UK: Ice Cream, Sorbet And Frozen Yogurt Market To Hit £1bn This Year
New figures from Mintel show that the UK ice cream, sorbet and frozen yogurt market has withstood the economic difficulties in the UK and is estimated to be worth £1bn in 2011 - up from £998m in 2010 and £975m in 2006. And it appears consumer demand is not set to thaw in the future either - as Mintel forecasts the ice cream market to grow even further, increasing by 11% to 2016, to reach a total of £1.13bn.
Kiti Soininen, Senior Food and Drink Analyst at Mintel, said: “Ice cream enjoys a strong market position in the UK. Typically eaten as a treat, the category has benefited from the rising demand for affordable treats brought in by the recession. As consumers are expected to remain cautious, the market looks well-positioned to continue to benefit from this. We all need a quick emotional pick-me-up on occasion – and sometimes we want it in consumable form.”
Eaten by around nine in 10 consumers (89%), the ice cream market has remained resilient to recessionary pressures. Indeed, it seems that the tighter money becomes, the more people look for evenings in and indulging themselves - supporting demand for ice cream. Nearly two thirds (63%) of Brits choose an ice cream as a treat and a quarter (24%) say they eat them on a night in or as a dessert when having guests (23%).
Moreover, it appears today’s consumers expect more than the usual chocolate and vanilla flavour varieties. Just under half (49%) of Brits claim that they like to try new flavours rather than stick to the same one all the time, while a similar number (46%) are interested in unusual or exotic flavours. A further three in 10 (28%) consumers cite high quality of ingredients as purchase driver of the frozen treat.
“Our consumer research suggests opportunities for brands to engage consumers through factors other than price.

Popcorn for Packing! - Arbour Realty

ShareLast week I was having a conversation with a friend who is currently living in Turkey. She is worried about sending gifts home for the holidays without them being broken. Like me she is concerned with environmental issues and the impact that our everyday decisions have on Mother Earth’s well-being .
Her main frustration is where she can buy eco-friendly mail packaging . Popcorn is my response to her, initially she thinks I have gone completely mad, then once she realizes that I am not suggesting flavoring it with butter, she jumps for joy. Popcorn is a great environmentally friendly package filler . It is a natural product and when it arrives at its intended destination can be fed to the birds, which in turn will reduce the waste that ends up on a daily basis in the landfill sites .
Next time you mail a package consider using popcorn instead of the traditional Styrofoam chips. As many companies still continue to use Styrofoam chips and I would recommend recycling them by reusing for future packaging, but when you need new packing material, pull out the popcorn kernels and start popping.
