Make Ahead Consumer Trends - Sauces, Dressings and Condiments in Germany - Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Annex: Definitions MARKET SNAPSHOT Germany has the largest population among the 27 European Union (EU) member countries, with an estimated total population of 81.8 million, as of January 2011. Despite the largest total population, Germany has experienced decreasing population growth since 2006, with the lowest birth rate in the EU -27, at 8.1 births per thousand inhabitants (Euromonitor, 2012). Germany also has the largest economy by total gross domestic product ( GDP ) within the EU -27, at US $3.57 trillion in 2011, with US $43,689 annual per capita GDP (World Bank, 2012). The country's economy was affected by the global economic slowdown in 2008-2009. However, it has been recovering quickly. In addition, consumers gained confidence as their personal finances indicated positive prospects, regardless of the euro crisis (Euromonitor, 2012).

The total sauces, dressings and condiments market in Germany experienced slow growth, with a compound annual growth rate ( CAGR ) of 2.9% in value terms, and 1.8% by volume over the 2006-2011 period. Dips and pickled condiments recorded the highest growth rate during the 2006-2011 period, both by value and volume terms, and are expected to further expand at a higher rate than most other categories during the 2011-2016 period. According to Euromonitor (2012), an increasing number of German households are cooking at home using time-saving options. For example, rather than making pasta sauce from scratch, German consumers choose ready-made pasta sauces or alternative products to “jazz up” their dishes. In addition, the sales of sauces, seasonings and condiments depend on seasonality. Specifically, during the summer months, barbeque-related products, such as table sauces, are sold more often than during other seasons.

From January 2006 to July 2012, there were numerous new products introduced in the German sauces, dressings and condiments market, including new products with diverse blends of flavours. In terms of sales, cream-based wet cooking sauces, including Hollandaise, Béarnaise, and Béchamel, performed well, with 37% (estimate) of retail value sales in the sauces category in 2011. Curry sauces also performed well, accounting for an 18% (estimate) share of the sauces market in 2011. The key marketing words for 2011 were ‘low calorie' and ‘made with organic produce.' However, due to the intense competition in this fragmented market, pricing was often used as a major marketing tool. RETAIL SALES Retail Sales Overview The total value sales of sauces, dressings and condiments in Germany reached US $4.4 billion in 2011, with a CAGR of 2.9% during the 2006-2011 period.

Volume sales for these categories totalled 943,400 tonnes in 2011, up by just 0.4% from 2010. Volume sales growth gradually decreased since the peak growth of 3.5% during the 2006-2007 period, maintaining a CAGR of 1.8% during the 2006-2011 period. In value terms, cooking sauces were the largest market during the 2006-2011 period, with US $2 billion in sales, accounting for 48.4% of the total market in 2011. Within this category, herbs and spices were the largest sub-category, with a value of US $701 million. The second largest market was table sauces, with US $1.3 billion in sales, representing 30.7% of the total market. However, table sauces have experienced a decrease in market share since 2006. Since 2008, volume sales of pickled condiments have outperformed table sauces, which were traditionally the largest market by volume sales.

Accordingly, pickled products showed an increase in value sales, registering total sales of US $729 million in 2011, at a CAGR of 7.4% during the 2006-2011 period. Both by value and volume sales, dips were the fastest growing category, with a CAGR of 10.3% from 2006-2011, with US $111 million in sales in 2011. Retail Sales Forecasts By 2016, Germany's sauces, dressings and condiments market will be valued at US $4.9 billion, with total volume sales of 943,600 tonnes. Value sales are expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.5%, while volume sales growth will likely be stagnant or negative. This means that price increases will be a major factor in value sales growth. Dips and barbecue sauces are expected to register relatively strong growth, at a CAGR of 4.8% and 4.6%, respectively.

Each category is expected to maintain similar market share in value and volume terms during the 2011-2016 period, as compared to the 2006-2011 period. Considering the stagnant volume consumption in some of the traditionally popular sub-categories, such as salad dressings, vinaigrettes, barbecue sauces, and ketchup, new product development and product differentiation will likely be the key for market expansion, including the introduction of new flavours, healthy options and convenient packaging. Distribution Store-based retailing was the predominant distribution channel for sauces, dressings and condiments in Germany throughout the 2006-2011 period. Non-store-based retailing, including Internet shopping, represented less than 0.5% of distribution during the same period. Discounters held the largest distribution share ofsauces, dressings and condiments in Germany during the 2006-2011 period. This channel gradually grew, accounting for 46.1% in 2011. Supermarkets/hypermarkets, the second-largest channel, maintained approximately 37% of distribution share.

