LONDON, Jan. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportbuyer.com just published a new market research report:

The Brazilian Confectionery Market: What Consumers Eat and Why?

Product Synopsis

This report provides the results for the Confectionery market in Brazil from Canadean's unique, highly detailed study of consumers' Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) consumption habits, and forms part of an overall series covering all CPG product markets. Its coverage includes, but is not limited to, consumption behaviors, the extent to which consumer trends influence their consumption, the value of the market these trends influence, and brand and private label choices as well as retailer choices in organized retail market. Much of this information can also be analyzed by specific consumer groups, providing hard and fast data on consumers and markets at the product category level.

Introduction and Landscape

Why was the report written?
Marketers in the Confectionery market face a major challenge. Understanding market size and segmentation is valuable, but the key to effective targeting is knowing just how valuable specific consumer groups are, and being able to quantify the impact of consumer trends. This data report solves these problems by providing integrated survey-based data on consumer trends and consumer groups, and market data that shows the exact size of consumer groups, how much of the Confectionery market they account for, and which consumer trends drive their behavior.

What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
With product penetration levels already generally high in Brazil for Confectionery, future volume growth is likely to be driven by population dynamics. Outside of this, companies in the market will need to take share from competitors, encourage consumers to trade up to higher value products, or seek to do both.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Consumers' uptake of products and the influence of consumer trends are fundamental causes of change in markets - making knowing what these trends are and the extent of their influence crucial. The survey-based data provided in this report examines over 20 consumer trends that affect the market and examines the share of consumption across 26 consumer groups. This data provides a detailed insight into exactly who the consumer is and just how much impact the latest consumer trends are having.

What makes this report unique and essential to read?
The data provided is unique in the market as it tracks consumer behavior through to its actual value impact on a product market. This provides readers with a unique data analysis of the market, allowing marketing tactics and strategy to be updated in line with the very latest consumer behaviors.

Key Features and Benefits

Consumer data, based upon proprietary surveys and then consumer group tracking and modeling for the following specific categories: Chocolate, Gum, and Sugar Confectionery.

Detailed consumer segmentation covering over 26 consumer groups, 20 consumer trends, and consumption frequency for each product category.

Consumer penetration for brands and private labels, based upon the original survey and then subsequent consumer tracking and modeling.

Unique organized retailer choice data at the product category level, based upon the original survey and then subsequent consumer tracking and modeling.

Key Market Issues

In terms of total market value, the largest single consumer group is Older Young Adults, accounting for nearly a fifth of consumption. However they are not the only major consumer group and older age groups also offer large, addressable target markets.

Across the categories, while indulgence is important, it is not the leading single consumer trends in terms of affecting market value. Instead personal space and time, in this instance likely to be the little breaks in the day when enjoying these products, is a highly important consumer trend to target.

Overall, while consumer trends are important in shaping the market across all of Confectionery, their impact varies significantly by category, creating hotspots to targets.

Key Highlights

While Brazil has a young and growing population and Confectionery may inherently be seen as a youth orientated market, ignoring adult consumers risks missing a very significant part of the consumer base.

Private Label products have failed to date to make any significant inroads into the Brazilian confectionery market. With brands currently in the ascendency their challenge will be to maintain this position by reinforcing their credentials with consumers, effectively minimizing the change of effective Private Label development.

The cumulative volume share of top three retailers in organized retail of confectionery products in Brazil amounts to more than half of the total market, highlighting the importance of these retailers to any brand seeking to develop major share in the market. Outside these leading retailers in the organized retail market the picture is highly fragmented, limiting the ability to build share by dealing directly with specific retailers.
