Posted on: Friday, 26 October 2007, 12:00 CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c72794) has announced the addition of Global Market Review Of Indulgence Foods -- Forecasts to 2013 to their offering.
The indulgent food market now embodies much more than the products traditionally regarded as 'treat' items such as confectionery, cakes and biscuits. The indulgence trend has widened, in line with changing consumer demands, to encompass premium, gourmet, fine and speciality foods.
The rate of new product development (NPD) in these sectors has risen rapidly in recent years, as time-pressured, stressed, and tired consumers seek pleasure, relaxation and self-reward through certain food and drink products. Consumer awareness of nutrition has also resulted in a raft of new healthy indulgence products.
People are becoming more self-indulgent in their eating and drinking habits, which have created marketing and NPD opportunities for food manufacturers, suppliers and retailers. The self-reward culture is prevalent, and will continue to grow worldwide over the next five years, as consumers balance healthy eating habits with the occasional treat.
This second edition report investigates the indulgent, speciality and premium food markets; three growing sectors that tap into the major trends influencing consumer purchase decisions in the 21st century. The report focuses on trends, drivers, innovation and marketing within these sectors, with forecasts to 2013 and considerations for brand owners also provided.
Chapter 1 provides an introduction to indulgent, premium and speciality food, including definitions, product attributes and combining the three sectors to create an exclusive brand.
Chapter 2 looks at building successful indulgent, premium and speciality food brands, including retailer-led promotions, celebrity endorsements, targeting children and changing target audience and/or product positioning.
Chapter 3 focuses on the healthy indulgent food market, including product attributes, trends driving the market, portion control, virtuous ingredients, indulgent flavours and new product development highlights. This chapter also offers a best-practice case study of the Greencore's Pudz brand.
Chapter 4 considers trends such as sustainability and ethical consumerism, provenance and authenticity, and drivers such as cash-rich time-poor consumers, increasing obesity levels and the rise of the premium retailer. This chapter also includes a best practice case study of the UK-based premium chocolate retailer Montezuma's.
Chapter 5 analyses the market values of speciality foods and healthy indulgent foods to 2013, and predicts premium food and drink consumption to 2013. It also investigates two categories that are commonly associated with indulgence, premiumisation and speciality food producers: confectionery, and bakery and cereals.
Chapter 6 identifies five top strategies for consideration by manufacturers and retailers in the premium and indulgent food market.
