THE GLOBAL MARKET FOR FOOD AND BEVERAGE INGREDIENTS

EMERGING MARKETS
CATEGORY ANALYSIS ONES TO WATCH

INTRODUCTION

Scope (1)
This report looks at trends in ingredients use by the packaged food and
beverage industries and highlights the importance of emerging markets in driving this category. It starts by discussing the major supply and demand drivers within the ingredients industry before giving a statistical global and regional analysis of sales. It then looks in more detail at market sizes, trends and recent developments in 15 individual ingredients categories, before pinpointing a few key categories to watch in the coming years.
Disclaimer Much of the information in this briefing is of a statistical nature and, while every attempt has been made to ensure accuracy and reliability, Euromonitor International cannot be held responsible for omissions or errors. Figures in tables and analyses are calculated from unrounded data and may not sum. Analyses found in the briefings may not totally reflect the companies opinions, reader discretion is advised.

The emphasis is on added-value or speciality ingredients rather than bulk


commodities. These added-value ingredients are defined as those that are designed and used with a specific benefit in mind, including benefits at both production and consumer level. This covers ingredients that food and beverage manufacturers add to the products core recipe in order to improve taste and texture, to extend shelf life, to enhance healthiness or to improve the image of a finished food (eg giving a natural or ethical profile or delivering a more sophisticated or indulgent image). As a result, it excludes many popular bulk commodities such as sugar, corn sweeteners, flours and basic fats and oils, but includes areas such as cocoa ingredients and botanicals, which are often seen as commodities but which are available in more added-value formats for natural, indulgent and ethical end-products. A full breakdown of category coverage is presented on the next slide.

Supplying ingredients to the global food and beverage industry remains something of a balancing act as ingredients firms respond to multiple trends and influences. This report assesses the most important industry drivers, provides an overview of the market and highlights trends in 15 key added-value ingredients categories. At the same time, it aims the spotlight on the emerging markets and demonstrates just how important these will be to ingredients suppliers in the coming years.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND DRIVERS

Supply: Economic challenges and opportunities


Continuing economic strife in certain parts of the world is presenting several challenges to food and beverage suppliers. For example, higher energy and raw material prices continue to impact the industrys production costs so manufacturers are constantly seeking ways to cut spending, while the availability of low-cost ingredients supply from the developing world has also become a key issue in many categories. While some companies have established their own production capability in developing markets so as to compete on a more level playing field with low-cost suppliers, other Western ingredients firms have decided to exit more affected categories entirely so as to concentrate on added-value ingredients and complete solutions, using their expertise in a wider range of ingredients to build application-specific blends for their customers. As well as helping product formulators to cut their R&D investment, such blends are also positioned as being more cost effective than purchasing a series of single ingredients. Meanwhile, substitution of one ingredient with another can also help to cut costs and there is a growing focus on ingredients that have more constant price positioning as a way to avoid any severe fluctuations.

Challenges
Higher raw material and energy costs

Competition from low-cost ingredients from the developing world

Opportunities
More application-specific blends and tailor-made ingredients

Supply: Twin approach to sustainability


Sustainability has become one of the most important issues throughout industry. For many years, economic growth was tied to environmental degradation but industry is now trying to decouple these two ideas and has accepted that the health of the environment is crucial for global economic survival. Such is the importance of this issue that virtually all major ingredients suppliers have sustainability strategies in place. In general, the ingredients industry has taken a twin approach to sustainability: looking both at ways to operate their own businesses more sustainably; and at ways to help their customers to do so.

Sustainability
Inside the ingredients business Helping customers

Manage resources responsibly, seek out new renewable raw materials

Reduce carbon footprint and minimise impact on the environment

Deliver ingredients to help reduce processing times or energy/water usage

Deliver ingredients with good all-round sustainability credentials

Supply: Natural is very much the buzzword


Interest in natural products has never been higher in fmcg markets and this is discussed further as a demand driver in a later slide. It must be noted here, though, that this demand for more natural ingredients to replace chemicals and other more highly-processed ingredients is closely tied to the sustainability issue and the exploitation of renewable raw materials. The R&D divisions of the worlds leading ingredients firms are very much focusing their attention on how best to exploit natural resources and this must remain at the forefront of corporate strategies going forward. Western markets are particularly driven by this theme and will likely be the first to experience the latest offerings that ingredient companies can draw from the natural world.

