USEFUL LINKS
Ingredients
and industrial (semi finished) food products are typically manufactured
by food companies,
then sold to customers which are also food industries or professionnals
in food processing.
These later ones are simply located more "downstream"
than the first ones within the increasingly complex chain
of elaboration of the final food products eaten by people.
This
pattern is becoming increasingly relevant for a large proportion of
food manufacturers :
65 % are already regularly buying ingredients and
semi finished food products ;
40 % already sell such food products intended for
subsequent industrial use, although the percentage of their
global turnover represented by such sales may widely vary
from one company to another (from 100 % for BtoB
specialists down to a few % for some companies not yet fully
organized to develop this specific business)
The
growing demand for ingredients and semi finished foods is promoted
by various long-term trends :
*
Worlwide increase in consumption of ready-to-eat products and
of meals consumed outside home
* Increased diversity of products and of their culinary
inspirations, stimulated by the mobility of people and goods
* Evolutions of the food industry similarly to other businesses
(car industry, electronics...)
> Marketing & industrial specialization
on "core businesses and processes"
> Spreading of missions between final
assemblers of heavily marketed consumer foods, and upstream
providers
of specific food components,
services, or contract-operated processes
> Constraints of food hygiene and
safety, of environnement and profitability going against
the multiplication
of the processes within
a single food plant.