Within small grocery retailers, independent small grocers represented 12.3% of the distribution in 2011. However, this channel's share has decreased gradually every year, as discounters and supermarkets/hypermarkets expanded. Germany's Sauces, Dressings and Condiments Distribution Share by Major Channels in 2011 - % of Retail Value Sales CAGR : compound annual growth rate MARKET SHARE BY COMPANY Nestlé SA was the largest player by value sales over the 2006-2011 period. In 2011, Nestlé SA accounted for 13.5% of the total market, followed by Fuchs Gewürze GmbH & Co, with 13.4%, and Unilever Group with 11.5%. The top three global companies, Nestlé SA, Unilever Group, and Kraft Food Inc., have multiple brands covering various product categories. The three top German companies, Fuchs Gewürze GmbH & Co, Carl Kühne KG, and Hengstenberg GmbH & Co, Richard, specialize in certain product groups, such as seasonings, pickled condiments and dressings, and are competitive in their specialized product categories.

Unilever Group's Knorr brand held the largest brand share, maintaining slightly more than 10% during the 2006-2011 period. However, Knorr lost 1.4 percentage points of its share from 2006, as the market became more fragmented, with the entry of new competitors in various product ranges. The Knorr brand was particularly strong in pasta and barbecue sauces. The second-largest brand, Kühne (Carl Kühne KG), maintained stable brand share, with an average of 7.6% during 2006-2011. Kühne's products include dressings, vinegars, sauces and pickles.

New Sauces, Dressings and Condiments Launched in Germany from January 2006 to July 2012, by Year and Product Category Launch Type Source: Mintel, 2012 Major Claims No additives/preservatives was the most popular claim for sauces, dressings and condiments launched in Germany during the 2006-2012 period; this claim appeared on 1,095 products.

For the whole category, March had the highest number of new launches with 450 products, or 11.6% of the total new products launched between January 2006 and December 2011. For cooking sauces, March and November were the most active months of the new product launches.

YTD : year-to-date Innovation Trends According to Euromonitor (2011), there were a limited number of innovations in Germany's sauces, dressings and condiments market. Recent launch patterns also showed that there was an increasing number of relaunches and range extensions of existing products. In addition, some of the recent innovations, such as Knorr Bouillon Pur Delikatess gelatine bouillon, showed low sales performance in the German market. By contrast, the organic brand Alnatura's cube stocks have increased distribution within the mass market channel, with positive sales performance in terms of sales per store. Increasing consumer demand for convenient packaging encourages producers of sauces, dressings and condiments to continue to introduce new products with improved portionability, or in microwavable containers or in containers with an easy dispensing mechanism. For example, there were three spray-bottled dressing products introduced in the market under the Finest Gourmet brand by IMEX Handelsgesellschaft, which were meant to appeal to consumers looking for easy-to-dispense dressings.

Flavour Trends There were 819 flavours (including flavour blends) for 4,585 new sauces, dressings and condiments launched in Germany over the 2006-July 2012 period. As the number of new product releases increased, so did the number of new flavours, diversifying consumer choices. For example, 2011 had the highest number of new product launches as well as the most new flavours, with a total of 289 flavours introduced. In addition, in 2009 when there was the greatest expansion of new product launches, 126.5% more than 2008, the total number of flavours introduced in the market was 249, an increase of 97.6% from the previous year. Among total new products, unflavoured/plain, with 151 products, was the most popular flavour, followed by tomato with 129 products. Mustard was the third-most popular flavour with 76 products, followed by garlic and vegetable, with 64 products each.

Major Ingredients Analyses Since 2006, an increasing number of spicy and hot flavour components have been introduced in the market. For example, an increasing number of curry (including blends of curry flavours), various kinds of chilli peppers, and strong blends of mustard and wasabi were often used as ingredients and branded in the product names. However, mild flavours and their ingredients are still predominant. Major ingredients for sauces, dressings and condiments in Germany were vegetables, herbs, fats, cereals and vinegars. For vegetables, peppers were the most commonly used, followed by tomatoes, including puree, paste and powder forms. Onion and garlic were also popular ingredients. Vegetable fats were the most commonly used oil and fat ingredient across diverse product types. The next popular oil and fat ingredient was sunflower seed oil. Of the 321 products using sunflower seed oil, 46.1% were pasta sauces and vegetable dips. Rapeseed oil was used in 77 new products, 53.2% of them were table sauces and dressings. For acidic components, the most commonly used vinegar was regular vinegar (variation of distilled white vinegar) for all types of products.
