Synthèse
The global jam market has seen a variety of trends, with a particular focus on reducing sugar content and the rise of organic products.
In 2020, premium jams accounted for 29% of the market by value and 19% by volume, with notable growth in the premium segment driven by Bonne Maman's Intense range. Organic jams achieved a market share of 12% in value and 8% in volume. Jam prices are influenced by the cost of raw materials, such as fruit, which rose by an average of 17% for the different types. Sugar prices, on the other hand, have fluctuated over the years, but recovered to around $445/tonne in July 2021 after an earlier slump. The French market, though small, is worthy of note, Bonne Maman dominating with a 35% market share by volume. French producers are important on the European market, as they are the third largest producer of fruit and vegetables in the EU, and 15% of fruit production is destined for the processing industries, including jams. French consumers have a strong interest in local produce, with 4 out of 5 expressing this sentiment, and 35% of them make jam at home. Regulations are strict in France, with precise definitions and labeling requirements for jams and related products, in line with DGCCRF guidelines.
Changing tastes in the French jam market:
In recent years, the French jam market has seen significant changes in consumer demand, reflecting wider trends towards healthier lifestyles and a penchant for local, artisanal products. Although jam is a staple in French households, the maturing of the market has led to a challenging environment where traditional players are working hard to maintain their share. Two key trends are at the heart of the market's evolution: the reduction in the sugar content of jams and the rise of organic products. In addition, innovative packaging, such as smaller jars to encourage consumers to try new flavors, has become a differentiating factor from the competition.
In terms of consumption, around 70% of French households buy jam around seven times a year, representing an annual consumption of 3 to 4 kilograms per household. The broader spread market, which includes honey and spreads alongside jam, saw modest growth of 0.6% in value terms to reach almost 800 million euros, despite a slight contraction in volume.
In addition, a growing interest in local products is evident, particularly among young people, with some 87% of young French people aged 15 to 30 favoring authentic, locally sourced foods. This enthusiasm for local products indicates a market where provenance is highly valued. Consumer demographics reveal distinct trends in jam consumption: children consume them around four times a week, mainly at snack time, while people over 50 enjoy sweet snacks throughout the day, with a preference for evening treats.
Consumption of sweet snacks is strongly focused on pleasure and temptation, accounting for over 60% of afternoon snacks and 77% of evening snacks, showing that, despite health trends, flavor and pleasure remain important to French consumers. However, not all the news is sweet; the number of jam consumers saw a 10% drop, from 22 to 24 million in 2014 to 21 to 23 million. This reflects wider dietary changes, including a decline in breakfast consumption. In the space of six years, the proportion of children and adults who skip breakfast at least once a week rose from 13% to 29% and 14% to 21% respectively. In terms of industry structure, there is a strong presence of both large-scale producers and smaller, independent players who make their mark through artisanal means.
Leading brands in the French retail sector include Bonne Maman, which alone accounted for 35% of market sales, and Andros.
