Executive summary

Italian preference for new products

Volume growth of Italian hot drinks in 2008 was driven by increasing demand for alternative products. Within coffee and tea, growth was driven by rising consumer demand for new added-value categories, offering convenience and health benefits. In other hot drinks, the positive performance was due to the success of chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks. Meanwhile, the use of black standard tea was in decline.

Health and convenience drive volume and value growth

In 2008, volume and value growth of Italian hot drinks was driven by consumers' rising health awareness and demand for convenience products. The health trend was evident in the shifting of demand from standard products -- both coffee and tea -- to healthier ones, such as fruit/herbal tea, green tea and decaffeinated coffee. On the other hand, convenience was the basis of the great success of pre-dosed coffee products, namely pods, in both instant coffee, standard coffee and instant coffee mixes. Such products are increasingly appreciated for their convenience of use, as well as their good taste, which is comparable with that of on-trade coffee.

Lavazza maintains its lead of value sales

Thanks to its strong position in coffee, Lavazza maintained its leadership of hot drinks in 2008, followed by Nestlé Italiana and Kraft Foods Italia. Nestlé Italiana owes its second position to its dominance in instant coffee, through the well-known Nescafé brand. Apart from instant coffee, Nestlé Italiana also leads chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks with its Nesquik Plus brand, and malt-based hot drinks with its Orzoro brand. Kraft Foods Italia is mainly focused on coffee, both fresh and instant, and is present with the Splendid and Café Hag brands. The latter is the leading brand of decaffeinated fresh ground coffee in Italy. Important tea manufacturers include D&C and Star. D&C owes its leadership of tea to its famous Twinings brand.

Economic uncertainty leads to polarisation

Despite registering a slight decrease in its volume share, supermarkets/hypermarkets remained the leading distribution channel for hot drinks in 2008. Supermarkets/hypermarkets lost ground to discounters and convenience stores, which benefited from the ongoing polarisation of hot drinks. The instability of the Italian economy and the first signs of recession divided the consumer base into two. On the one hand, consumers who could afford to continued to look for premium products. On the other hand, price-sensitive consumers shifted to cheaper brands. The result was an increasing polarisation of each end of the price spectrum, with a further decline of mid-priced products. Private label also increased its value share of hot drinks in 2008, with its lower prices attracting more and more consumers.

Off-trade channel and new products forecast to drive volume and value growth

Italian hot drinks is forecast to register only moderate volume and value growth during 2008-2013. The main trends will be a continued shift from the on-trade channel to the off-trade channel and growing consumer demand for convenient products. Coffee will benefit from the increasing appreciation of coffee pods and instant coffee mixes, including cappuccino and mocaccino options. Within tea, healthy products such as other tea, green tea and fruit/herbal tea are expected to be the most dynamic. Coffee manufacturers will launch new pre-dosed coffee with alternative aromas and tastes, while tea manufacturers will continue to stress the healthy antioxidant properties of tea.

KEY TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS

Ageing population

Italy has one of the fastest ageing populations in Western Europe, and the highest mean age in the EU. In 2008, 20% of the total population was aged 65-years-old and above. The ageing of the Italian population is largely due to longer life expectancy and low birth rates. In 2008, Italy' s birth rate stood at nine per 1,000 inhabitants, down from 13 per 1,000 inhabitants in 1977. Moreover, families are getting smaller and the increasing trend of women delaying childbirth is adding to the predicament. In 2008, the average age of women at childbirth was 31-years-old, compared with 27-years-old in 1977. This is contributing to falling birth and fertility rates, which are causing a lag in population growth. Mortality rates are also dropping, and life expectancies increasing. This is evident in the rising mean population age, which stood at 42-years-old in 2008.

While the number of people aged 65-years-old and above in Italy is increasing, the number of 0-14-year-olds grew by only 1% in 2008, accounting for 14% of the population. (Source: ISTAT, the National Institute of Statistics.)

Current Impact

The growing number of elderly people in Italy is clearly affecting almost all hot drinks categories. Overall, the trend is benefiting products that offer health-related properties and/or claim to prevent age-related health problems. Some such problems can be either self-treated or prevented through the intake of a long-term nutritionally balanced diet.

In tea, the ageing trend is contributing to the increasing popularity of products such as green tea and red tea, which claim strong antioxidant properties. Within coffee, the impact is less pronounced and is mainly evidenced by the growing demand for decaffeinated coffee and high-quality products, which are perceived as less unhealthy than other coffee types.

