10 Trends in bakery products consumption: polarization of the bakery market Trading down for basic products: Success of low-price standard daily bread Success of hard-discount stores Trading up: High quality and more expensive bread specialities Success of artisan breads ("Pain de Tradition Française") Hamburger frees o.s. from fast-food Retailers and manufacturers need to fill the gaps! 10

11 Bakery products consumption drivers and brakes Main consumption drivers: Bread: natural and cheap New tastes and new shapes Search for snack and food-on-the-go Looking for meal solutions New tastes Snacking On-the-go Mini-bites Convenience Meal solutions Savoury Brakes on consumption growth: Effect of the economic downturn on indulgence and added value products Sweet products: a treat and not a need Health concern Competition from alternative savoury snacks Return to home-baking Trade down 11

12 "Better-for-you" bakery: Salt intake reduction Fat alternatives High-fibre, high protein options Functional and fortified foods Free-from Gluten Wheat Allergens Sat fats Palm oil Clean-label formulations The major health challenges in bakery Without affecting products' quality BUT the consumer still want a wide variety of tasty bakery goods! Bakery and ingredients producers need to adapt! New ingredients formulations: enzyme-based, technological, flavour Special requirements also imposed on technology: specific production lines, even custom-built machines 12

13 Avoiding food waste: 25% of bread products in high-income countries are wasted At retail & consumer level, during storage & processing Buying local to support local economy: Manufacturers buying local flour Consumer buying in local stores or directly to producers Carbon footprint: Bakery products contain a wide spectrum of ingredients from different origins New processes which make smarter use of natural resources Sustainability is omnipresent Global "green" trends also apply to bakery products The annual volume of water used for wasted food would fill lake Geneva three times 13

24 Drivers The main trends - And their likely effect on Industrials & Millers' activities Brakes Bread: staple & healthy Snacking, on-the-go, savoury Expansion of modern retail Industrial production Bread & fresh products: mature markets Trading down Increasing health concern Declining artisans & in-store scratch baking Opportunities Target both ends markets Answer to the still big standard markets Add value to bakery products and flours Branding Opportunities for differentiation New ingredient formulations ISB in hard-discount Opportunities for bake-off volumes Threats Rising cost and raw material prices Volatility Pressure on selling prices / on quality ISB in hard-discount Threat for bake-off margins 24

25 Is bake-off now at a turning point? Bake-off at production level: sustainability will be the key Trends are moving towards clean-label products Carbon footprint: bake-off is energy intensive New formulation and new ingredients Upgrade bakery processes Bake-off at consumer level: "Defrost" labelling regulation? Positive impact of "freshly baked" or "baked in-store" "Freshly baked" a misleading label? Emphasizing scratch baking whenever possible UK, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Greece Aldi (DE) and Coles (AU) taken to court It is a still ongoing legal battle 25
