Sep 30, 2010 – India is the second largest populated country after China. It is a country of enormous economic and social contrasts. India offers a complex marketing arena and demands high specificity in the assessment of its market opportunities for various classes of goods. India’s more than one billion people inhabit four climatic zones and speak at least 15 official languages. People of India follow several religious and personal beliefs differ enormously in their food habits and social customs under varying states of human development from the highly affluent to the utterly destitute.

September 30 2010 , Wilton,CT - FMCG Research has announced today the addition of "United Kingdom Food and Drink Report Q4 2010" report to their offer.
According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
The UK economic slowdown has had a pronounced effect on consumer spending. Given that most households continue to retrench and rein in overextended balance sheets, our core view is that the consumer recovery will be relatively weak during 2010 and into 2011. However, we hold to a more upbeat assessment over the medium term and expect private consumption growth to outperform the eurozone over our five-year forecast period....

September 30 2010 , Wilton,CT - FMCG Research has announced today the addition of "South Korea Food Report Q4 2010" report to their offer.
According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
BMI View: South Korea’s food, beverage and mass grocery retail sectors increasingly resemble those of developed Asian economies rather than emerging ones. The country’s leading producers continue to announce overseas investments as they seek to reduce their reliance on an increasingly mature domestic market. That said, the country continues to offer some opportunities for growth, particularly with regard to premiumisation and the growing demand for convenience.

September 30 2010 , Wilton,CT - FMCG Research has announced today the addition of "Slovakia Food and Drink Report Q4 2010" report to their offer.
According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
Although the economic situation has been recovering, high levels of unemployment – of over 10% – will continue to weigh down on consumer confidence. Similarly, even though overall inflation levels have been benign, food price inflation has been rising, which will act as a brake to volume sales. On top of this, retail sales (excluding motor vehicles) continued to decline in May 2010, indicative of the fact that demand...

September 30 2010 , Wilton,CT - FMCG Research has announced today the addition of "Singapore Food and Drink Report Q4 2010" report to their offer.
According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
BMI View: The Singaporean economy has enjoyed a robust recovery and this has filtered through into consumer confidence and spending so far this calendar year. That said, this remains a very mature market, while its tiny population is a further limiting factor and consequently economic growth has not translated into a surge in industry dynamism. Notably though, high spending does mean that opportunities for premiumisation remain, even allowing for...

September 30 2010 , Wilton,CT - FMCG Research has announced today the addition of "Russia Food and Drink Report Q4 2010" report to their offer.
According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
Although we expect consumer confidence in Russia to remain fundamentally weak over H210 (calendar), with retrenchment continuing to have a large bearing on expenditure, it is coming back more strongly than much of Europe.
Although Russia does not carry quite the phenomenal long-term appeal of fellow BRICs, China and India in particular, it continues to attract significant interest from multi-national corporations (MNCs). Disposable incomes are expected to grow considerably...

September 30 2010 , Wilton,CT - FMCG Research has announced today the addition of "Poland Food and Drink Report Q4 2010" report to their offer.
According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
Consumer confidence remains strong in Poland with headline retail sales performing well in both yearon- year and quarter-on-quarter terms. Unemployment began to moderate in the H110 (period) as Poland continued to thoroughly outperform most of emerging Europe. Underlining the resilience of consumer spending in Poland, private consumption has continued to serve as the main driver of real GDP growth in percentage terms. With Polish households much less leveraged than...

According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
The Dutch economy has returned to growth in 2010 and data from the Central Bureau for Statistics suggest that the economic recovery has gained traction in the latest quarter. This growth has had a positive impact on consumer confidence, which has advanced significantly since the start of the year. However, with confidence unlikely to reach pre-crisis levels for many months, the Dutch food and drink sector is likely finding the operating...

According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
The outlook for Japan’s consumer driven industries continues to remain poor as the country still suffers from weak GDP growth, a strong yen and the continued global slowdown in demand. This weak economic outlook, along with an ageing population, stagnant wage growth and market saturation will all have a negative impact on the food and drink sector’s growth moving forward. The outlook for the country’s mass grocery retail sector...

