Overall packaged food returns to a positive performance

Packaged food saw 1% retail current value growth in 2017, signifying a return to a positive performance after the minor setback witnessed the previous year. Looking ahead, the growth rate is expected to decelerate marginally year-on-year.

Innovation burnout witnessed in several categories, but developments seen in others

Whilst some categories within dairy, confectionery and ready meals continued to witness a wide range of new trends and a growing number of new product developments, other categories, including staple foods such as processed fruit and vegetables and rice, pasta and noodles, witnessed innovation burnout. This is a very important development to monitor, as it is indeed often the case that those packaged food categories with a high amount of innovation tend to be those that have the higher value growth rates.

Discounters now controls a record share in packaged food

The two German discounters Lidl and Aldi saw the largest increases in share over the last year, to the extent that Lidl has managed to overtake Waitrose and enter the UK’s top seven modern grocery retailers. During the financial crisis of 2007/2008 and the years that followed, discounters targeted lower-income shoppers with their uniquely low price points on packaged food.

Changing British lifestyles are having an impact on packaged food trends

As the housing crisis means that people commute from ever further distances, and inflation means that many are having to work more hours or even second jobs, people are leading more stressful lives than in the past, and packaged food is an arena where many of the consequences of this can be seen. Time is now very much of the essence, so for products such as ready meals and processed meat and fish, the time spent preparing these products is forecast to become an increasingly important selling point.

Brexit: Uncertainty lies ahead

The overall economic impact of Brexit on the UK economy remains difficult to call, with government plans and scheduling changing almost on a weekly basis. However, one can predict that if Brexit was to diminish the spending power of the British population, then it would be the food categories which tend to be more price-elastic which would be the ones to suffer the biggest losses; such categories include breakfast cereals, confectionery, processed meat and seafood and processed fruit and vegetables.