Significant demand for natural ingredients

R&D focused on best ways to exploit natural resources

but rising competition for natural raw materials

However, there is a flip side to this issue in that ingredients companies are no longer the sole customers for the worlds natural resources. For example, common cereals, oilseeds and gums are seeing growing demand from other areas of industry, including the fuel, mining and oil drilling industries. Meanwhile, foodand beverage-grade ingredients are also forging a market for themselves in the personal and home care categories.

Supply: The natural paradox of GM


Genetically modified (or biotech) crops are certainly paradoxical as far as natural ingredients development is concerned. The need for more natural raw materials is expanding all the time - not only in terms of delivering natural ingredients but in supplying enough ingredients overall to satisfy global nutrition needs. However, while GM crops can help to satisfy this need by allowing more efficient production of renewable resources, they are produced in a manner that many consider entirely unnatural and some still see GM as a dangerous threat to nature and potentially to human health. Its use adds further complexity to the debate over what is defined as natural and will inevitably muddy the waters as and when legislation catches up to the natural wave. While GM crop areas are expanding all the time, some parts of the world are still very resistant to the issue (most notably Europe), while even in North America, non-GM logos are now featuring widely on finished food and beverages in order to satisfy the significant consumer group still sceptical of the issue. GM crop coverage is expanding all the time but demand for non-GM products is also rising and certification is emerging

Supply: Ingredient advances require strong R&D investment


Innovation remains critical to the long-term success of the food and beverage ingredients market, particularly in developed markets, as there is pressure on suppliers to help their customers deliver more healthy and high-quality products to the public. Key themes in innovation include health and naturalness, flavour and the taste experience, advances in ingredient delivery, convenient formulations and compliance with regulation. To satisfy industry needs, many ingredients firms invest fairly large sums in R&D so as to deliver better and better ingredient options to their customers. However, levels of R&D expenditure vary from company to company, being highest among those focused on more technical ingredients and lowest among those with commodity interests. For example, more commodity-orientated ADM spends just 0.1% of its total revenue on R&D, compared with as much as 9.5% for large flavour houses such as Givaudan.

Supply: End-use markets slowly consolidate


Consolidation in the food and beverage industries has increased pressure on ingredients firms to maintain good relationships with the worlds leading multinational businesses. The soft drinks and alcoholic drinks categories are particularly concentrated, with the top 10 companies accounting for around half of total sales in these markets. Packaged food is more fragmented, with the top 10 representing almost 16%, but this is up from under 15% in 2008 as the industry gradually consolidates.

Supply: Regional spread is essential to target large multinationals

Multinational customers in end-use markets

Ingredients suppliers must operate globally

but understanding of local needs is also crucial

The larger, multinational food and beverage businesses are seeing an ever-increasing focus on globalisation, with some claiming product availability in up to 200 or more countries worldwide, while the very largest operate their own production and/or sales offices in as many as 100 countries or more. As a result, many manufacturers are looking for more global ingredients delivery, valuing the convenience of a one-stop shop for their international ingredients needs. However, at the same time, they will be highly aware of regional tastes and requirements so ingredients firms must be ready to satisfy specific demands driven by specific local needs and a local presence on the ground can be a significant benefit in this regard.

Demand: Health and wellness remains an overriding theme


Health and wellness is still perhaps the single most important theme in food and beverage NPD but takes many, many forms, some of which are also closely tied into the development of more natural options. In fact, the naturally healthy food and beverages category is the largest of all the health and wellness markets, worth around US$300 billion worldwide in 2013. Of the three largest health and wellness categories assessed by Euromonitor International, fastest growth over 2013-2018 is forecast to come from fortified/functional and naturally healthy products, which are taking over from more basic better for you food and beverages as the key health and wellness areas for the future.

