22bn in 2010 to US$95.78bn in 2014; over the counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals, up by 46.2%, from US$1.57bn to US$2.29bn; and consumer electronics, up by 45.0% between 2010 and 2014, from US$10.40bn to US$15.09bn. According to BMI data, vehicle sales are forecast to rise by 49.2% during the forecast period, from US$1.67bn to US$2.50bn.
Retail sales for our Latin American universe in 2010 are expected to reach US$1,166bn, based on varying national definitions. Total consumer spending for the region, based on BMI’s macroeconomic database, is predicted to be US$2,590bn. Mexico and Brazil together are expected to account for an estimated 74.3% of regional retail sales in 2010, with those two countries plus Venezuela forecast to account for 84.6% of all retail sales in the region by 2014. Mexico’s predicted 2010 market share of 15.7% is expected to fall to 13.7% by 2014.

Browse complete The Future of Nutrition Labeling for Food and Drinks in Europe: Evolving consumer needs, manufacturer and retailer strategies and market opportunitiesReport

Browse all Business Insights Market Research Reports

‘The Future of Front-of-Pack Nutritional Labeling in Food and Drinks’ report aims to dispel some of the myths, compound some of the confusion and clarify many of the complications surrounding the issue of point of purchase labeling in the food and drink market. Taking a global perspective, the report was written in the first half of 2010 during a time of economic turbulence, political changes and regulatory transformations around the world. It is therefore as forward focused as possible, while providing insight into current, emerging and evolving influential trends and market drivers. As one nutrition labeling expert told the author during the report research, there is “never a good time to write a report like this, as so much changes so fast”. However, there is significant demand for an independent report from within the food and drink industry that provides an overview into the nutrition labeling options being considered by the regulators and major players. This report contains analysis of the influence of mandatory and voluntary labeling regulations on new product development (NPD), marketing and branding strategies, alongside an outline of consumer, manufacturer, retailer and regulator perspectives.

Every year new products are launched that make health claims. The functional food and drinks market has been one of the biggest success stories in the past decade, providing much-needed double-digit growth in the industry. However, the market is experiencing a significant drop in the huge growth that has been typical over the past decade. It is becoming an increasingly difficult market for NPD and a risky investment if the correct marketing, branding and NPD strategies are not adopted that suit the individual markets being targeted. Unilever’s soy fruit juice, AdeZ, is a prime example of a functional failure. Unilever spent €15.1m launching its first major UK brand in 12 years. It failed to even equal this investment, with €10.7m in sales before being pulled 18 months later in April 2008.

The depth and differentiation in health claims is one of the primary reasons why regulators feel the need to step in and act. There are concerns that consumers are being confused, misled and even deliberately duped by some manufacturers who make wild, bold and unfounded claims about the health benefits of their products. The regulators are calling for products to make honest health claims that are supported by sufficient, credible scientific evidence. There are also calls for a more unified system of labeling which will make it easier for consumers to make a more informed decision about which food and drink they should buy – if they are indeed looking to make the healthier choice.

Front of pack labeling (FOP) is the primary focus for regulators and forms the main part of the discussion in this report. The objective of this report is to provide some clarity in the nutritional labeling debate and assist manufacturers in their quest to make the right (and least costly) decision for their brand portfolio for the long term.

Sweden’s Keyhole FOP labeling system is frequently cited as a best-practice example that has stood the test of time in the global debate. First established in Sweden in 1989, it became accepted as a Nordic label for healthier food and drink in Denmark, Sweden and Norway on June 17, 2009.

The US is the biggest functional food and drink market in the world by value. By 2012, it is estimated that it will reach US$36.7bn with strong annual growth forecast from 2007.

According to the European Consumers’ Association, BEUC, independent research shows that a system of color-coding on the front of packs of processed food packaging which concisely displays whether the key nutrients of fat, saturated fats, sugars and salt – are high, medium or low with red, amber and green ‘traffic lights’, is best understood by consumers.

Many consumers are brand loyal and will scrutinize the labels of new products to determine if trial is necessary, according to aTate & Lyle study.

According to the FDA, More than half (54 percent) of consumers in the United States often read the food label when buying a product for the first time, which is a 10 percent increase from 2002. These consumers are also increasingly aware of the link between diet and heart disease.

P41 A Dutch study concludes that consumers consider interventions consisting of a larger variety of available portion sizes, pricing strategies and serving-size labeling as most acceptable. Ultimately, the study shows that people want choice and if they want to have a large meal, they should be able to do so.

According to Healthy Dining, a US group of restaurant-industry nutrition specialists, the process of obtaining accurate nutrition information for a full menu can cost from US$5,000 to more than U$35,000 depending on the number of menu items, number of fried items, and the complexity of the menu.

P55 Across six product categories, 16.8 percent of shoppers looked for nutrition information on the label, with the nutrition grid (table or list), GDA labels and the ingredients list as the main sources consulted. Women have a higher probability of looking for nutrition information and lower social grades having a lower probability.
