Industry Overview and Demographics: Spain has made a huge progress on tobacco control in the recent years but people continue to die and become sick. The country does not make any effort to implement the tobacco control tools for its citizens’ wellbeing. Consumption of tobacco is injuring consumers’ health, the treasury, and the spirit of Spain. Almost every year, more than 58,000 of Spain’s population die due to by tobacco-caused disease. On the other hand, more than 75,000 children and 960,000 adults continue to use tobacco and its products on a daily basis. It was observed that the deaths due to tobacco boosts the tobacco industry in Spain and also ensures that tobacco's death toll grows every year.

More men and children smoke in Spain on average everyday and more men die compared to the other countries. The monetary cost of smoking in Spain amounts to 21 thousand million euros every year. The direct costs are related to healthcare expenditures and indirect costs are related to lost productivity due to early mortality and morbidity rates in Spain. The tobacco industry is a powerful force in Spain that does not fear any actions due to their extensive resources and global market power. Thousands of metric tons of tobacco is produced in Spain every year. More than 3 billion cigarettes are produced in Spain and cigarette imports exceeded cigarette exports in the country.

Advertisement Policies: Spain has banned all forms of direct and indirect advertising of cigarette on national TV, national radio, international TV, international radio, local magazines, newspapers, billboard, outdoor advertising, at point of sale and on advertising on internet.

Spain government has taken measures recently such that some brands such as Marlboro and Chesterfield will not increase their prices, therefore, reducing their margins and shaped the overall performance of the cigarette market. The Spanish authorities made strong efforts to control smuggled tobacco within the country which has led to a decline in the illicit cigarettes. Also, the Spanish authorities closed the largest illegal tobacco production plant in the year 2016. Consumers’ demand for illicit tobacco has witness a downtrend in the tobacco sales in Spain.

Future of Spain’s Cigarette Market and Leading Players: Philip Morris is the leading cigarette player with more active innovation profile in Spain than its competitor, Altadis.

Industry Overview: Herbs, spices and seasonings are various pungent, aromatic plant substances, dried berries such as cinnamon or clove or nutmeg used as whole or ground and added to food for zest and flavour. They also include all dried herbs but exclude fresh herbs, spices and seasonings. The variants in herbs, spices and seasonings are dried herbs, pepper, salt, salt substitutes, single & other spices, spice mixes. The major distribution channel of the herbs, spices and seasonings in Europe are hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, department stores, dollar stores, variety store, E-retailers, food specialists, health stores, beauty stores, and other general retailers. European consumers are spending less money and less time on preparing meals due to their busy schedules, also the number of single households is increasing rapidly. Consumers are opting for easy-to-prepare and ready-cooked meals that rely on spices and herbs to retain and enhance food flavour. Easy-to-prepare and ready-cooked meals utilize crushed or ground spices, ground herbs, spice mixtures and herb mixtures that are known as ready-to-use spices and herbs. Therefore, there is a demand for processed spices and herbs and the trend will continue over the next few years. Grinding and crushing with improved processing facilities and detection techniques has witnessed a continuing growth over a period of time.

Unhealthy food ingredients such as salt, sugar and synthetic additives are increasingly replaced by natural ingredients such as spices and herbs to promote healthy living. Consumers are expecting clean labelling and gluten-free labelling in the spices and herbs market. It was observed that there is huge demand for steam-sterilised spices and herbs in Europe because these products meet the strict requirements for microbiological contamination. Consumers earn a small premium, if they use steam sterilisation on spices and herbs.

Growing Demand for Herbs, Spices and Seasonings in Europe: The demand for herbs, spices and seasonings in European is increasing due to the health and wellness trends such as healthy living, interest in new tastes and convenience. European consumers are continuously looking for new suppliers due to high prices and scarcity of herbs, spices and seasonings. European herbs, spices and seasonings market majorly focuses on the special varieties, improved quality and sustainability. However, the new players should comply with strict requirements for quality, food safety and traceability to enter the European herbs, spices and seasonings market. It was observed that for a very long time, Europe imports spices and herbs from the developing countries which is a continuing growth. The maturity of the industrial sector has led to a slower than in other sectors, however, herbs, spices and seasonings market will continue to grow. Almost all the Europe’s herbs, spices and seasonings imports are from the developing countries which hold positive market conditions. Herbs, spices and seasonings market is volume-driven with high competition and low margins. The small and medium-sized enterprises have good opportunities in supplying the speciality spices and herbs that are available and traded in smaller volumes. The special varieties of herbs and spices are Mexican chillies and Tellicherry peppercorns. The vendors focus more on speciality product characteristics such as colour, taste, fineness and sustainability.

Growing Popularity of Ethnic Food in Europe: European consumers are demanding for ethnic food due to growing multicultural population within the country. Therefore, there is a huge demand for spices and herbs which are used in exotic cuisine. The popular flavours and tastes in the exotic cuisine are Chinese (pepper, ginger, anise), Indian food (curry, chillies, cardamom), Thai food (cassia cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg), and Vietnamese cuisine (ginger, chillies, fennel, pepper). The consumers are exploring new tastes by cooks and food manufacturers who ensure the market for herbs, spices and seasonings to grow continuously. Small, large, multinational food retailers and specialized brands are focused on ethnic foods coupled with herbs, spices and seasonings market. Smaller processors, retailers and specialised brands demand less of the herbs, spices and seasonings. Such outlets are less demanding in food safety, service and volume. They often import herbs, spices and seasonings from their home country and it is easy to connect with them. The ethnic food tastes vary by region, country and even consumers due to the use of different ingredients and mixes.

