COVID-19 impact on packaged food
On 15 March 2020, the Dutch government announced additional measures against the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country, including the closure of foodservice outlets, save for takeaway and delivery services. This measure was prolonged until 1 June 2020, although subsequent restrictions were imposed as the government faced upturns in the numbers of infections, especially in October-November 2020.
COVID-19 country impact
Within the Netherlands, large gatherings were banned on 12 March 2020. From Sunday 15 March, all food and drink establishments were closed, followed by schools a day later, albeit with some remaining open to the children of healthcare and emergency service workers.
Company response
Private label remains a very strong presence in the highly fragmented competitive landscape of packaged food in the Netherlands. The top two leading players, private label retailers Albert Heijn and Jumbo Supermarkten, are expected to register retail value share growth over 2020 as a whole, while the multinational branded manufacturers in third- and fourth-place, respectively, Royal FrieslandCampina and Unilever Nederland, are set to see their shares dip slightly.
Retailing shift
Supermarkets, strongly supported by the high demand for private label, is expected to continue to dominate retail value sales of packaged food over 2020 as a whole. Leading chained supermarket operators like Albert Heijn and Jumbo Supermarkten successfully offer flexible private label lines that respond to changing consumer demands, such as for plant-based and other health-orientated products.
Foodservice vs retail split
As in other Western European markets, COVID-19 has had a dramatic impact on the foodservice-retail split in packaged food in the Netherlands. The Dutch government’s measures to cope with the spread of COVID-19 included the closure of foodservice outlets, except takeaway and delivery services, in mid-March 2020.
What next for packaged food?
The overall demand for packaged food in the Netherlands is projected to grow steadily, if modestly, over the forecast period. A slight dip is anticipated in retail volume sales in 2021, following the significantly higher growth anticipated over 2020 as a whole, compared with 2018 and 2019, as stockpiling and the home-cooking and home-baking trends leave households stocked with some product types.

FOODSERVICE
Sales to Foodservice
Sales to foodservice fall sharply as the COVID-19 lockdown leads to the closure of foodservice establishments from mid-March-June, with further restrictions on operations emerging through the year
Campaigns for the transition to a mainly plant-based diet and the rising number of vegetarian/vegan restaurants offer newer growth avenues for food suppliers
Food supply and health and traceability concerns foster a growing emphasis on locally produced packaged food
Consumer Foodservice
Lockdown closures and restrictions lead to sharp sales declines in consumer foodservice, with many outlets forced to shut down
Home food preparation trend set to prove robust as consumers continue to embrace home-centred lifestyles in an uncertain environment
Growing popularity of ethnic and international cuisines offers new, less tapped or wider growth avenues for consumer foodservice in a shrinking landscape
