Canned food market reacts to changing lifestyles

Article Abstract:

The canned food industry is responding to consumer demand for healthier products by reducing the amounts of sugar and salt in some products, removing artificial additives and introducing new lines, say market analysts Euromonitor. The canned food sector is seeking to regain market share from the chilled and frozen food sectors. The Canadian canned food market grew 19.5% during 1992-1996, with the Spanish market growing 16%. Vegetables are the main canned food product by volume sales, although ready meals are the primary sector in the UK, accounting for 31.8% of sales by volume.

Good prospects for Bulgarian canneries after privatisation

Article Abstract:

Canneries in Bulgaria should be able to develop and restore production volumes after privatisation, if changes in packaging and marketing strategy are made, according to many analysts. The industry is traditionally export oriented, with Russia the main export market, and Bulgarian canned produce continues to be popular in other former Soviet Republics. Many canneries have returned to full production capacity, although profits are mainly being used to cover interest on outstanding debts.

Hungarian canned food industry suffering from overcapacity

Article Abstract:

The Hungarian canning industry has almost recovered from the political upheaval in eastern Euorope, although maintaining growth in both new and traditional markets without the required capital is a problem. Domestic demand is falling, while overseas sales opportunities are good, which is leading to overcapacity. Canned vegetable production has been particularly affected with many production lines operating at 20-30% capacity.