Demand: Naturalness/clean label is the driver of the moment


The Back to Nature theme has become one of the single most important drivers in international fmcg markets in recent times, particularly in the countries of the developed world. This trend has been closely related to the resurgence of organics, but in general, it is the amalgamation of numerous concerns and interests in modern society. While many environmental factors weigh into the drive towards natural food and beverages, there is perhaps just as much of a consumer focus on lifestyle issues and the image of natural products. In general, products sourced directly from nature are perceived to be healthier and of better quality than more highly processed products. At the same time, the economic crisis has reminded many consumers of the benefits of going back to basics, with home-made products often proving cheaper as well as delivering a sense of nostalgia and comfort, ie like mother used to make. Meanwhile, as far as cleaning up product labels is concerned, there is not only a growing focus on natural over synthetic ingredients but also on the number of ingredients featured, and a less is more approach is increasingly common.

Regional background and ingredient focus


Emerging regions AP and MEA Rising demand for all types of food and beverages, prompted by population growth, increased urbanisation and rising incomes. Greater diversity; rising interest in highly-processed, convenient and sophisticated products. Second-tier region LA Settled between the emerging and developed worlds in terms of forecast growth. Heavily influenced by trends in North America; seeing growing demand for more added-value speciality concepts. Developed regions NA, WE, AU and EE Projected only slow growth, but these mature markets cannot be overlooked as they consume large volumes of finished products and drive NPD. In order to generate growth, there is a strong focus on innovation.

Growing need for all types of ingredients, including commodities, but with a steady move towards more addedvalue and speciality products as markets continue to evolve.

As markets continue to mature, it is likely that the best prospects for future growth will lie in the more added-value ingredient categories, although basic commodities will continue to benefit from overall volume increases.

Ingredients supply should focus on added value and innovation. Naturalness has also become an overriding theme in recent times and is likely to continue to drive ingredient development and demands.

Global need for naturals

464,289 tonnes in 2012 +1.3% CAGR 2007-2012

The drive towards natural ingredients began with natural flavours and colours and colours remain at the forefront of naturals development in all parts of the world. More colouring foodstuffs Colouring foodstuffs are very much the story of the day and are increasingly taking the place of colour compounds. They can appear on product labels as vegetable extracts, juices, spices, etc, so they can help to clean up ingredients lists. They can be a lot less stable than ready-made colour compounds, however, so there is growing need for technical improvements. In addition, their use has led to corresponding growth in demand for more natural stabilisers and emulsifiers. Strict legislation Colours are more affected by legislative intervention than many other ingredients and some synthetics are outlawed completely in certain countries. There are also calls for greater regulation of colouring foodstuffs, which could impact on this thriving sector.

While some fats and oils are attracting the wrong kind of attention, there are also a number of shining lights in this arena. Stanol/sterol esters are still being used in a range of cholesterollowering products, but it is omega-3 fatty acids that have really stood out in recent times, driven by a natural image associated with their marine sourcing and growing consumer awareness of their potential health benefits. Tapping new sources Marine raw materials, ie fish and algae, remain the most important sources of omega-3 fatty acids but interest in shortchain omega-3s from plants is increasing all the time and greater attention is being paid to exploitation of new plant sources. In addition, there are a number of other speciality oils that are finding favour in health and wellness applications, such as the weight loss ingredient conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Challenge of fats image While certain fat derivatives have managed to establish themselves in the health and wellness arena, the healthy eating drive poses many challenges for the wider fats market as fat has a generally poor health image among consumers.

Sweeteners (polyols)
Sugar-free and low-calorie still important

702,533 tonnes in 2012 +2.1% CAGR 2007-2012

Within the health and wellness market, sugar and calorie reduction remain significant issues in the modern world as obesity continues to be a leading cause of illness and death. As a result, there is assured demand for sweetening ingredients that can contribute to lower calorie counts. But naturalness is impacting across the board However, there is a concerted trend towards more natural food and beverages and this is affecting the choice of sweetener, with natural sweeteners such as stevia performing well, while other suppliers are shifting away from HFCS and returning to basic sugars and syrups. Polyol sweeteners may be affected by this, although some make natural claims of their own, eg erythritol, which is widely blended with stevia in tabletop products. Reduced-calorie naturals vs calorie-free Although calorie control remains important to consumers, their approach to this issue is changing. Completely calorie-free products remain popular and many still rely heavily on polyols. However, the advent of stevia has led to a new focus on natural products with reduced- rather than zero-calorie contents, often using sweetener blends combining stevia with natural bulk sweeteners such as sucrose or erythritol.

