Executive summary

Strong performance by packaged food in 2008

2008 proved to be a good year for packaged food, with sales growing faster than during most of the previous years of the review period. There were also more new product launches in 2008, in categories from new flavoured biscuits and snack bars to healthy options of cream cheese, jams and cereals.

Increases in the cost of raw materials have an impact across the board

One factor impacting every category of packaged food in 2008 was the rising cost of raw materials. Increases in the cost of many inputs – from milk to wheat and from rice to sugar – forced manufacturers to increase retail prices to the end consumer in order to cover costs. This is a trend that is expected to continue over the forecast period since the cost of raw materials is likely to increase further as demand continues to exceed supply.

Local and multinational companies fight for value share

Both multinational and domestic companies play an important role in packaged food and often fight for both shelf space and value share within a highly competitive environment. Cooperativa de Productos de Leche Dos Pinos, RL, Cía Numar SA and Cía de Galletas Pozuelo DCR, SA are three of the top national companies that offer innovative brands and have a long history within Costa Rica. On the other hand, Nestlé Costa Rica SA, Unilever de Centro América SA and Kraft Foods Costa Rica SA are three of the giant multinationals that are winning over consumers with their well-known brands, high quality and diverse product offerings.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets increases its presence in the distribution landscape

Consumers are shifting their purchasing habits and shopping more frequently at supermarkets, the new one-stop shop. Supermarkets are becoming increasingly accessible as they are opening in a greater number of neighbourhoods, making them a convenient place to buy packaged food. Furthermore, a wider variety of products are available through these outlets, making them the new distribution channel of choice.

Solid future for packaged food

There is a promising future for packaged food since sales as a whole are projected to grow at a more rapid pace than during the review period. Health and convenience will be the key drivers over the forecast period as consumers are looking to lead healthier lifestyles and also to save time in the kitchen, thereby making their lives easier.
