PROSPECTS

Widening consumption occasions driving new product developments

As in previous years, Canadian consumers, especially the younger generation, are shifting from regular meals to a mixture of meals and snacks. In addition, with consumers leading increasingly busy lives, demand for on-the-go consumption and convenience are on the rise.

Increasing presence of health-conscious and dairy-free products

Growing health consciousness continues to impact consumer choices in food and beverages in Canada. In cheese, processed cheese is being negatively impacted by this trend, while natural cheese, including packaged and unpackaged hard cheese and soft cheese, has a much better perception among consumers.

More imports from EU and NAFTA countries and updated Food Guide from Health Canada

In Health Canada’s latest Food Guide, it no longer stresses the importance of dairy in consumers’ daily diet. The guide has seen the removal of a recommended “daily dose of dairy” and, instead, concentrates very much on consumers eating a variety of unprocessed products, stressing the importance of plant-based protein foods, but no longer talking in terms of general food groups, such as dairy.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Leader Saputo snaps up Shepherd Gourmet Dairy in Ontario

Between them, Saputo, Agropur Cooperative, Parmalat Canada and Kraft Heinz Canada account for well over three quarters of retail value sales of cheese in the country. In 2018, leading player Saputo acquired Shepherd Gourmet Dairy, which manufactures, markets and distributes speciality cheeses, yoghurt and skyr-style products at its production facility in St Marys, Ontario.

Parmalat takes over the natural cheese operations of Kraft Heinz Canada

In late 2018, it was announced that Parmalat Canada would be acquiring Kraft Heinz Canada’s natural cheese business, including the three major brands Cracker Barrel, P’tit Quebec and aMOOza! The deal was completed in mid-2019, boosting Parmalat’s profile in natural cheese, which is growing faster than cheese as a whole. It also moved Parmalat into third place in cheese, overtaking Kraft Heinz, leaving it only just behind second-placed Agropur.

Niche players are launching interesting new products such as nut-based cheese

Despite the strong position of the top four players in cheese, relatively smaller players and brands are nevertheless flourishing in niches such as artisanal cheese and health and wellness cheese, including lactose-free and organic. Emerging niches include nut-based cheeses, for example Fauxmagerie Zengarry’s award-winning vegan cheeses made using cashew nuts and no artificial colours or flavours, or coconut-based cheeses (Sheese).
