Kellogg reduced its reliance on breakfast cereals with the acquisition of Pringles in 2012, giving it a stronger presence in sweet and savoury snacks.

Lotte Group remains dependent on the Japanese and South Korean markets.

Consumer group 'CHOICE” conducted a survey on the 'Presence of BPA in baby food packaging and its health implications”. Some samples contained BPA exceeding the EU's limit of 600 parts per million levels. There is no upper limit set in Australian food laws. Later, Heinz decided to move to BPA-free baby food packaging, with canned baby foods being the first priority. Supermarket vendor Coles also decided to move to a totally BPA-free... mehr

Despite a strong loyalty towards powder milk formula in France, this product saw a decline in terms of consumption in 2010. In addition to the uncertain economic situation, powder milk formula suffered from a lack of promotion. Such factors provided opportunities for metal tins in the size of 400g and composite containers in the size of 900g to record positive growth in 2010 at the expense of metal tins in the 900g format.

The decreasing birth rate in Mexico over the review period and the high prices of baby food, compared to other packaged food types, did not strongly derail retail volume sales. This is mainly because female participation in the workplace makes it necessary to use packaged baby food from an early age. For instance, working schedules make it almost impossible for many mothers to breastfeed their babies during early development stages. The... mehr

Although glass is still the main packaging format for baby food, there was a decline in the use of glass jars for prepared baby food in 2011 due to the recent recession, with consumers opting for other more affordable alternatives and preparing their own baby food or using dried baby food.

Glass jars retained the edge in baby food packaging in 2011 not only because of its transparency, but also because of its premium image and excellent product protection. These features also benefit glass bottles as well, and baby food is one of the few packaged food categories in which the unit volume of glass is increasing rather than suffering gradual losses in volume to lighter and more flexible packaging materials, something which i... mehr

In Turkey every year one million babies are born, with baby food sales reaching almost €200 million in 2011. Although baby food grew very quickly in the last five years, there is still room for growth as only 30% of the population aged 0-3 years consumes packaged baby food. In Turkey, annually 9.6kg of packaged baby food is consumed per head, whereas in the UK 160kg is consumed, although there are fewer children born in the UK. Mother... mehr

Increasing health concerns impacted on French eating habits. This was thanks to TV government campaigns such as five portions of fruit and vegetables a day underlining the importance of a healthy diet. The French therefore showed an interest in canned/preserved fruit as an excellent alternative to fresh fruit. Brand owners offered more elaborate recipes for matching consumers’ expectations. As a result, metal food cans in the size of ... mehr

Although canned/preserved food packaging sales increased over the review period, there was a slight slowdown in growth over the past couple of years. Canned/preserved food is still popular amongst low-income consumers and provides a cost effective alternative during tough economic times. Given the recession and subsequent constraints placed on consumer budgets, canned/preserved food volume sales benefitted from this increased demand. Th... mehr

Liquid cartons made a strong impact in canned/preserved food in Sweden during 2011 following the trends towards lightweight and environmentally-friendly packaging. The introduction earlier in the review period of folding cartons for canned/preserved beans by healthfood company GoGreen in collaboration with packaging giant Tetra Pak was followed by the introduction of new products and packaging sizes, contributing to the overall strong p... mehr

Canned/preserved food was greatly affected by the financial crisis due to the fact that fresh products can be purchased at a lower price, although the effects of the recession are now receding. Growing numbers of working women, with an increasingly time-poor demographic, are driven to spend less time preparing meals, having a positive effect on canned/preserved food consumption. In addition, an increase in the number of single-person ho... mehr

With a 71% share, flexible packaging is the mainstay in the chilled processed food category. Flexible packaging’s ability to respond to consumer needs like convenience and waste management will make it a key packaging format for the future as well.

