Key Market Issues

• As the population ages and fewer children are born the demand for high quality healthy foods will grow as parent become able to invest more resources into a smaller family size. The impact of such changes will increase the market for premiumized products offering real health and nutrition benefits beyond taste.
• Discretionary income amongst children and tweenages have risen significantly, which has given rise to children and tween have an increasingly greater control over their purchasing choices. Companies must take this into account when devising their product and associated marketing strategies.
• Over the next few years local legislation in the US and EU-wide regulation via the NHCR will begin to make a significant impact in the way that foods (especially non-nutritious products) can be marketed. The big concern is the use of online advertising, and this will become an increasingly difficult area to police as we move forward into 2011. Industry must decide if these potential policing issues are a benefit to circumvent the regulations or are they to be avoided in a bid to fully comply with legislative changes to the marketing of children's foods and beverages.
