1 Introduction

This report provides an analysis of trends in new food product launches. The aim is to provide a better

understanding in which product claims, as well as product-related attributes, have demonstrated a growth

or a decline in markets that are important for the Danish food industry.

The data used in this report come from the Mintel’s Global New Product Database (www.gnpd.com). The

analysis has been carried out across five continents (Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and

Middle East), twenty-two countries, eight product categories (Dairy, Bakery, Chocolate Confectionery,

Fruits and Vegetables, Meals and Meal Centers, Processed Fish Meat and Egg Products, Snacks, Sugar

and Gum Confectionery), and for a period of six years (2006-2011).

This report is organized as follows: First, a description of the data used in this report is provided together

with details on the methodological approach. Second, summary tables are listed presenting the overall

findings in relation to the top claims for 2011, claims that showed an increase and a decrease. Finally, the

third section provides detailed figures obtained for each continent and country respectively.

2 Methodology

Records on new product launches were extracted from Mintel’s Global New Products Database

(www.gnpd.com). Mintel records launches of new products across several countries in the world. The

advantage of Mintel is that it categorizes each new record according to a number of predefined product

categories and type of claims. These categories have been used in this report. Table 2-1 provides a list of

those categories that have been used in this report, together with a short description.

Table 2-1 Description of attributes that are used in the analysis from Mintel

The period that this report covers is from 2006 until 2011. For this period, all records across a series of

product categories and continents (including specific countries) were extracted. Table 2-3 presents the

continents used in this report and the respective countries that are included in each continent according to

Mintel. Those countries that are in bold are further analyzed in this report in more detail.
