macro trends<br />

SMALLER HOUSEHOLDS STILL GROWING<br />

The breakdown of traditional family structures,<br />

changing lifestyles, and growth in the over 65s<br />

and 20-30 year olds continue to influence the<br />

rise in smaller household sizes.<br />

PERSONALISED SERVICE 24/7<br />

Increased wi-fi accessibility and ownership<br />

of mobile devices allow people to use online<br />

services and access information 24/7. The<br />

popularity of social media has sparked an<br />

expectation for people to receive information<br />

specific to their needs.<br />

consumer trends<br />

TIME PRESSURE<br />

Time-saving shortcuts, such as shopping<br />

for products online and ‘on the move’, are<br />

smaller households) continue to look to save<br />

time preparing and cooking food.<br />

exposure to foods from other cultures”. 8<br />

CONVENIENT SHOPPING<br />

Grocery retailers are focusing investment in<br />

smaller, town-centre convenience stores and<br />

online shopping (with options such as home<br />

delivery or click and collect). Through store<br />

loyalty cards and the increase in online and<br />

mobile shopping, retailers are improving their<br />

shopper knowledge and attracting current and<br />

potential customers with tailored offers.<br />

ETHNIC FOCUS<br />

Grocery retailers have responded to the rise in<br />

ethnic diversity and demand for new tastes by<br />

dedicating more shelf space to a wider range of<br />

different cuisines.<br />

online grocery<br />

The UK’s internet grocery market will be<br />

worth £11.1bn by 2017, almost double its<br />

current value of £5.6bn.This represents a<br />

CAGR of 14.6% between 2012 and 2017. 9<br />

what does this mean<br />

for bakkavor<br />

Sales of <strong>Bakkavor</strong> products should benefit<br />

directly from the increase in convenience<br />

stores and the rise in single-person<br />

households. An expectation of 24/7 service<br />

and increased retailer investment in online<br />

and delivery services means that fresh<br />

prepared foods are bought with increasing<br />

confidence around the clock.<br />
