PROSPECTS

Stable supply supports butter growth

Butter remained the only area of butter and spreads to see positive growth in 2019. Growth was supported by a stable butter supply.

Margarine struggling due to unhealthy image of trans fatty acids

The unhealthy image of trans fatty acids continued to have a negative impact on sales of margarine at the end of the review period. Trans fatty acids are commonly found in margarine, as well as other food products, and manufacturers have identified this as a key issue, putting greater effort into earning the trust of consumers.

Manufacturers look to innovation to expand consumer base

With the butter and spreads category suffering ongoing decline, it is seeing manufacturers increasingly look to innovation in terms of flavour and target age groups to generate growth. More and more companies are trying to strengthen their product lines for spreads, introducing products such as sweetened spreads and spreadable butter.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Megmilk Snow Brand builds on dairy strength through communication and innovation

Megmilk Snow Brand remains the largest player in butter and spreads in Japan thanks to its strong presence in the dairy industry. The company has identified consumer distrust of trans fatty acids as the most important issue affecting margarine and put greater effort into earning consumers’ trust.

Meiji pioneering spreadable butter

Megmilk Snow Brand is not the only major butter and spreads player looking to expand its consumer base and generate growth through innovation. Innovation also played a part in the share growth of Meiji, the second largest player in the category, towards the end of the review period.

Fermented butter gaining in popularity

Traditionally, non-fermented butter has been the norm in Japan. However, in recent years, fermented butter, a type of butter common in Europe, has become increasingly available in Japanese stores.