Increase in Prices of Herbs, Spices and Seasonings in Europe: It was observed that there is a trend of increasing prices of herbs, spices and seasonings in the European market due to increasing demand and less production. The country, Madagascar is the leading producer of vanilla and the European import prices of vanilla increased significantly over the recent years due to production problems. The future of herbs, spices and seasonings is questionable due to the supply and huge demand. New plantings of spices and herbs will not be able to satisfy the global demand and replenish the low supply levels. Cultivating spices and herbs is a solution to the scarcity problem and the young population is not interested in farming. Spices and herbs are minor but very important ingredients that contribute taste to the food. Europeans demand for herbs and spices is relatively high and unaffected by price changes.

Way Forward in Herbs, Spices and Seasonings in Europe: European requirements of quality, food safety and sustainability are the strictest in the world. Only a small share of the spice and herb are in compliant with European Union requirements. The increase in prices of herbs and spices has also increased fraud causing major concerns for European buyers. The country is continuously looking for suppliers who can meet the strictest requirements to establish long-term relationships along with reliable stock. Few suppliers work directly with farmers to avoid middlemen and such developments offer opportunities in the supply chain of herbs and spices. Europe herbs and spices consumers are attentive towards the responsibility for the social and environmental impact of the business. They are more concerned about child labour, healthy and safe working conditions, respecting labour laws, paying minimum wage and correct use of pesticides. All the herbs and spices leading players such as Unilever, Olam and Verstegen in Europe are collectively working on making the market more sustainable. European consumers are attracted towards convenience, health awareness, demand for ethnic foods and quality of product which tends drive the growth of herbs, spices and seasonings market in the next few years.

Evolution in Saudi Arabia Infrastructure Is Driving the Growth of Foodservice Sector: Ken Research

Posted on 01 December 2017 by KenResearch Food and Beverage ,

Saudi Arabian economy had a drastic impact with the fluctuating oil prices and government carried out major reforms to control consumers public spending. Inflation of petrol, introduced taxes and VAT on sugary drinks, energy drinks and tobacco and other wide range of products were a part of country’s economy downtrend. The food services industry consists of Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) channel and Full Service Restaurants (FSR) channel along with catering services. Full Service Restaurants (FSR) in Saudi Arabia is the leading channel with close to fifty percent share of profit in terms of sales. The coffee and tea shop channels in Saudi have a relatively small share in the Saudi Arabian food service market due to consumers opting for more energy beverages than coffee or tea. Quick Service Restaurants and Full Service Restaurants growth is very slow due to less transactions and lack of alcoholic beverage service. Saudi is not sufficiently developed in the restaurant alcoholic beverages service sector. The restaurants in Saudi Arabia are generally for broad occasions with family or friends. The food service companies are restaurants, fast food, cafés/bars, delivery and takeaway food service, and others food service. The leading foodservice companies in Saudi Arabia are Dine Equity, Domino's Pizza, Herfy, Kudu, Piatto, Maestro Pizza, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, The Savola Group, and Yum! Brands.

According to the study “Saudi Arabia-The Future of Foodservice to 2021”, many foodservices are introducing a wide range of healthy and nutritious meals in their food menu attracting more health conscious consumers. These foodservice chains offer half or full-size salads containing fresh vegetables. There is a stiff competition among the foodservice providers based on pricing, product quality and packaging innovation, quality of food, service, menu variation, and calories intake per meals. The improved living standards, increased disposable incomes, and altered customer lifestyles in Saudi Arabia are the major factors driving the growth of the food service market.

Catering services is another major sector in the foodservice market. The major end users of the catering services are Industrial/Construction, Hospitality, Education, Corporate, Flight, Healthcare and others. To develop the infrastructure of the country’s economy and to reduce the dependence on oil sectors, the Saudi Arabia government has invested in many construction activities. This is a major factor that affected the growth of the catering service in foodservice sector. With the development of many industries in the areas of education, technology, health, textiles, energy and other has demanded for catering services for their employees. Industrial catering services has accounted for the largest revenue share in the recent years followed by the hospitality sector such as hotels, hajj catering and corporate event catering. The catering services in Saudi witnessed an increasing use of technology and modern methods of production such as online ordering apps, vehicle tracking systems and inventory management platform.

The major players in the catering sector in Saudi Arabia are Gulf Catering Company, Nesma trading Co. Ltd., Algosaibi Services, Saudi Airlines Catering Company, Saudi Catering and Contracting Company and Tamimi Global Company Ltd. Gulf Catering and Saudi Airlines Catering Company have invested heavily in technology to ensure premium quality food and service. The Saudi Arabian catering services market in the foodservice sector is expected to grow drastically over the coming years.

