Additional levels of segmentation and more-rational purchasing decisions characterise the 2017 performance

As the competitive dynamics within packaged food continue to rise in Costa Rica, the development of additional levels of segmentation capable of reaching a polarising base of low- and high-end consumers continued to characterise the performance of packaged food in 2017. The prevalent low inflation and exchange rate also helped to strengthen more-rational purchasing decisions and additional price-based competition amongst a broader range of mid-income consumers.

Private label and directly imported brands gain additional momentum

As a result of the rising competitive pressure driven by the further expansion of modern and traditional grocery retailers, price-based competition and discounts continued to be major trends within packaged food in Costa Rica during 2017. As a result, the main grocery retailers in the country opted to increase their profit margins and competitive capacities by increasing the positioning they gave to their own lines of imported products (such as in the case of Walmart and Automercado).

Competition dynamics continue to rise within packaged food, while unit prices post modest updates

The local competitive environment continued to favour the role of modern grocery retailers as major benchmark references in terms of packaged food unit prices, mostly due to the rising presence of directly imported brands and private label amongst a wider base of local consumers from all socioeconomic groups. In such a context, most packaged food players reduced their profit margins, not being able to adopt their usual yearly price updates due to the risk of losing sales to more-affordable proposals, which also tend to benefit from additional trade market advantages and their point-of-sale presence.

Modern channels set the pace, while traditional outlets hold their ground

While modern grocery outlets continued to maintain strong growth based on new outlet openings and the further penetration of their own imported brands and private label proposals, the response of the main traditional grocery outlets continued alongside the rising presence of Chinese mini-supermarkets across the country. The economies-of-scale concept that is behind the value offered by modern grocery outlets has also been adopted by most Chinese grocery retailers.

Further segmentation and polarisation expected over the forecast period

While the demand for more-affordable value proposals is set to continue to increase over the forecast period, the adoption of additional levels of product segmentation will characterise the further development of most categories of packaged food in Costa Rica. Within such an environment, the development of added-value proposals will continue alongside the further availability of economic alternatives targeted at lower-end buyers.