September 30 2010 , Wilton,CT - FMCG Research has announced today the addition of "India Food and Drink Report Q4 2010" report to their offer.
According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
The outlook for India’s food and drink industry is a very positive one, as strong economic growth continues to boost consumer confidence. India’s economy chalked up impressive real GDP expansion of 8.6% year-on-year (y-o-y) in Q110 (Q4 FY2009/10). The quarterly outturn helped to propel full fiscal year growth to 7.4% in FY2009/10 (April-March). While we believe headline expansion should cool going forward, India’s domestic demand-driven economy and a lack...

According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
BMI View: Indonesia’s private consumption oriented economy remains strong, and we continue to believe that solid long-term growth will occur. The economy is on track to hit our target of 5.2% real GDP growth for 2010, with GDP growth expected to accelerate slightly towards 5.3% in 2011. The positive economic outlook, along with a reasonable food consumption growth forecast – albeit from a still-low base – bodes well...

According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
The Vietnamese economy appears to be solidly on the road to recovery, with BMI now forecasting real GDP growth of 6.0%, in light of faster-than-expected growth in H110, although we continue to warn of the risks of overheating. Vietnam's real GDP growth in Q210 came in at 6.4% y-o-y, and while a breakdown of growth by expenditure is unavailable, we believe that private consumption is booming and is...

According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
BMI View: We expect Philippine crop production to improve in the 2010/11 season after 2009/10 crops were hit by a series of typhoons followed by high temperatures. Despite the production increases, the country will struggle to produce a surplus across all agricultural sectors in 2010/11. Although the government is attempting to mitigate some of the production inefficiencies through investments, the agricultural industry will continue to struggle to supply a rising...

September 09 2010 , Wilton,CT - FMCG Research has announced today the addition of "Bulgaria Food and Drink Report Q4 2010" report to their offer.
According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
Bulgaria remains, in our opinion, one of the least attractive food and drinks markets in the emerging Europe region. A poor economic outlook, with little optimism expected in the short term, is one of the key factors responsible for Bulgaria’s low ranking, with local currency depreciation also deterring foreign investment. In 2010, the consumer outlook in Bulgaria will remain suboptimal, given the expected 1% decrease in real private...

According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
With a population nearing 25mn, and making up nearly two thirds of the Gulf consumer market, Saudi Arabia is the only Gulf state with genuine long-term growth appeal. Indeed, important to this, we see the population – and thus potential consumers - increasing by 11% between 2009 and 2014 alone, and almost doubling by 2050.
After narrowly avoiding an economic contraction in 2009, with real GDP coming...

According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
Since establishing itself as a fairly high-spending and business-friendly market for Western food, drink and retail companies up until 2006-2007, Hungary has lost major ground to the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia in the food and drink sector. With the Hungarian food and drink industry already fairly well developed, and lacking scope for major long-term growth – especially given the modest population of about 10mn - established multinational...

According to the report produced by Business Monitor international:
Spain's economic problems have not spared the food and drink industry, with sales growth in this sector stuck in negative territory throughout H110. We see little prospect of growth in the medium term, with high unemployment, falling wages and rising taxes placing downwards pressure on consumption. However, we see greater room for growth beyond 2011, with the immaturity of the food and drink sector meaning it offers up...

September 09 2010 , Wilton,CT - FMCG Research has announced today the addition of "Colombia Food and Drink Report Q4 2010" report to their offer.
According to the report produced by Business Monitor international, the consumer picture in Colombia looks relatively positive over our five year forecast period. A reduction in credit, higher unemployment and high personal debt levels mean that the pace of growth is likely to be lower than that witnessed in the boom years leading up to the global financial crisis. However, with strong fundamentals and re-emerging indications of growth, Colombian consumers look set to continue steadily increasing the...

Norwalk, Conn., Sept. 1 - Last year marked the third consecutive year of diminishing growth rates in the beer industry, dropping 2.1% to 2.877 billion cases.
According to the Beverage Information Group's recently released 2010 Beer Handbook, the beer industry's downturn can be directly attributed to the decline in the light beer segment. Light beer, which accounts for a 52.8% share of the U.S. beer market, posted its first negative year since its beginning 30 years ago.
Other segments of the beer industry differed in their 2009 results. Imports declined 6.9% to 359.6 million 2.25-gallon cases, while the craft...
