PROSPECTS

Busy lifestyles affect butter and spreads

Sales of butter and spreads continue to be challenged by changing breakfast habits amongst consumers. Due to their increasingly hectic lifestyles, a growing number of consumers no longer have breakfast at home on work days, and instead either stop at a consumer foodservice outlet, especially coffee shops and street stalls/kiosks, or purchase something at the canteen/cafeteria at their workplace.

The Banting diet ensures the growth of butter

Players endeavoured to boost sales by focusing on flavour innovation and on marketing their products as healthier than alternatives, although there are arguments for and against the alleged health benefits of both butter and margarine. The Banting diet is proving increasingly popular in South Africa, with this diet plan advocating the consumption of fats.

Increasing unit prices impact consumer preferences

Margarine and spreads is the largest category within butter and spreads. Consumers tend to purchase margarine over butter because this product is more affordable in the country.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Unilever South Africa leads butter and spreads

Unilever South Africa maintained its strong lead in butter and spreads in value terms in 2018. Much of its success stems from the popularity of its leading Rama brand, whilst its Stork and Flora brands also continued to sell well, although Flora experienced a contraction in its share in 2018 compared with the previous year.

Private label remains a significant competitor

Private label held a strong double-digit share of value sales in butter and spreads in 2018. These products are cheaper than their branded alternatives and offer consumers acceptable quality.

Cape Oil & Margarine maintains second position in 2018

Cape Oil & Margarine accounted for a double-digit value share in butter and spreads in 2018. This can mainly be attributed to its brands which target lower-income consumers, Sunshine D and D’lite, which both held top 10 positions in butter and spreads in 2018.