Long working hours and busy lifestyles led to growing demand for convenient products that are easy to eat. Healthier eating habits also gave a boost to product innovation as consumers were paying more attention to health concerns such as obesity. Brand owners therefore had to meet consumers’ expectations by offering products in convenient pack types and sizes. As a result, thin wall plastic containers in the size of 250g performed wel... mehr

Within chilled processed food, thin wall plastic containers and flexible plastic packaging are the dominant packaging formats, with folding carton gaining sales share during the review period. This can be attributed to increasing demand for quick meal solutions amongst consumers in the form of chilled pizza and chilled ready-meals, which are packaged in folding carton.

In 2011, much as the year before, chilled processed food increased in volume terms at the expense of frozen processed food as demand for freshness and better nutrition became increasingly prominent. As a result of this, demand for transparent packaging increased. For example, thin wall plastic containers increased in volume terms in chilled processed meat. Transparency enables consumers to see the product itself before purchase, which i... mehr

After the financial crisis in 2009, the increased price of red meat had a significant impact on unit prices. The chilled processed food brand owners started to mix red meat with turkey or chicken in order reduce costs, which changed the product taste in a negative way. In 2010, chilled processed meat producers had to increase their prices by 20% and therefore the category did not grow at 7% as it had done in previous years. On the other... mehr

With a 90% share in 2011, flexible packaging will continue to be the mainstay of confectionery packaging. It gives more room for innovative packaging effects like textured embossing, foil lamination and varnishes.

Euromonitor International's Confectionery Packaging in Australia report offers insight into key trends and developments driving packaging across the category. The report also examines trends and prospect for various... mehr

Greater price sensitivity led brand owners to revise their strategy in terms of product offers. As the French showed more sensitivity in terms of purchasing habits, small sizes within confectionery remained a strategy to boost sales. They enabled players to gain brand loyalty, and thereby to increase sales rotation of confectionery. As a result, small sizes such as 32g within bubble gum, 80g within chocolate confectionery and 18g within... mehr

As consumers are recovering from the recent recession, demand for non-essential products increased slightly, with on-the-go consumption and impulse confectionery being the main drivers behind this trend. In most confectionery areas, flexible packaging remained the standard type of packaging, with rigid plastic containers making inroads in packaging for chewing gum.

Euromonitor International's Confectionery Packaging in South... mehr

In 2011, the trend of increasing demand for products intended to be shared continued and was linked to the trend towards greater demand for on-the-go consumption as the majority of products in confectionery are impulse products that are designed to be consumed at the time of purchase rather than taken home, stored and eaten at a later time. These products are often located close to checkouts in retail outlets in order to maximise impuls... mehr

With an annual production capacity of 1.9 million tonnes, the confectionery industry holds an important position in Turkey. The traditional sweet Turkish delight, caramel, chewing gum and toffees are some of the confectionery products exported worldwide. Confectionery sales reached TL5 billion in 2011. The Islamic Ramadan holiday, which is celebrated using confectionery, is an important factor driving sales, considering that every one i... mehr

2011 was a slow period for the Australian dairy category due to restricted consumer spending. This impacted the packaging industry as well and cost competitiveness remained a major factor in 2011.

The increasing home-made meals trend in France was chiefly triggered by the fragile economic climate over the review period. The French therefore moved towards more cocooning in order to cut spending. Brand owners therefore took the opportunity to adjust their offer by widening their range. In December 2010 Régilait SA launched Régilait Cuisine for meal preparation. This product launch therefore presented an opportunity fo... mehr

Rigid plastic packaging was the main packaging format within dairy packaging in South Africa in 2011, with both PET and HDPE bottles recording significant growth over the review period. PET bottles are mainly found within drinking milk products while HDPE bottles are present within a wide range of dairy areas and are making inroads within long-life/UHT milk.

Cream was a relatively dynamic product area in 2011, although the products launched were mainly variations of the introduction of thin wall plastic containers with plastic screw closures introduced in 2010.

Dairy products, including milk, yoghurt, cheese, kefir (a fermented milk drink) and ayran (a yoghurt-based drink which is made by mixing yoghurt with water), form an integral part of the traditional Turkish diet.

