Top Global Food and Beverage Companies: Strategies for Success

Global branding in the food and beverage consumer packaged goods industry has never been more challenging. Manufacturers are undoubtedly used to working in a ‘fast moving’ industry but in recent years the pace of change has accelerated. In many Western major food and drink markets, the level of competitiveness has been elevated by low volume growth and reduced margins, brought about by market saturation and the rising cost of raw materials. Added to this, retailers have been hugely successful at building premium offerings that compete head on with brands in terms of quality and value. The quest for innovation is becoming harder, forcing businesses to rethink the way they do business, formulate strategy and deliver on consumer expectations.

The Gluten-Free Food and Beverage Market: Trends and Developments Worldwide, 2nd Edition

Pages : 188

The retail market for gluten-free foods and beverages is exploding as a result of multiple triggers. On the marketer side, giant General Mills has converted its venerable Rice Chex Brand to gluten-free status, thus beginning what promises to be a battle of giants as other mega-marketers look to enter the fray. The first giant marketer to create a gluten-free product was Anheuser-Busch, which debuted a gluten-free beer, Redbridge in 2006. Also that year the international spice giant McCormick and Co. acquired Simply Asia Foods. Undeterred, numerous specialty marketers have sprung up, using web 2.0 networking to sell directly in what has long been a consumer driven market.

On the consumer side, demand has been growing exponentially as sufferers of a wide variety of maladies (including celiac disease, autism, attention deficit disorder, irritated bowel syndrome, and MS) have come to believe a gluten-free diet will provide relief. The consumer core of celiac disease, and gluten allergy, sufferers is also growing steadily as diagnosis and treatment of these conditions has improved and increased.

Retailers are holding up their side too. Supermarkets’ gluten-free marketing ranges from gluten-free product lists on their websites, to gluten-free private-label reformulations, to new gluten-free store sections. Even the Federal Government is lending a hand as it finalizes regulatory criteria for gluten-free labeling. This new regulatory clarity should prove a boon to marketers currently struggling through a hodge-podge of self-help organizations for certification. Even the current economic slowdown cannot be seen as a negative factor for the overall gluten-free foods and beverages market, as hard-pressed consumers are motivated to try dietary self-help when mainstream medical assistance grows out of reach.

Packaged Facts projects that this segment of the U.S. retail marketplace enjoyed a 28% CAGR to reach .56 billion by the end of 2008. Packaged Facts goes on to project that the segment will continue to grow, though not at the same torrid pace, through 2012.

Trends in new product introductions are examined in depth, based on data from Datamonitors Product Launch Analytics, as are trends in functional ingredients and condition-specific product thrusts. The report also profiles major marketers, including Groupe Danone, Kellogg Co., Kraft Foods, Nestl SA, PepsiCo and Natures Path Organic.

Water filtration applications in a Food and Beverage facility

In a typical Food and Beverage facility there are many different water and process applications, each demanding its own specific level of water purity. The presence, flows and purity of each of these streams is driven by the Food and Beverage plant design, e.g. canning, dry-goods, soft-drink, brewery.

These can include:

Pre-treatment of well, surface or city water
Boiler water treatment
Condensate treatment
Process water treatment
Cleaning and sterilization service water
Hygiene Services
Waste water disposal.

Regardless of the application, there is a good chance that some type of industrial water filtration will be required in order for the Food and Beverage application to operate at its peak efficiency.

Defining the Types of Water Filtration Systems

Water filtration options can be divided into two major categories, based upon the filtering media used

granular and
membrane.

Granular water filtration has been used for many decades in the Food and Beverage Industry, and will be familiar to most. Examples of granular media filtration include sand filters; activated carbon filters for taste, odor, and chlorine removal; anthracite filters; and fine garnet filters.

These types of filters can remove suspended particles down to about 10 microns in diameter (1 micron = 10-6 meters). With the use of certain coagulant or flocculation polymers fed prior to these filters (fed as filter aids), some success has been seen in the removal of particles down to almost 1 micron.

The spacing between the discrete filtering media particles serves as the pores.

Suspended solids trapped out by these filters will be collected on top of the filtration media bed, or within the pores.

Membrane water filtration uses membranes to remove suspended particles. Unlike granular filters, the membranes are designed with pores and are capable of removing much smaller particles. The ultimate membrane filtration is reverse osmosis (RO), where dissolved solids (metal ions) can be removed. This is not really a filtration mechanism in the truest sense of the words, as the semi-permeable membranes used in RO do not have pores. It is more properly thought of as a demineralization mechanism.

Membrane water filtration is best characterized by the size range of the filterable particles, as follows:

Microfiltration (MF) can include woven or wound depth-type cartridge filters, or true membrane filters. Can remove particles from about 0.1 micron to over 1 micron.
Ultrafiltration (UF) can remove particles from below 0.01 microns to over 0.1 microns. Can remove some large molecular weight organic dissolved material.
Nanofiltration (NF) can remove particles from below 0.001 microns to 0.01 microns. Can remove smaller molecular weight organics.
RO can remove particles from 0.0001 microns to 0.001 microns. Can also remove DISSOLVED IONIC SOLIDS.

