The key trend in 2017 is the influence of cooking television programmes on the way consumers cook. Indeed, in programmes like Top Chef, Goed Volk and De keuken van Sofie, participants mostly use butter to cook with. This had a positive impact on butter sales in 2017 since Belgian consumers copy the chefs and are using more and more butter to cook. Actually, butter registered a decline at the start of the review period because it was perceived as being unhealthy with too much fat. However, Belgians are now returning to butter as it is perceived as being more natural than margarine. Indulgence is also playing a role in the growth of butter for use in cooking due to its better taste. As a result, butter recorded positive current value growth of 1% in 2017, making it the best performing category.
Corman SA, the local distributor of Savencia Fromage & Dairy, led butter in Belgium in 2017 with a value share of 34%. Corman SA can relied on the popularity of its two butter brands Balade and Carlsbourg to record a good performance in 2017. Its Solight brand also performed strongly in 2017. In 2017, Corman SA introduced a big innovation in butter under its Carlsbourg brand with it launching the first liquid butter on the market. This launch meets the current trend for cooking with butter. The difficulty with cooking with butter is that it usually begins to burn at 120°C, but this liquid version is capable of reaching 220°C without burning. Carlsbourg liquid butter is sold in a user-friendly top down bottle. To illustrate the impact of cooking television programmes on butter, one can note that Julien Lapraille, ex-Belgian contestant on Top Chef is Carlsbourg liquid butter’s ambassador. To sum up, Carlsbourg is really benefiting from the home cooking trend.
Butter and margarine is expected to decline at a value CAGR of 2% at constant 2017 price over the forecast period, which would be a slightly better performance than the one registered over the review period. Nevertheless, although butter is expected to increasingly be used in cooking, this growth is expected to be offset by the declining consumption of bread, and therefore the declining use of butter and margarine as a spread.
