Key Market Trends

High Demand for Fruit-based Spreads

Fruit-based spreads include jellies, marmalades, conserves, and preserves, all of which differ in terms of consistency. Majority of the consumers who use fruit jams, jellies, and marmalades, consume them during breakfast. The number of private-label fruit spread brands has been increasing, due to the surge in organized retailing. Much of this growth can be attributed to the consolidation and expansion of the retail food industry. In 2016, the per-capita expenditure for the consolidated European market of jams, jellies, and marmalades was USD 10.15. Fruit spreads are more appealing to the older European consumers, than to the younger people. The highest consumer of jams, jellies, and marmalades in Europe is France, which accounts for 36% of the total European consumption. The other major countries that consume fruit spreads are Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain.

United Kingdom is the Fastest Growing Market Segment

To augment the consumers' interest, new sweet spread products are being launched in the British market, with an emphasis on premium qualities and eco-awareness attributes, such as "vegetarian" and "environment-friendly packaging". Another important factor affecting the growth of the food spread market is the revived interest in baking at home; one-fifth of the British consumers has been estimated to use spreads in various baking operations, other than during breakfast. In terms of health and wellness, sweet spreads face a challenge as they are not inherently healthy products, due to the high amounts of sugar that they contain. One exception is honey, which is still favored, due to health-oriented claims, including anti-bacterial properties.
