EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Market Review focuses on five key sectors of the UK food market: meat and meat products; fish and fish products; fruit and vegetables; dairy products, eggs, oils and fats; and bread, cakes, biscuits and cereals. A sixth category, miscellaneous foods, comprises a variety of food items that are not covered elsewhere in the Review. Both fresh and processed products are included, but confectionery, ice cream, alcoholic drinks, and hot and cold beverages (including fruit juices, tea and coffee) are excluded. The emphasis is on the retail market, rather than the wholesale or catering markets.
 
In 2003, consumer expenditure on the foods covered by this Review rose by 5.4%, to £51.85bn, mainly as a result of an increase in spending on meat and meat products. Spending on food as a proportion of total household expenditure is in long-term decline in the UK — a trend common to other advanced economies — and this trend continued between 1999 and 2002, with just a small blip in 2003, owing to higher sales of meat.
 
All the core sectors of the UK food market grew in value terms between 1999 and 2003. Sales of meat and meat products have enjoyed a renaissance since 2002, having encountered serious problems in the previous 10 years from a series of health and farming crises, including BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), swine fever and foot-and-mouth disease. The value of the market for fish and fish products has been boosted by increasing shortages of fish around the world, which have forced up prices. The dairy products, eggs, oils and fats sector and the fruit and vegetables sector, however, have struggled to shake off their commodity images, and this is reflected in their slow growth rates over the review period.
 
The main trends affecting the UK food market are growing demand for convenience foods and increasing concern about the relationship between diet and health. Employment levels are rising, and people have increasingly busy social lives. Many consumers do not have the time to prepare a meal from scratch in the evening, so they use the microwave to heat a ready meal or other convenience food. At the same time, increased health awareness and government campaigns urging people to reduce their intake of sugar, salt and fat are driving demand for healthy products.
 
Key Note forecasts that the UK retail food market will grow roughly in line with inflation over the next 5 years. The sectors that are likely to experience the strongest growth are: fish and fish products, which should benefit from their healthy image; dairy products, eggs, oils and fats, where growth will occur mainly in the milk, cheese and eggs segments, driven by increased branding and the introduction of value-added products; and meat and meat products, as consumer confidence in the sector continues to recover. Slower growth is forecast for bread, cakes, biscuits and cereals, and for fruit and vegetables.
