  8. Panorama of European markets

  9. Consumption slowdown • 2008-2009 saw a global slowdown of consumption: • Worrying global economic slowdown scaring consumers • Less competitiveness on the world market • Consumer concerned by their diet and health • Population getting older • A recent report by Mintel predicts a return of confidence • Consumers will be adapting to the new economy (moderation)

  10. The price of nearly all raw materials used by Caobisco industries reached a peak in 2008 due to a combination of factors: Low stock levels; Crop failures in major exporting countries (quotas, markets regulated by a few big producers (sugar) Fast-growing demand for agricultural crops to make biofuel; Oil prices Political instability and problems of production for cocoa Climate issues Unachieved reforms of agricultural sectors (sugar) Strong demand from fast growing economies like China or India

  11. The situation stabilised but remained worrying in particular now that the global food system is sensitive to external non-food economy events European food and drink exports dropped last year, reflecting a shrinking demand for most major food categories in foreign markets. Protectionist tendencies related to the global economic crisis as well as global price trends give some explanation for this drop. Processed goods such as bakery, confectionery and chocolate continue to contribute significantly to the positive EU trade balance. However, overall a negative trend in EU trade balance continues as the value of imports grows faster than the value of exports. EU exports to the majority of emerging countries continue to grow, in particular for Ukraine and Hong Kong. In terms of imports, products from Brazil, Argentina and China, together represent nearly 30 per cent of total EU food and drink imports. Meanwhile, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia provide Europe with products worth as much as the joint value of the imports from traditional producers, such as USA and Switzerland.”

  12. Other challenges for Caobisco industries • CAOBISCO products are under the spotlights for many different reasons: • Fight against child labour in cocoa farms • Cocoa sustainability • Lot of new regulations (claims, fortification, food information to consumers) • Additives, colours, … • Contaminants and residues (acrylamide, process contaminants…), pesticides (cadmium, Lead, Dioxins, Lindane…) • Food safety (traceability, safety of ingredients, code of hygiene, GMOs)

  13. Trends • Given the global crisis and the hard times they have gone through, consumers will adapt to the new economic situation and buy differently: More promotions, less luxuries • Consumers now require transparency and ethical responsibility. They expect a real engagement from their favourite brands (origin cocoas, fair-trade...) • Health & wellness : food is becoming more functional and has to bring a real added-value to consumers (Reformulation, Innovation) • Tastes are evolving : Exotic flavors (fruits, spices…); high cocoa content chocolates;

  14. Panorama of the U.S. market

  15. Caobisco is a Member of the International Confectionery Association. It brings together the interests of the global confectionery industry and represents and promotes these interests internationally. ICA facilitates, coordinates and communicates international scientific, regulatory and public affairs information while promoting and representing the interests of the confectionery industry in a collaborative and responsible manner. • The ICA member associations collectively represent over 3000 companies in over 30 countries world-wide that manufacture chocolate and non-chocolate confectionery or are suppliers of ingredients, machinery, packaging materials and services to the industry. It is estimated that together these countries manufacture over 70% of the confectionery produced in the world. ICA

  16. More private label chocolates • Upscale private label/gourmet packaging • Mass brands introducing more dark chocolate items • Exotic chocolate flavorings: citrus, spice, salt, fruits • High cocoa content chocolates • Gourmet packaging for chocolates US Confectionery Trends