Outlook

Over the forecast period, Italy is likely to continue experiencing a very low birth rate and an increase in the mean population age. Most demographers agree that the changes in fertility and mortality rates required to reverse the ageing trend are very unlikely to occur. According to population forecasts, population ageing in the first half of the 21st century will exceed that of the second half of the 20th century. In Italy, the number of people aged 65-years-old and above is set to reach 23% of total population by 2020.

The UN estimates that life expectancy in Italy will continue to rise, with a mean age of 45-years-old by 2020. This will result in rather dramatic changes in the age structure of the population. The number of 0-14-year-olds is expected to decline by 8% between 2008 and 2020. By contrast, the number of people aged 65-years-old and above is projected to grow by 17%, while the number of very old people (aged 80-years-old and above) is set to grow by 39%.

Alongside the rise of elderly people, the Italian population will also see a change in its composition, with the number of foreign people legally living in Italy set to increase. According to ISTAT, the number of foreign people legally living in Italy totalled 3,432 million in August 2008. This represented a 17% increase in compared to 2007. Over the forecast period, it is likely that this percentage will rise further. This will not only be due to new arrivals in the country, but will also include babies born to immigrants, which typically have more babies than Italian families. Although there is always some uncertainty with any forecast, it is important to note that previous population forecasts have underestimated, rather than overstated, the rate of population ageing.

Future Impact

The changing population structure will have important implications on consumer expenditure patterns over the forecast period. Older consumers will become the most significant target group, with companies needing to address the needs of the older generation more closely. As a result, hot drinks manufacturers will increasingly pay attention to products that offer health-related properties and/or claim to prevent age-related health problems. Within tea, the trend will continue to be towards fruit/herbal tea and herbal infusions. Strong growth is expected for products that claim to ease age-related health problems, including poor digestion and memory problems. This trend will further boost volume and value sales of white tea and red tea, which remained niche at the end of the review period, due to their recent launch.

To capitalise on the ageing of the population, manufacturers will focus on the healthy side of their products, stressing the natural and additive-free nature of products such as black tea and coffee in an effort to create a healthy positioning. More manufacturers are likely to follow the example of Kraft Foods Italia, which started to advertise its Café Hag brand in 2007 by stressing the antioxidant properties of coffee. Recent studies suggested that drinking a cup of coffee acts as a memory boost, especially for older adults. According to other studies, increasing coffee consumption among healthy persons aged 65-years-old and above and without hypertension could reduce the risk of death from heart disease. Manufacturers will increasingly pay attention to these studies, as elderly people become a primary target for marketing.

Perhaps surprisingly, malt-based hot drinks is not expected to flourish over the forecast period, despite being mainly targeted at older consumers. Constant value sales are expected to decline by 12% during 2008-2013. The fact that the population is ageing is not enough to create greater demand for this mature category. Other products such as green tea and fruit/herbal tea will pose increasing competition, as middle-aged Italians seek healthier alternatives and more novel lifestyle products.

By contrast, chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks is projected to see positive growth, despite being primarily targeted at children. Volume and vales will be partially hindered by the declining birth rate, which will reduce the consumer base. Moreover, although the consumption of milk is low in Italy, there is no expectation of a changing trend. Instead, important changes in the Italian diet will favour other products, such as fruit/vegetable juice and RTDs.

Fear of recession

According to some economists, the financial sector' s problems are weighing directly on the real economy, and Europe is in recession. European exports are slowing down and the economies of the trading partners are declining. The result is an overall economic fall, with the loss of many jobs and critical economic conditions for many families. In 2008, inflation in Italy again started to rise, due to an increase in unit prices across different business areas. Electricity, gas, trains, textbooks and packaged food saw a particularly strong increase in prices, while manufacturing production declined. The Bank of Italy has reported that the number of poor people in Italy totals 15 million, 13% of which are obliged to live on only €500-600 a month. The instability of the Italian economy will undoubtedly affect consumer confidence over the forecast period.

Current Impact

The end of the review period was characterised by an increasing demand for premium products. This trend was counterbalanced by the increasing purchases of economy products, due mostly to the financial crisis and the reduced purchasing power of Italian families. The result was an increasing polarisation of each end of the price spectrum, with a further decline of mid-priced products.