Saudi Arabia is witnessing a downtrend in the economy with fairly high unemployment rate, and population growth. The young and urban population in the country will surely continue to drive a strong growth in Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) by the year 2021. The Full Service Restaurants in Saudi will account for nearly fifty percent of the foodservice sector in the near future. The urbanized youth in Saudi depend on the foodservice, for socialization, nourishment, and supporting the growing roles of women in all fields and help in contributing the growth of the foodservice sector. This growth will predominantly increase the numbers of transactions and inflation in the country. Westernized lifestyle also encourages more occasions to eat out. The ever rising population, increase in privatization, demand for skilled workforce and sedentary lifestyle of Saudi Arabian nationals are the major factors driving the future of foodservice market.

Stringent Laws and Taxes Affect the Growth of Russia Cigarette Market: Ken Research

Posted on 30 October 2017 by KenResearch Food and Beverage ,

Russia is the world’s second-largest cigarette manufacturer after China. The country experienced inflation and economy downfall in the past years and has also stabilized. Majority of the population is addicted to high levels of smoking and alcoholism. Smoking remains widespread in Russia with approximately 41.8 million adult smokers who are either regular or occasional smokers.

Cigarette smoking incidences are continuously growing in Russian men, women and youngsters over a period of time. Russia has imposed excise tax on cigarettes, implemented strict laws related to smoking in public places and workplaces, as well as required reductions in tar and nicotine levels and ban on smoking advertisements in order to create awareness in the Russian smoking population. Russia will witness a continuous increase in the cigarette price and may become even more than in European countries. Every year an approximate of four hundred thousand Russians die of smoking-related diseases. It is also recorded that the number of smokers reduced by a ten percentile in the recent years after government restrictions.

In the year 2003, electronic cigarettes were invented. The electronic cigarette market witnessed a positive growth due to its wide publicity despite criticism from various health organizations in Russia. Electronic cigarettes were promoted as safer substitutes to cigarettes than tobacco and contained nicotine. Majority of the countries around the world have banned the sale of electronic cigarettes due to various health reasons and nicotine.

According to the study “Cigarettes in Russia”, cigarettes price in Russia is much less compared to other countries worldwide. Cigarettes are sold at various stalls and supermarkets. Earlier consumers could view cigarettes in the storefront before making a purchase, however, after stringent laws were passed this option was closed for all. Russian laws prohibit smoking in public places such as parks, beaches, hotels, clubs and many other public places. The Russian government has increased cigarette prices leading to shut down of many stalls. Cigarettes now in Russia are sold only in regular shops or in specialty stores.

The Russian government targets to reduce the number of smoking population in the country in the next 5 years or increase consumer spending income by inflation of tobacco products. It also has implemented a series of restrictions and standardisation of tobacco packs. For the past ten years the Russian Health Ministry is fighting against tobacco makers and fashion for smoking, however there was no significant change in the country’s tobacco usage.

The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation has taken up the project of the Concept of State Policy Against Tobacco Consumption for 2017-2022. This project focuses on the reduction and consumption of tobacco products by men, kids, teenagers and pregnant women. It also focuses on the prevention of distribution of new types of tobacco products such as filling for hookahs and vapes to create health awareness in Russians. However, there would be a gradually rise of excises on tobacco products to reach the average level of other countries worldwide. The ministry believes that these actions may lower the demand for tobacco and other tobacco products. In addition, all the tobacco manufacturers are required to redress the damage caused to the ecology from tobacco wastes. An ecological tax is imposed on cigarettes along with the uninterrupted rise of tobacco excises.

Smoking is banned in spaces for communal apartments, all types of automobile public transport and short-distance and international transportation, places that are closer than 3 metres from bus stops and entrances to shopping centres, in the underground and surface pedestrian crossings, in people's own transport in presence of kids or near people who are against tobacco smoking, educational institutions.

According to the Russian statistics, cigarette production was reduced by almost twenty percentile which is a positive sign. The cigarette production and consumption market in Russia will witness a drastic downfall in the coming years and this trend may continue for a long time in the near future.

According to the market research report "Chocolate Confectionery in Taiwan", one segment of the chocolate industry in Taiwan has not seen any downfall in sales. Instead, it has seen some growth in its sale. That segment is of dark chocolate. Dark chocolates have seen significant growth in its sales because of its low sugar content and certain other health benefits. This is the reason why most of the consumers are shifting from traditional chocolates to dark chocolates and therefore, manufacturers are providing various product options in dark chocolates. A recent survey has found that Taiwanese people are most interested in the good feeling they get when they eat chocolate.

To improve the standards of the industry, Taiwanese government is also setting some standards for the chocolate industry. This will help protecting the consumer rights and will set some quality benchmarks for the chocolate manufactures. At present, Ferrero Taiwan is the market leader in the chocolate industry. Its two products, Ferrero Rocher and Kinder Surprise took the lead in terms of sales. Kinder Country and Kinder Bueno are also famous. Mars who's Snickers follow Ferrero Taiwan and M&M’s products are sold the most. Hunya Foods Co follows Mars in terms of market share. It is a domestic brand.
