FRANCE: REVIEW OF SELF-SERVICE PROCESSED MEATS
Article Abstract:
Sales of processed meats in self-service departments represented 231,339 tonnes in France for the twelve months ending 17 January 1999, calculated monthly, up 8.3%, for FFr 13.1bn, up 6.8%. Salt meats posted the best growth, up 24.5% in volume, and up 21.3%, followed by chilled processed meats, up 11.5% in volume and up 14.4% in turnover, and rillettes, up 8.4% in volume and up 7.7% in value. Cooked ham is the principal market segment, with a 25.5% volume market share, up 8.3% and a 35.3% value market share, up 4.6%? followed by ingredients with a 22.4% volume market share, up 6.3% and a 19.1% value market share, up 1.4%. Knuckle of ham is the only segment to decline, down 17.6% in volume and down 6.1% in value. The success of processed meats in self-service departments is largely due to practicality and ease of use, cited by 97% of consumers. In order to meet this favourable trend to more practical products, industries are switching to easy-to-open-and-close packaging, such as Tip Top, and easy-to-open trays with controlled atmosphere. They are also striving to save space and clarify the selection on shelves. Practicality also involves snacks with the development of sliced products, individual break-apart packaging and the launch of miniature versions of products.
