PROSPECTS

Domestic demand for butter is on the rise

Butter remains a mature category in France as the country has high per capita consumption and is a top producer. The ingredient is vital for much French cuisine, with consumers being positive about its authentic taste, which is associated with pleasure.

Volatility in world milk prices negatively impacts butter consumption in France

After the EU milk production quotas were lifted in 2015, a high level of collected milk was recorded in 2016, impacting negatively on prices. Farmers were then hit by a period of low milk prices and several of them were forced to stop their production of milk.

Margarine and spreads and cooking fats are less appreciated by consumers

Margarine and spreads and cooking fats are in a structural decline and have lost ground. Margarine and spreads suffers from a perceived lack of naturalness among consumers and from the negative reputation of palm oil, the production of which is associated with ecological scandals.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Competition triggers innovation and product segmentation

Butter and spreads is a competitive category with several manufacturers engaged in positive product innovations, especially in niche segments such as butter created in a traditional mould, as well as raw and other butter certified with a protected designation of origin. Groupe Lactalis ranked first in 2018, using a premiumisation strategy for its flagship brand Président.

Private label and economy butter decline owing to supply shortages

Private label accounts for a significant value share of butter in France and is represented by major retailers. These retailers operate in a consolidated environment, which allows them to largely influence prices, which are set once a year during a period of commercial negotiations strictly shaped by the government.

Margarine is abandoned by leading players

In contrast with butter, the competitive landscape in margarine and spreads is highly consolidated, with the three leading players accounting for the vast majority of value sales in 2018. The main global strategy used in 2017 and 2018 was the removal of palm oil from margarine brands.
