Overview of Plunkett's Food, Beverage & Tobacco Industry coverage

The food and beverages industry is among the most competitive and globally-linked of all business sectors. For example, our market research shows that many of America's best-known food packagers, such as Heinz, get 30%, 50% and even higher percentages of their total revenues from outside the U.S. U.S. brand names, such as Coca-Cola and Starbucks are known worldwide, as are European brands such as Nestle. Vast amounts of processed foods and agricultural commodities trade occur on a global basis each year.

On the supermarket side, giant, American supermarket chains like Albertson's and Kroger are battling the ever-increasing market share and incredibly low retail prices offered in the immense discount grocery departments at Wal-Mart Supercenters. Meanwhile, Wal-Mart is taking its retail expertise overseas. At retail, food is over a $500 billion industry in the U.S. alone.

The hottest growth areas in the food business are in natural foods, organic products, health foods, diet foods and nutritionally-enhanced foods. Consumers to a growing extent desire foods that give them a nutritional edge. Ready to eat and home meal replacement foods continue to boom for consumers who want to dine at home but are pressed for time.

Many retailers, including Safeway, are learning how to successfully combine bricks-and-clicks, taking grocery orders online and then fulfilling those orders through existing supermarkets. Moreover, food producers, distributors and retailers are using the latest in e-commerce methods to manage their supply chains and replenish their inventories. And, online-only food retailer FreshDirect is showing true promise in the New York City market with over $120 million in annual revenues.