The negative economic trend is not expected to end before the summer of 2009, and will continue to hinder many retail categories. Hot drinks is only partially suffering from the economic crisis, since the products are perceived as commodities. Nevertheless, certain trends are influencing hot drinks consumption, the most important being the increasing shift from the on-trade to the off-trade channel. This is due to the fact that off-trade prices are naturally lower than on-trade ones, and consumers are increasingly obliged to reduce their daily expenses, due to reduced purchasing power. Moreover, the increasing number of redundancies is resulting in major economic problems for many Italian families.

Coffee manufacturers will be unable to continue competing on price. The strategy is not sustainable in the long term, due to its erosion of manufacturers' margins. In addition, rising prices of raw and roasted coffee beans are leading manufacturers to increase unit prices slightly and reduce the number of promotions.

Outlook

Some economists forecast that economic growth could be back on track by the summer of 2009, unless oil prices back up, with a consequent freezing up of the global economy. Others project a gloomier future for the Italian economy, with the crisis continuing into 2010 and 2011. In such an uncertain economic climate, any type of forecast is extremely difficult. The only possible solution is a return to a certain type of saving, to counterbalance the excessive spending of the 1990s and the first half of the 2000s.

Italy is the slowest-growing major economy in Europe. According to the most recent findings, the country is in recession, having registered negative GDP growth in 2008, and with further negative growth forecast for 2009. The Italian Government is trying to set up strategies to boost the economy, and to help small and medium-sized enterprises recover from the crisis. However, a major problem is also to recover Italian exports, one of the main sources of work for Italian manufacturers. According to a recent survey, only 19% of Italian executives believe that their companies will grow, down from 52% in 2007.

Future Impact

The fear of recession and a sustained economic crisis will continue to influence hot drinks over the forecast period. The on-trade channel is expected to remain in decline, due to its higher prices. At the same time, off-trade consumption will continue to be driven by consumers' desire to pay less. During 2008-2013, off-trade value sales of coffee and tea are forecast to grow at CAGRs of 2% and 1%, respectively.

Consumption in the off-trade channel will be driven by increasing price competition, due to rising demand for money-saving products. In an attempt to satisfy consumers' need to save money, manufacturers may use cut-price promotional activities, as well as enriching their portfolio with economy lines. A result of this trend will be a more evident polarisation of hot drinks during the forecast period. Consumers who can afford to will continue looking for premium products and well-known brands to treat themselves. Meanwhile, more price-sensitive consumers will shift to cheaper brands. Polarisation will occur at the expense of standard products, with an increasing percentage of consumers moving away from mid-priced brands, towards premium or low-priced products.

Competitive landscape

Multinational hot drinks players in Italy are trying to consolidate their value shares at the expense of smaller companies. Multinationals have a strong reputation for quality products and packaging. They also benefit from strong distribution links with leading chained retailers and good marketing budgets for their products. However, the recent negative results of the Italian and European economies are hindering multinationals' investments in Italy.

Current Impact

At the beginning of 2008, the Italian economy slowed down, becoming worse in the second half of the year. However, the hot drinks market showed good reaction capabilities and dynamism, particularly in coffee.

In 2008, Italian coffee remained dominated by the domestic Lavazza (the leader of Italian espresso coffee) and other domestic players, including Café Do Brasil, Segafredo Zanetti and Illycaffé However, multinationals also ranked highly, with Kraft Foods Italia and Nestlé Italiana in second and fourth positions, respectively. Multinationals invested heavily to support their brands, particularly Café Hag decaffeinated fresh ground coffee and Nescafé instant coffee. Meanwhile, the leading domestic players struggled to maintain their value shares.

Nestlé Italiana also holds a strong position in other hot drinks, thanks to the dominant presence of its Nesquik Plus brand of chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks. This successful position was increasingly supported by important investments in advertising during the review period. TV advertisements continued to underline the fact that Nesquik Plus is not simply a chocolate-based milk modifier, but a complete product enriched with mineral salts and vitamins.

Outlook

Small and medium-sized enterprises are seen as the backbone of Italian industry, and an effective base for a soft economy. Medium-sized companies are considered to be the basis of a new start for Italian industry, but are suffering greatly from the financial crisis. The Italian Government is studying some proposals to help such companies, and thus to limit the social and economic impacts of the crisis.

