Once a year, RaboResearch takes the Consumer Foods to Go podcast off-piste. Last week, instead of recording from behind our desks, we once again picked up our microphones and visited the Private Label Manufacturers Association’s (PLMA) World of Private Label trade show in Amsterdam. Given the tremendous run that private label market share has had in recent years, the million-dollar questions is: What’s next? Could the widened price gap between name brands and their private label counterparts provide

2025/03/20

Like every year, RaboResearch visited Natural Products Expo West, one of the largest food trade shows in the US. In this episode of Consumer Foods to Go, analysts Tom Bailey, Nick Fereday, and JP Frossard share their observations of this year’s edition. In their view, with more “real food” and products with shorter ingredient lists, the 2025 Expo West trade show lived up to its “Natural Products” name more than previous editions. Of course, there was much more. Consumer favorites such as protein,

That same day, some of his plans were unveiled, all aligning with the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) initiative. While some of RFK Jr's ideas are considered controversial, this is a good opportunity to evaluate the policies at face value and assess their potential impacts. To this end, hosts Maria Castroviejo and Cyrille Filott interviewed their colleague and US resident Nick Fereday

Years ago, we released podcasts exploring the fascinating changes and developments in China's food retail sector, particularly in the online space, often referred to as "new retail."

Energy prices are crucial for food businesses. In the previous episode of Consumer Foods to Go, we discussed the outlook for agri-commodities in 2025. However, energy prices are equally important for food processors. In this episode, Maria Castroviejo and Cyrille Filott interview their RaboResearch colleagues Florence Schmit and Joe DeLaura about the outlook for natural gas and crude oil prices. Interestingly, these prices are unlikely to move in the same direction.

Over the past 12 months, Ozempic and similar drugs have been hailed in the news as miracle solutions for rapid weight loss with minimal side effects. Weight loss often happens because of the changes in food and beverage consumption that these drugs trigger. In this episode of Consumer Foods to Go, Maria Castroviejo and Cyrille Filott discuss the impact of GLP-1 drugs on the food sector with podcast regular Nick Fereday.

Private label growth is primed to accelerate in the US

2024/11/28

Private label now has close to 20% market share in US food retail. This is much lower than the share in the UK and other European markets, where private label commands 40% or more. However, private label growth in the US is accelerating. Consumers are demanding affordable products, partly because of the cost-of-living crisis. Growth is not constrained by demand, though. The quality of supply is the constraint. What we notice is that the quality of private label products is improving because

In this episode of Consumer Foods to Go, Maria Castroviejo and Cyrille Filott speak with Sebastiaan Schreijen to discuss the findings of his survey on the potential adoption of robots in food processing.

Once again, RaboResearch visited the Private Label Manufacturers Association's (PLMA) World of Private Label trade show in Amsterdam. This year, we interviewed visitors and exhibitors on the topic of innovation. Innovation is high on the agenda for anyone active in packaged foods. Brands have lost market share to private label, so they need to come up with new products to lure the consumer back.

Professors David Raubenheimer and Stephen Simpson argue in their book, Eat Like the Animals, that over the course of recent decades the share of calories from protein in people's diets has declined (especially in the US). RaboResearch's Nick Fereday covered the topic in a recent report that generated quite some feedback. Therefore, we invited the professors to explain their hypothesis in greater detail.
