PROSPECTS

Snackification develops further in cheese

Similar to previous years, Canadian consumers, especially the younger generation, shifted from regular meals to a mixture of meals and snacks in 2017-2018. Meanwhile, as consumers are leading increasingly busy lives, demand for on-the-go consumption and convenience in terms of time, energy and the skills needed for food preparation is on the rise.

Rising demand for healthier and less processed offerings impacts cheese

Backed by the health-conscious younger generation and the ageing population, the health-conscious culture continues to rise in Canada, significantly impacting consumer choices in food and beverages. In cheese, processed cheese is being negatively impacted, whilst natural cheese, including packaged and unpackaged hard cheese and soft cheese, has a much better perception.

The increase in the average unit price slows down

There was a deflationary price trend for cheese and other dairy products over 2017-2018, mostly driven by stable production and weakening demand, following inflation in prior years. Also contributing to the slowdown in the increase in the average unit price of cheese was the growth in imports of European cheeses, as a result of the implementation of the Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada, the European Union and its member states.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Saputo continues to lead cheese

Saputo was one of the three largest dairy producers in Canada in 2018. Along with two other large dairy producers, namely Agropur Cooperative and Parmalat Canada, as well as Kraft Heinz Canada, four players account for most value sales of cheese in the country.

New product development

Kraft Heinz Canada experienced challenges in 2017, after the merger between Kraft Canada and Heinz Canada in 2015. This was particularly the case in cheese, due to distribution issues, and it was slow to recoup the benefits from synergies.

Smaller players focus on artisanal and healthy products

Despite the stronghold 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. Examples include: The Laughing Cow from France-based Groupe Bel, which features high-quality ingredients and received considerable marketing support; the Ivanhoe brand of goat cheese from Ontario-based Gay Lea Foods, which rides on the wave of the increasing popularity of goat milk; and the Non-GMO Project Verified cheese from Manitoba-based Bothwell Cheese, launched in 2017.