Packaging companies like Tetra Pak and dairy producers such as Pinar continue social projects in order to strengthen social recognition and change the... mehr

The increasing trend of home-made meals had a strong impact on product offers. The French market saw an interest in convenience in term of meal preparation. In October 2010 Nestlé France SA launched Les Papillotes de Poulet under the Maggi brand in flexible aluminium/plastic in the size of 34g within dry sauces/powder mixes. As a result, flexible aluminium/plastic was able to consolidate its leading position within dry sauces/pow... mehr

The new plastic dispensing closures, with a non-returnable valve, were first introduced by Heinz Foods in 2008 and were adopted by many brand owners over the review period. This new closure innovation focusses on convenience and helped to fuel strong retail unit volume growth for rigid plastic within sauces, dressings and condiments packaging in 2011. As a result, HDPE and PET packaging recorded significant growth and secured a strong p... mehr

Plastic pouches continued to grow in popularity in Sweden during 2011 due the packaging format’s light weight, flexibility and, in many cases, the fact that plastic pouches are microwaveable. Initially, pouches were used exclusively as refill units for categories such as sauces, dressings and condiments, but the focus has changed and the usage of plastic pouches now covers many more areas as well in recognition of its additional funct... mehr

Sauces, dressings and condiments packaging registered unit sales growth in 2011, thanks mainly to flexible packaging and glass packaging. Glass bottles saw good growth in percentage terms in 2011, driven by rising consumption of glass-packaged mayonnaise, tomato pastes/purées and pickled product; although rigid plastic grew the fastest as it remains perceived by consumers as bringing better value for money.

In 2011 overall volume for baby food packaging in Brazil grew by 4% and will post a CAGR of 3% between 2011 and 2016 to reach 408 million units. Metal remains the biggest primary packaging type in baby food, with a volume share of 36%. Dried baby remains the leading category in baby food packaging, accounting for 58% of the overall volume, but its volume is expected to decrease at a CAGR of -1% over the forecast period.

Unit volumes of baby food packaging declined in 2011 by 1% — from 181 million units in 2010, to 178 million units in 2011. Demand for products in this category is driven by the fact that there are demographic shifts (such as lower birth rates as well as an older population that is being expanded by immigration of adults) in Canada which are resulting in an older population and shrinking younger population. Another major trend whic... mehr

Overall unit volumes are stagnating thanks to dwindling birth rates. With the 2010/2011 economic growth, parents sought to give their babies the best nutrition possible. Given the high level of nutritional awareness, more emphasis on wholesome nutrition was observed and this came with greater demand for wider varieties of products used in daily feeding of babies. With this, there was enhanced need for better portionability, with this co... mehr

Total sales in the baby food category are directly linked to the birth rate. According to the Spanish National Statistical Institute, there was a decline in the growth rate of the number of babies in 2011. The economic crisis reduced immigration in Spain, as well as lowering disposable incomes and increasing unemployment rates, which are all limiting the number of couples deciding to have babies. This decreased the growth of sales for b... mehr

As in many developed economies, Thailand, although a developing country, has started to register slower birth rates. New families expect to have only 1-2 children per family. In both 2009 and 2010, Thailand’s annual birth rate increased by less than 1%. This trend is expected to lead to a flat birth rate by 2022. The cost of living is rising and raising children is increasingly expensive and demanding due to the busy lifestyles of par... mehr

Glass has proven to be a resilient packaging format for various foods. However, due to the high environmental costs associated with manufacturing and discouraging recycling policies, this packaging format is slowly retreating. The decrease in the use of glass leaves room for other pack types such as liquid carton. In 2011, this pack type was introduced in a series of baby drinking products and proved popular amongst consumers.

In 2011 the overall canned/preserved food packaging volume in Brazil grew by 2% and is also expected to register a CAGR of 3% between 2011 and 2016, reaching 2.6 billion units. Metal food can remains the predominant primary packaging type in canned/preserved food packaging.

