  11. The Squeezed Middle

  12. Less disposable income & increased pressure from the rising cost of living • This has resulted in a marked change in shopper behaviour which looks set to stay- the rise of the Discounters and the squeezed middle is just one impact • Consumers are clearly managing the impact of inflation by maintaining tighter control over their budgets, seeking out the best deals and selective down trading- by either visiting cheaper supermarkets or buying cheaper products. i.e. private label instead of branded. • Shoppers reduce the size of their main weekly shop and visit the supermarket more frequently throughout the week, smaller top up shops, reducing waste and allowing for tighter control over their budgets. • This has had a knock on effect on promotional mechanics- Price reduction is now favoured over Y for £X and multibuy deals

  13. How has this impacted Fresh Chicken? Beef £6.68 / kg Lamb £8.67 / kg Pork £5.08 / kg Chicken £4.22 / kg In the same way that savvy shoppers have been trading down into cheaper supermarkets and less expensive products we have also seen switching into chicken from other proteins. This is as a result of both price and perceived health benefits. Source: Kantar Worldpanel, 52w/e 17th February 2013

  14. £11.72 Fresh Salmon Fillets Ave RSP £5.18 Fresh Pork Chops Ave RSP £10.46 Fresh Lamb Chops Ave RSP £4.97 Fresh Minced Beef Ave RSP £7.09 Fresh Turkey Breast Fillets Ave RSP £7.69 Fresh Chicken Breast Fillets Ave RSP £0.00 £2.00 £4.00 £6.00 £8.00 £10.00 £12.00 £14.00 However whilst chicken is cheapest overall… As the most popular cut of chicken, breast meat is expensive when compared to other popular cuts of protein

  15. As a result we have seen a shift in the interaction between tiers and individual cuts within Fresh Primary Chicken. Consumers have been switching spend from Organic and Free Range chicken into Standard and Value. Whilst breast meat sales remain strong there is a clear decline in penetration as shoppers switch into dark meat (+9.8% Value YoY) in favour of its lower price. Whole Birds are also popular for their lower £/Kg, leftovers can also be used to produce second meals or sandwiches. Source: Kantar Worldpanel, 52w/e 17th February 2013

  16. Fresh Primary Chicken YoY% Change Source: Kantar Worldpanel, 12w/e 17th February 2013 The rise of the Discounters has also been very evident in Fresh Chicken and they have been stealing spend from the Top 4…. The retailers have placed real emphasis on their quality credentials whilst maintaining low prices. They also generally opt for TPR mechanics over Y for £X and multibuy.

  17. What impact will the horse meat scandal have on Fresh Chicken? • Expect to see increased switching from Red Meat into Chicken- particularly whole muscle • No evidence to suggest that there has been any impact on individual retailers but will consumers become less trusting of those involved? • In the 12 weeks ending 17th February 2013 there was a 43% value reduction in frozen burger sales and a 13% value decline in frozen ready meals • Increase in the number of shoppers visiting butchers to purchase their fresh meat- It is likely that the scandal may impact value tiered products with consumers becoming unsure about the quality and source. • Tesco’s Value Fresh Chicken lines have decreased in value by 11% in the last 4 weeks YoY (w/e 17th February 2013) • The NFU has launched a ‘Buy British’ campaign encouraging shoppers to look out for the Red Tractor logo • Tesco have also announced that from July they will be sourcing all of their Fresh Chicken from British farms- as part of this they will also be committing to a 2 year contract with their producers.