Algal ingredients
This review of trends and developments impacting specific ingredients has mentioned a number of key areas that are believed to be ripe for future expansion. One which could be of particular interest in the coming years is the algal ingredients category. Given the worlds focus on sustainability, this certainly appears to be an area apt for further investment as algal ingredients can target many different applications and needs and could also be among the most sustainable of all the worlds natural resources. Diverse opportunities The food industry already uses seaweed-based hydrocolloids, such as carrageenan and alginates, while microalgae are important raw materials for omega-3s and spirulina (a cyanobacteria) is becoming important as a natural colour. However, there is believed to be significant scope for further diversification in algal products (particularly from microalgae), including opportunities in oils, flours and proteins as well as functional food ingredients. Multiple health benefits There are believed to be many opportunities for algal ingredients in functional and healthy foods, with suggestions that algae can play a role in anti-inflammatory and antiobesity health functions, as well as helping to reduce cholesterol, lower blood pressure, manage blood sugar levels and contribute to skin health. Sustainability credentials Microalgae in particular have vast sustainability credentials. They do not need fertilisers, feeding mainly on sunlight and waste carbon dioxide, so they can be carbon neutral or even negative. They also release more oxygen than other plants. Thriving in dry and hot weather, microalgae can also be grown on land that is otherwise unsuitable for agriculture, while compared with other crops, algaculture uses less land area for higher yields.

New-generation flours and proteins


Free from trend drives wheat flour alternatives Although widely considered as commodities, flours warrant a mention here owing to several key trends impacting on usage. The move towards gluten-free products and the associated shift away from wheat flour has been particularly significant. As well as core bakery markets, this is also affecting other areas, such as snack foods, with North America having seen high levels of non-wheat NPD in recent years, with rice and bean flours finding favour in everyday natural and healthy snacks as well as gluten-free options. Also allied to the free from trend is the growth in non-dairy milks and plant-based flours are key to these formulations. In line with these trends, the industry is looking to tap new, relatively unexploited plant sources for the next generation of flour ingredients. For example, algal flour is now offered by Roquette, while there has been ongoing research into peanut flour and its suitability for use in dry beverage applications. Protein health trend drives ingredient innovation As highlighted in the analysis of protein trends in an earlier slide, most proteins are still used for textural purposes but there is a growing focus on their role in health and wellness. This has raised the importance of protein ingredients as a whole and is driving ingredient innovators to explore new opportunities in this area. While dairy and soya are the most important sources of protein ingredients, the market is steadily diversifying as more plant sources are tapped. Pea protein has been a pioneer in new-generation plant proteins and could well be followed into commercial success by rice, potato and flax proteins.

Meanwhile, algae are again seen to have something to offer in this regard and some companies are already exploring development of algal proteins.

Natural sweeteners
There are numerous botanicals that are attracting the attention of the edible ingredients industry and many will make their presence felt in the coming years. Sweetening is perhaps the most interesting area given the impact stevia had on its arrival in Western markets and the subsequent launch of monk fruit extract. There are several other plant extracts that are being investigated as potential sweeteners for the future, although none have yet been approved for use in major markets. These include Aztec sweet herb, which contains a sweet compound called hernandulcin and has been used historically as a natural sweetener and medicinal herb in Mexico and Central America. In China, the wheel wingnut tree has been used in traditional medicines and contains glycosides that are 50-100 times sweeter than sugar. Soap nut is also being explored as a sweetener in China and Japan, while the miraculin component of miracle berry is also being used in Japan as it can change the perception of taste and deliver a sweet taste to sour or acidic foods.

One of the more unusual suggestions for the future of sweetening is that it could lie in the insect world. A certain variety of psyllid insect found mainly in Australia secretes something called a lerp, which is sweet to the taste and popular with local birds. However, although entirely natural, it may be something of a stretch to convince the general public to eat a sweetener derived from insect secretions.