The popularity of health and wellness as well as an enhanced focus on food quality are making life a struggle for canned foods. Over the review period, consumers took a keener interest in items in their diets and their ingredients. Despite relatively stable prices of canned foods, consumers raised their effective demand for fresh products, aided by the 2010/2011 economic growth, which raised disposable incomes. Given the improved dispos... mehr

The negative economic situation suffered in Spain was the most important trend affecting the performance of canned/preserved food in 2010. The high level of unemployment and the strong public deficit resulted in the average Spanish disposable income dropping and Spaniards increasing demand for basic products. Price became the key factor in consumer purchases, which has benefitted the development of private label due to the drop in price... mehr

Compared to fresh produce, canned/preserved food has some advantages, such as lower cost and longer shelf life. Canned/preserved food remains a good choice for middle- and low-income consumers, especially in rural areas, where the distribution of fresh produce is scarce. As a result, canned/preserved fish/seafood continued to gain popularity among middle- and low-income households.

Chilled processed food packaging saw volume sales rise slowly but surely over 2011.

Chilled and frozen food packaging saw unit volume growth of 4% in 2010 to reach 595 million units. Of this, flexible plastic accounted for 504 million units, or an 85% share of chilled and frozen food packaging unit volume. This high participation is explained by its low cost and the high participation enjoyed by chilled processed meats, which only utilises flexible plastic packaging.

Chilled processed food products, predominantly consisting of chilled processed meat locally known as kolbasa and sosiski, are enjoying strong growth. As in canned/processed food, production of such products is considered to be one of the most profitable businesses in Uzbekistan. Attracting many domestic investors, chilled processed food benefited from new product launches, while competition among them resulted in improvements in quality... mehr

In 2010, confectionery packaging saw unit volume growth of 2% to reach 7.8 billion units. As its unit volume reached 5.7 billion units in 2010, flexible plastic remained the leading pack type in accounting for a 73% share of total confectionary packaging unit volume compared with the corresponding figure of 69% seen in 2009. This excellent performance was the result of companies increasingly utilising flexible plastic instead of using f... mehr

According to industry sources, the price of flexible plastic increased faster than that of liquid cartons between 2007 and 2009, which served to reduce the considerable price gap between the two formats. Historically, in fresh/pasteurised milk, flexible plastic was adopted as a more economical packaging solution than liquid cartons. During the period of high inflation, prior to the onset of the economic crisis, flexible plastic increase... mehr

Like many Eastern countries, rice is a very popular product, widely applied in Uzbekistani cuisine. However, rice is not consumed as an alternative to bread, but the range of food with rice is still wide. Nevertheless, the major part of consumption is related to pilaff, traditional food made of rice with the same ratio of carrot and meat. Considering the fact that cooking pilaff is closely related to the number of wedding ceremonies and... mehr

2010 was not a successful year for drinking milk products in Uzbekistan. The principal reason for this was the pull-out of one of Uzbekistan’s major dairy producers, Wimm-Bill-Dann-Tashkent IP OOO. The local subsidiary of the Russian dairy and juice giant was set up in 2004 after it acquired a majority share in local player Toshkent Sut Zavodi. In 2009, the Uzbek National Security Service started investigations into the company’s ac... mehr

Ice cream in Uzbekistan is becoming more mature and producers are therefore looking for new opportunities in order to boost the popularity of ice cream. At the same time, consumers are constantly demanding new product developments. The backdrop to all of this is the very hot climate in Uzbekistan which creates endless demand for ice cream, one of the favourite cool and refreshing foodstuffs during the very hot and dry summer days in Uzb... mehr

The high sales of vegetable and seed oil in Uzbekistan are based on the fact that vegetable and seed oil are primary components in traditional Uzbek cuisine. Ethnic Uzbeks in particular consume a high amount of oils and fats. In 2010, oils and fats increased in value by 13% to UZS599.6 billion while volume increased by 8% to 158,000 tonnes.

