  2. Today’s presentation • Market drivers • Market size • Market segmentation • Consumer typologies • Supply & distribution • New claims • Advertising & promotion • Main trends • New product introductions • The future

  3. Market drivers • Heightened consumer interest in healthy eating and nutrition = consumers more receptive to the organic movement • Government support for organic expansion (Organic Entry Level Stewardship Payments) • Increased emphasis on local/domestic produce - greater awareness of food miles • Further promotion of an organic lifestyle beyond food & drink: e.g. clothing, toiletries • Close association between organic and fair trade (growing by 50% year on year)

  4. Market Size • 2000-04 the market increased by 74% • A further 12% growth is expected in 2005 • Fruit & vegetables account for 38% of sales • Sales growth in most categories growing faster than non-organic counterparts Source: Mintel

  5. Market Segmentation • Dairy overtakes prepared foods in 2005 • Organic poultry enjoys growth impetus • In growth terms the overall market is closely aligned with the organic fruit & veg sector Source: Mintel

  6. Consumer Typologies Reticents: more men than women, under 35s, AB/ABC1 families with kids aged 5-15. Read broadsheets and use the Internet. Taste is important, they will pay a premium, but need convincing why they should buy organic. Dismissives: Retired DEs. Read popular tabloids and watch TV 5+ hours/day. View organic as overpriced, high level of disinterest. Price Deterred: ABC1 families. Target via mid-market tabloids and in-store promotions. Too expensive- would buy more if cheaper – need to understand difference between organic and ‘natural’. Safers: ABC1 families with young children or third agers. Target via mid-market tabloids and broadsheets. Costs are a key consideration although this group will turn to organic produce when food safety issues are under scrutiny eg BSE. Fans: more women than men, 55-64s, ABs. Target via broadsheets and women’s lifestyle magazines. Health is a priority but superior taste and food safety is also important. Lack of availability biggest deterrent.

  7. Supply • In the UK, by April 2004, around 3.7% of total agricultural land were fully organic, representing an increase of 37.4% from April 2002 • Under-supply in certain areas (i.e. dairy), increased dependence on imported goods • The number of licensed organic food processors increased by around 1% between April 2003 and 2004 • Sectors such as vegetables, fruit and meat are highly fragmented; while others such as dairy and eggs are dominated by a small number of large suppliers • The involvement of large companies has had a positive impact on the market, as they can more easily gain listings with the major multiples and have larger advertising and promotional budgets • The leading retailers also play a significant role, both with their own organic ranges, and in their levels of commitment to the organic movement as a whole

  8. Distribution • 2002-04 multiples’ share shows slight decline • Committed organic consumers switching to farmers markets and organic box schemes? • Concern over food miles Source: Mintel

  9. Organic claims • In May 2005, Committee of Advertising Practice approves 22 organic claims for use in the promotion of organic produce: • “No system of farming has higher levels of animal welfare standards than organic farms working to Soil Association standards” • “No food has higher amounts of beneficial minerals, essential amino acids and vitamins than organic food” • “The best method of reducing exposure to potentially harmful pesticides would be to consume organically grown food, where their use is avoided” • “Eating organic food allows people to avoid hydrogenated fats completely”

  10. Advertising expenditure • Above-the-line spend stood at less than £1.8m in 2004 - less than 0.2% sales • Two-thirds invested in press media • Yeo Valley tops tables in 2004 , followed by Cow and Gate, and Unilever’s Go Organic Source: Nielsen Media Research//Mintel

  22. The Future • Advertising and promotion should become more clear and consistent, with the new approved claims • Ethical and food safety issues remain important but mainstream trends such as healthy eating, premiumisation and convenience will influence NPD and product positioning • The market is wide open for new entrants; innovation in NPD is coming from the pre-packaged/prepared foods sector, which appeals to the convenience-driven consumer • Locally sourced produce is becoming more high profile • Natural or “free-from” products are to some extent clouding the issue; as are varying levels of organic status (organic and all natural/organic and free-from) • The industry needs to decide whether it wants to be associated with this end of the spectrum or to stand apart • In-store location is critical: more than half of UK consumers don’t seek out organic foods, so don’t merchandise them in isolation!