In some hot drinks categories, multinationals will continue to be the strong leaders. One of the main reasons for multinationals' continued dominance is the availability of capital for intensive advertising campaigns and continuous development of new and improved products. Both Nestlé Italiana and Kraft Foods Italia are likely to continue investing in advertising and promotional activities, as they will be less limited by economic constraints than domestic companies.

Although domestic hot drinks players will remain significant, the economic crisis will tend to favour multinationals. By using the latest technology and research, multinational players can introduce new products at very competitive prices. In this way, consumers can choose products that are not only cutting edge, but are also the best choice in terms of price.

Future Impact

Rising competition levels within hot drinks are expected to result in a growing focus on price competition. This will lead domestic players to keep prices low and use price promotions in an attempt to build consumer loyalty and gain volume shares. In a bid to compete with multinationals, mergers and acquisitions are expected to give new force to Italian manufacturers, particularly in coffee.

Manufacturers will continue to exploit new possibilities for revitalising hot drinks. Options include offering exciting novelties, including natural and healthy products. The key will be to offer new ranges of products, in terms of both quality and price.

Health and wellbeing

Modern Italian consumers are increasingly concerned about their health. They are aware that balanced nutrition and healthier food choices can provide a wide array of benefits, including stress reduction, better relaxation, improved quality of life, and enhanced appearance and fitness. Given the growing importance of appearance and maintaining a healthy weight, more consumers are tending to choose health and wellness products.

The growth in obesity levels is a further important factor behind the health trend. According to SIO (Italian Obesity Association), Italian obesity levels (ie a body mass index higher than 30) reached 10% of the population in 2008. Aware of the increase in obesity rates, the Italian Government launched several initiatives during the review period, aimed at educating consumers and persuading them to eat healthier diets.

The health trend is positively affecting consumers' attitudes towards better-for-you and naturally-healthy products. A significant numbers of consumers are more inclined to switch to better-for-you versions of their favourite products, rather than thoroughly modifying their diets. At the same time, the trend is encouraging manufacturers to reformulate their products.

Current Impact

Within Italian hot drinks, the health trend is mainly evident in decaffeinated coffee and caffeine-free tea, as consumers are increasingly cutting back on their caffeine consumption. Overall, consumer choices are moving toward a sense of self-awareness. In order to satisfy the growing demand for healthy hot drinks, fuelled by raised health concerns among consumers, leading manufacturers are gradually broadening their portfolios of organic products and products perceived by consumers as healthy and natural.

Within tea, the trend towards healthy products resulted in strong volume and value growth of green tea during the review period. Consumption was driven by the appeal of green tea' s health benefits, including its high content of antioxidants, called catechins. To capitalise on this trend and increase their margins, manufacturers strongly invested in fruit/herbal tea and green tea, which are perceived by consumers as healthy alternatives to black tea and coffee. Leading brands such as Twinings and Pompadour boasted a wide range by the end of the review period, including infusions with relaxation or detoxification benefits, and exotic varieties made from leaves, berries, fruits and herbs, with various additions such as honey, sugar crystals, cinnamon sticks and other spices.

Marketing also played a major role, with manufacturers using labels to stress the health benefits of their products. For example, Kraft Foods Italia advertised its Café Hag brand by stressing the antioxidant properties of coffee.

The migration of demand from black tea to fruit/herbal tea is mainly being driven by 25-45-year-old consumers, in the upper-middle income groups and generally with a college education. This consumer base is making well-informed choices about food and drink. Consumers are also placing increasing demands on manufacturers in terms of ethical considerations such as Fair Trade. This is giving manufacturers further scope to increase margins.

Outlook

The trend towards health and wellbeing is set to continue during the forecast period, supported by a growing focus on health issues by the media and increasing investment in health initiatives by the Italian Government. Public education will continue to be a fundamental tool in improving the health of the nation and in influencing manufacturers to reformulate their products and make them healthier. Government campaigns against obesity, smoking and high consumption of sugar, salt and fat will all create marketing opportunities for consumer products. An increasing numbers of consumers will be willing to buy organic food, despite higher prices. Consumers will also learn to choose products that offer more nutritional value, such as better-for-you versions or naturally healthy products.

The ageing of the Italian population will further drive the health trend, as consumers look for solutions to help them age well and prevent age-related health problems. Manufacturers will continue to target different health issues, with products to aid immunity, gut health and general wellbeing among the most popular. Heart health and weight management will also be of concern.