Flexible plastic packaging remained the most widely used pack type in sauces, dressings and condiments with 407 million units in 2010, followed by brick liquid carton with 408 million units. Brick liquid carton packaging was the leading pack type in sauces, dressings and condiments until the end of 2007. However, increased demand for plastic pouches, particularly in mayonnaise, has seen flexible packaging become established as the leadi... mehr

Baby food is still quite a dynamic area in Indonesia. Whilst the proportion of the elderly is gradually rising due to better healthcare and standards of living that extend the life expectancy, whilst the birth rate has been falling due to a shift away from having many children led by urbanisation, Indonesia is still very much a young population. As more and more parents lead busier lifestyles with fewer nuclear families being able to af... mehr

Overall packaging demand continued to decline in 2010, as the birth rate continued to slide, and the share of elderly people continued to grow.

Recovery from the impact of the global economic crisis, led to improved consumer spending in 2010. This resulted in baby food recording positive, albeit slow, unit volume growth. Baby food saw packaging unit volume growth of 1% in 2010, an improvement from its less than 1% growth in 2009.

Baby food packaging made gains of 8.5 million units in 2010, an increase of 6% year-on-year. With an ever expanding base of working mothers to cater for, producers of prepared baby food have continued to reap the benefits. This increasingly time-poor demographic no longer has the time to prepare their infants’ meals from scratch, and so rely on dried and prepared baby food. The trend has also seen a decline in breastfeeding in Turkey,... mehr

Canned/preserved food packaging clocked strong performance in 2010 partly due to still strong performance of canned/preserved food products themselves. Canned/preserved food’s growing popularity is part of Indonesian consumers’ overall shift away from fresh food to packaged food, with a variety of packaged food products such as frozen processed food, chilled food and canned/preserved food all registering strong volume growth over th... mehr

Canned/preserved food continued to see challenges, as these products are perceived as being less fresh and healthy compared with chilled or frozen products or fresh produce. However, their lower price compared with these healthier options, and the benefits which canned/preserved food offers (convenience, time-saving) maintained demand for some types of canned food.

Improved consumer spending, coupled with increasingly hectic lifestyles fuelled the demand seen for canned/preserved food and its associated packaging in 2010. Canned/preserved food was particularly popular amongst consumers with tight schedules, due to its ease of preparation, allied to the fact that it is relatively easy to store and has a long shelf life.

In 2010, canned/preserved food packaging saw only modest growth of 1%. The category continues to be dominated by metal food cans, although it is metal that has continued to see a decline in the face of modern pack formats. Liquid cartons achieved the strongest growth of 28% in canned/preserved food in 2010. This was exclusively due to brick liquid carton growth, and its sole application in canned/preserved tomatoes. The small-volume bri... mehr

Chilled and frozen processed food benefitted from Indonesian consumers’ gradual shift from fresh food to packaged food due to more hectic lifestyles over the historic period. Volume growth of chilled and frozen processed food products was robust in 2010, despite relatively few developments on the packaging front. Up to 2010, only flexible plastic packaging was available for chilled processed food, whilst for frozen processed food ther... mehr

Other than chilled processed meats and chilled fish/seafood, both of which contain products intended for home cooking, chilled ready meals, or bento boxes as they are affectionately known amongst local consumers, was the most influential category in chilled processed food in Japan during 2010. The majority of new product innovations and marketing and advertising campaigns were concentrated in chilled ready meals.

Improved consumer purchasing power, resulting from the recovery of the Filipino economy, drove demand for chilled and frozen processed food and its associated packaging in 2010. Unit volume growth was largely driven by robust demand for frozen processed fish/seafood, frozen processed desserts, chilled processed meats, frozen processed red meat and frozen processed potatoes.

Food consumption habits are changing in line with the lifestyles of the Turkish population, particularly in the country’s urban centres, where consumers increasingly prefer to spend less time on food preparation.

Despite this, chilled and frozen processed food packaging ac... mehr

Confectionery products in Indonesia are present in a variety of pack types and pack sizes, with changes in pack types in particular quite common from one year to another — especially for the most established sugar confectionery — as manufacturers strive to keep consumer interest in the products.

Confectionery, an inexpensive indulgence, did not take a strong beating in 2010 (compared with other expensive indulgences, on which consumers cut their expenditure due to the economic slowdown); however, sales of confectionery declined due to the economic slowdown.