Report Summary

The functional bone and joint health market has been characterized by a lack of vibrancy. A high consumer interest/consumption disconnect is reflective of industry players struggling to market niche ingredients outside of calcium and vitamin D, with consumers often looking to ordinary everyday products, believing that they do not require a fortified product to get their recommended daily intake.

Features and benefits

* Identify the size of the functional bone and joint health market across 20 countries and growth prospects up until 2015
* Evaluate the potential impact on consumer demand of marketing and product development through utilizing consumer, product and market insight
* Identify and capitalize on the main consumer trends that are driving rising demand for functional products
* Gain an understanding of the main obstacles that brands are encountering and how these can be overcome

http://www.reportsnreports.com/reports/139875-the-future-of-functional-food-and-beverages-bone-and-joint-health.html

Highlights

The status of bone and health conditions as being painful rather than life-threatening means that consumer fears do not match those of other conditions.

Brands must seek to convince consumers that they are not getting enough calcium in their normal diets and that consuming functional products will safeguard against problems in later life.

The category has expanded its presence beyond traditional “breakfast” products such as fortified milk, juice and yogurt into a broader range of products from snacks to confectionery, sauces, and even ready meals.

Brands have also become more adept at emphasizing the natural occurrence of bone- and joint-friendly ingredients in existing products.

In overcoming the interest/consumption gap that characterizes developing markets, the industry must seek to overcome issues such as lack of availability and affordability, and take into account regional dietary preferences. Moreover, clarity of communication is imperative, and the primary focus should be to educate the consumer.

Your key questions answered

* What are the growth prospects for functional food and beverages in the bone and joint health market up until 2015?
* How can demand for functional products be fostered among separate, distinct consumer segments?
* What are the key inhibitors that are subduing demand for functional bone and joint health products?
* How can functional brands overcome the prevailing and marked disconnect between interest in, and actual consumption of, functional products?
* How can functional brands effectively utilize marketing to emphasize product efficacy and maintain authenticity?

Soda. And not just sugary soda, either—diet soda can make you gain weight as well. Recent studies have shown that dieters who drink diet soda actually gain weight—possibly because diet soda doesn’t help reduce an overall craving for sweets. Sweetened soda, of course, is just full of empty, do-nothing calories.
Energy drinks. Keep in mind that “energy” is often marketing-speak for “calories.” Unless you’re an elite athlete, you probably aren’t doing enough work to warrant replacing your electrolytes with an energy drink—so you’re just drinking extra calories and undoing all your good exercising work.
Fancy coffee beverages. Don’t be fooled because these drinks have “coffee” in the title—once you add cream, syrups and whipped cream, you’ve completely undone any of caffeine’s fat burning properties. Not convinced your frothy indulgence can ruin your diet? One Gotta-Have-It sized Caramel Latte from Cold Stone Creamery has 1,790 calories and 57 grams of fat. That’s the calorie equivalent of more than three Big Macs. Stick to plain ol’ coffee.
Fancy cocktails. A shot of liquor isn’t bad—in fact, it has fewer calories than a glass of wine or a cooler—but if you mix your hard alcohol with syrups, cream or other mixers, you’ve concocted a dessert, not a drink. A White Russian, for example—made with vodka, coffee liqueur and cream—can have up to 715 calories. That’s more than a KFC Double Down sandwich. And don’t think drinks made with fruit juice are healthier—a pina colada can have up to 600 calories. If you want to drink, stick to wine, light beer, or a shot of liquor with plain soda water.
Green tea. Hands down, this is one of the most powerful fat-burning “foods” you can find. This is because green tea contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which, when combined with the caffeine in a standard cup of tea, can have a positive effect on your weight-loss efforts. Studies have shown that people who consume green tea extract burn more fat—up to 17% more—than subjects that took a placebo. Green tea can help improve your body’s glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, which reduces fat storage. Drink 2-3 cups of green tea per day to get the best results.
Ice water. Drink eight glasses of ice water a day, and you could burn up to 70 calories—about the equivalent of a medium-sized apple. That’s because your body has to burn energy in order to warm the water up, which, in turn, burns calories.
Fancy cocktails. A shot of liquor isn’t bad—in fact, it has fewer calories than a glass of wine or a cooler—but if you mix your hard alcohol with syrups, cream or other mixers, you’ve concocted a dessert, not a drink. A White Russian, for example—made with vodka, coffee liqueur and cream—can have up to 715 calories. That’s more than a KFC Double Down sandwich. And don’t think drinks made with fruit juice are healthier—a pina colada can have up to 600 calories. If you want to drink, stick to wine, light beer, or a shot of liquor with plain soda water.