At the same time, ethical considerations will capture the minds of consumers. This will contribute to the growing awareness of locality, sustainability and Fair Trade. Increasing environmental consciousness will drive demand for organic food and drink products, which will be more widely available in leading retail chains.

Future Impact

Health will remain a key driver of hot drinks during the forecast period. Healthy varieties of tea and coffee will see increased volume and value sales, as will specialised products. Consumers will be increasingly concerned with ethical issues and specific healthy properties of hot drinks.

Growing ethical concerns about the countries of origin of products will put the burden on producers to better communicate with consumers regarding these issues. This will largely be done by packaging and advertising. Health and specialisation trends will alter the perception of tea and coffee as commodity items, with the products increasingly viewed as a defining lifestyle choice. Increasing consumer concerns about health and wellbeing will make manufacturers pay more attention to their public image. It will become more important for manufacturers to be viewed as being actively involved in solving modern health-related problems, such as obesity and anxiety.

While new healthy products will be created during the forecast period, existing products will be revamped in a healthier form. Investments in launching health and wellness products will help to improve the corporate image of major companies such as Lavazza, Kraft Foods Italia, Nestlé Italiana, Star and D&C, with smaller players gradually following suit. Despite the traditional dominance of coffee in Italy, tea is expected to become increasingly popular, due to its image of being healthy. Fruit/herbal tea is likely to see more specialisation, with consumers seeking condition-specific remedies instead of universal solutions. Companies will also strive to offer fruit/herbal tea varieties that are more than just healthy, for example with improved tastes and new flavours.

Within coffee, the focus will be on decaffeinated coffee and on coffee enriched with ingredients such as gingko and ginseng. Given the increasing demand for coffee pods, it is also likely that consumers will focus on the environmental impact of the packaging. Issues of sustainability and the environment will have an important impact on the marketability of coffee pods.

Changing consumer preferences

Italy is one of the largest processors of green coffee beans in the world. It is also the second largest European country, after Germany, for production and consumption of coffee. The Italian coffee industry comprises more than 700 roasting companies, with almost 7,000 employees and an overall turnover of €2.6 billion. Coffee has always been perceived as a pleasure, to be drunk at the end of a good meal or during a short visit to bars. The Italian preference is for pure coffee, which accounts for 94% of volume sales, with decaffeinated coffee accounting for the remaining 6%.

One of the most appreciated Italian hot drinks is the famous cappuccino, a mix of coffee and milk, which is drunk mostly in the morning for breakfast.

Current Impact

Despite a wider assortment of available products, on-trade consumption of hot drinks is in decline. This can partly be attributed to the economic crisis, but also to the fact that the Italian preference for hot drinks is changing, with coffee gradually being replaced by other products. Prices in the on-trade channel are almost two times higher than in the off-trade channel, and this is greatly influencing consumers' choice. Off-trade consumption of hot drinks is increasing, due to the growth of convenient products, such as coffee pods and/or instant coffee mixes. Although these products remained niche in Italy at the end of the review period, volume and value sales are growing dynamically, indicating increasing consumer interest in high-quality, cheaper and time-saving products.

Outlook

The average Italian consumption of hot drinks is likely to increase, favoured by growing consumption of pre-dosed coffee and its mixes, as well as of fruit/herbal tea. Consumer interest is visible in the increased demand for different types of instant coffee and instant coffee specialties, for example flavoured coffees, cappuccino and mocaccino. There is also increasing interest in high-quality products, although this is partially limited by the prevailing economic crisis. Over the forecast period, hot drinks consumption will be driven by launches of new products, mostly in instant coffee and fruit/herbal tea.

Future Impact

The impressive performance of coffee pods and instant coffee mixes is expected to continue over the forecast period. Pre-dosed coffee (both paper pods and plastic or aluminium capsules) is expected to maintain its double-digit volume and value growth. This represents a very strong evolution of hot drinks, from traditional raw material commodities to convenient products, ready to be drunk. There is evidence of changing preferences in Italian hot drinks consumption, mostly in the very old and traditional coffee. Young people, having shifted away from the coffee-drinking tradition in favour of other drinks (fruit/vegetable juice and functional drinks, for example) are starting to appreciate the convenience and taste of the new coffee products, such as mocaccino and ginseng coffee.