Filipinos are known to have a preference for sweet food types. This is evident in their craving for desserts after a meal and manifested in the presence of sweets in almost all retail outlets that sell food. Countlines and tablets are a common favourite among children and adults alike. Both are also popular snacks, even among the working populace, as an instant source of energy. Popular brands in the Philippines include Goya, Kit Kat, S... mehr

In 2010, confectionery packaging managed to sustain unit sales growth. The economic slowdown had seen a decline in consumption of non-essential items during 2009, as epitomised by the confectionery category, but after the economy staged a recovery during the last quarter of the year, consumer confidence began to return to these categories. Coming out of recession, the most successful categories have proved to be impulse foods such as co... mehr

Dairy packaging continued to live up to its good prospects in Indonesia in 2010, recording once again double-digit volume growth. A main reason for this strong showing is the strong performance of dairy products, with especially milk consumption continuing to rise in Indonesia, a country where dairy products are not a typical part of the daily diet. Milk’s image as a healthy drink has continued to be pushed over the years by the gover... mehr

Fresh/pasteurised milk continued to see challenges to growth due to lactose-intolerance amongst many consumers, as well as the fact that drinking milk products are not traditionally or culturally popular in Japan. Also, such products face competition from other popular beverages, such as sports drinks, RTD coffee and RTD tea, and are not considered good thirst-quenchers. The continued low birth rate also had a negative impact on the dem... mehr

In 2010, an improving economy, under the leadership of a new president, drove demand for consumer goods, including dairy products. As a result, most dairy categories saw positive unit volume growth in 2010. One of the most significant developments was seen in drinking milk products, which recorded positive unit volume growth, following the negative volume growth seen in both 2008 and 2009.

Dairy packaging registered healthy gains in 2010. Still accounting for the lion’s share of dairy packaging volumes, rigid plastic continued to be the main driver of unit volume growth, the bulk of this due to high levels of application for thin wall plastic and other rigid containers.

Latin America is the second-fastest growth region for retail packaging in the foods industry with pack consumption up 3% in 2010 compared to a more subdued increase seen in neighbouring North America.

Plastics through flexible plastic and thin wall plastic containers provide the best prospects. Eu... mehr

Indonesian cooking heavily uses sauces and condiments, therefore sauces, dressings and condiments products are already deeply established in the country and volume growth of the products is already quite stable as well. This is also reflected in the performance of the total packaging volume sales, which stayed healthy but not robust in 2010 with slight boost to volume growth coming from some smaller pack sizes growing in popularity.

Sauces, dressings and condiments continued to see good growth in 2010, as the trend for home cooking strengthened due to the economic slowdown; consumers preferred to eat at home in order to save money.

Sauces, dressings and condiments packaging registered moderate growth in 2010, with robust upward movement from flexible plastic and paper-based containers offset by a sluggish performance from metal food cans.

In terms of substitution, brick liquid c... mehr

Global retail sales of canned/preserved, chilled processed and frozen processed food continue to grow, regardless of broader economic concerns, as more consumers look for cost-effective, as well as convenient, alternatives to eating out.

Although the vast majority of baby food products are very expensive on a per-kilo basis, baby food, nonetheless, saw good performance over the review period. Special baby formula, for example, can be priced up to Mx$300 per kilo, while other formulas vary between Mx$210 to Mx$250 per kilo, prices that a rather limited proportion of the population can actually afford. Despite this, powder milk formula saw particularly strong performance ... mehr

Metal packaging managed to maintain its dominance in canned/preserved food packaging over the review period, despite seeing a three percentage point decline in unit volume share from 94% in 2005 to 91% in 2010. According to industry insiders, trends in food packaging are driven by the supply side; both by packaging converters and food producers. For example, metal food cans successfully saw off the threat posed by pouches, as manufactur... mehr

Chilled processed meats accounted for an 87% share of chilled processed food packaging unit volume in 2010. Chilled processed meats faced little in the way of competition from other categories, such as canned/preserved meat.

Gum continued as the leading category in accounting for a 45% share of confectionery packaging unit volume in 2010. This is unsurprising, given that Mexico has the third highest gum consumption in the world, according to industry sources.

The migration away from gable top liquid cartons in drinking milk products continued in 2010, particularly in fresh/pasteurised milk. While, in 2001, gable top liquid cartons accounted for a 55% share of fresh/pasteurised milk unit volume, in 2010 this figure was down to 22%. This figure is expected to decrease further in coming years, as gable top liquid cartons loses further sales share to HDPE bottles, flexible plastic and other shap... mehr

Liquid cartons saw unit volume growth of 5% in sauces, dressings and condiments in 2010, and, in so doing, consolidated its dominant position in tomato pastes and purées and wet/cooking sauces, wherein it accounted for respective unit volume sales share of 77% and 68% in 2010. In addition, it continued to make inroads in table sauces packaging. New products using liquid cartons were launched in liquid stock and fonds by Campbell ... mehr

On the whole, volume of baby food packaging decreased marginally in 2010 to reach 172 million units.

Powder milk formula is the major category in baby food in terms of packaging unit volumes. The powder milk formula industry seems to have recovered from the despair caused by melamine contamination and the detection of sakazakii bacteria during the latter years of the review period and some category developments have been seen, for example the industry stepped up its development of organic powder milk formula packaged in 550g and 400g m... mehr

After many years of a decreasing birth rate, Spain has seen a slight increase in the birth rate, and in 2009 it reached its highest point since 1990. Immigration is the main reason for this increase as one in every three new babies in the country has a foreign mother, according to data from INE (National Statistics Office). As a result, although milk formula registered a good performance prior to 2009, the lower number of immigrants ent... mehr

The milk powder contamination scandal in 2008 continued to be felt in Taiwan in 2010. Parents are still hugely concerned about the safety and quality of baby milk formula.

Baby food in the Netherlands is generally stable and solid and has been consolidated for some time now. In 2010 there were no significant developments in packaging volume in prepared baby food.

Demographic trends continue to be the key factor determining baby food sales in the US as the declining birth rate is leading to fewer infant mouths to feed.

There is no economic recession in the food industry per se; people still have to eat, but the way that they do their shopping changes.” This statement has been heard many times from many food packaging participants.

Canned/preserved food experienced slow growth in 2010 due to the category’s maturity and the healthier lifestyles being pursued by Chinese consumers, which is leading them to opt out of canned/preserved food in favour of fresh food.

Canned/preserved fish accounts for the lion’s share of canned/preserved food packaging with volumes of 352 million units. Tuna is the most common canned/preserved fish.

Demand for canned/preserved food is being boosted by the increase in the number of single-person households and the demand for low prices. As household structures change and new living patterns emerge in Spain, demand is developed for products that can be prepared quickly. Metal food cans are the most popular canned/preserved food packaging format due to their longer shelf life in comparison with glass jars and bottles. However, the vol... mehr

Total packaging unit volumes continued to grow in the low single digits in 2010 thanks to the rising share of smaller packaging sizes.

Canned/preserved food packaging volume is experiencing difficulties due to sustained and increasing demand for fresh and healthy food in the Netherlands. Canned/preserved food is perceived as being an economy product, low in quality despite being economical.

Convenience is a growing trend in chilled processed food. Its popularity is derived from the increasingly hectic lifestyles of consumers who spend a growing number of hours away from home.

For example, in 2010, Campofrío Food Group SA... mehr

Taiwanese consumers’ changing lifestyles continue to drive the growth of chilled and frozen processed food.

The majority of new packaging formats introduced in 2010 were smaller sized and designed to be placed near checkouts in order to attract the attention of consumers. Increased snacking habits, longer working hours and the fact that consumers are spending more time outside the home have resulted in a decline in sales of traditional 500g of flexible plastic within bagged selflines/softlines. In addition, rising health awareness and a conse... mehr

With US consumers increasingly concerned about the health impact of what they eat, confectionery manufacturers have been looking for ways to increase sales while remaining sensitive to these concerns.

However fast expanding organised retail chai... mehr
