Five economic drivers to watchConsumers shiftto eat-at-homeproductsThe food and beverage industry isone of the few to have experienced asurge in demand as a direct result ofthe pandemic. Restrictions, includingthe closure of restaurants, resulted inconsumers purchasing more groceriesand even stockpiling them. Overall, foodmanufacturers saw sales increase by 1.8%between March and May 2020, whilesales in the overall manufacturing sectordeclined by 27%.78.9%Low demand from restaurantsspike in grocery spending inMarch, 2020 over the previousyear was triggered by consumersshifting to eat-at-home productsand stockpiling food due to fears ofshortages.and the hospitality sector continues as operator capacity is hinderedby government imposed lockdowns, the absence of large events andreduced tourism. Demand for food manufacturers will by supported byconsumers, who will continue to spend more in supermarkets in thenear term.20%Figure 1 : Grocery spending is still 20% higherthan last yearhigher grocery spending inNovember 2020 over the samemonth in 2019 indicates thatconsumers continue to spend moreon groceries.Canada, year-over-year, % changeGrocery spendingDining spending80%End of 202160%40%Even when restaurants reopen,restrictions will likely reduce theircapacity for at least a few months.Therefore, higher demand forgroceries will remain into 2021.

Five economic drivers to watchSocio-economicfactorsPopulation growth and rising incomes inCanada and around the world presenthuge opportunities for Canadian foodmanufacturers to position themselves asglobal leaders.10 billionProjected world population in 2050.In addition, a billion people will beadded to the middle class and, astheir incomes rise, they will spendmore on food. Demand for meat andother sources of protein is expectedto rise significantly in Asia and Africa.40 million Canadiansby 2025Canada’s population is expectedto grow by 6.3% over the next fiveyears.Increasing demandfrom internationalmarketswill be a key driver of industrygrowth. Demand for protein isforecast to increase by as muchas 70% by 2050. Canada has thepotential to become the secondlargest agri-food exporter in theworld after the United States. Newinitiatives such as Protein IndustriesCanada, a supercluster receivingfederal government and matchingindustry investment, will help supportthis high-growth sector.COVID-19 anddisposable incomeDuring a pandemic, economistswould normally expect a sharpdrop in household incomes.However, Canadian workerswho lost their jobs during theCOVID-19 pandemic saw theirincomes sustained by the CanadaEmergency Response Benefitand other government programs.As a result, disposable incomeincreased by 11.8% in the secondquarter of 2020, explaining, in part,the resilience of the food market.14.5%expected growth in disposableincome in Canada by 2025.Disposable income is forecast to riseat a faster pace over the next fiveyears. Higher levels of disposableincome will result in consumersincreasing their spending on higherquality, higher quantities and a morediverse array of food products.bdc.caFood and beverage manufacturing industry outlookHow changes in the economy affect Canadian food and beverage manufacturers8
Five economic drivers to watchCommodity pricevolatilityPoor weather, natural disasters, climatechange, disease and trade disputes canall disrupt commodity prices. Higheragricultural commodity and energy pricesare reflected in many inputs used byfood and beverage processors, includingingredients, packaging, production costsand transportation. Ingredient supplies,in particular, are vulnerable to pricefluctuations and are a major factor inbusiness profitability.bdc.ca65%Innovative strategyof food processors’ expenses, onaverage, come from raw ingredientsand inputs.The Farm ProductPrice Index (FPPI)measures price changes for rawagricultural products purchased byfood manufacturers in Canada. TheFPPI index rose sharply during the2011-12 period, driven by a 25%increase in crop prices. In 2014,potato prices jumped by 15% andcattle and hog prices increased 18%.In the last two years, volatility camemainly from meat and vegetableprices.Traditional responses to increases in ingredient prices have been to substituteingredients, operate on thinner profit margins and/or pass price increases onto consumers. Manufacturers can adopt more innovative strategies to mitigatecommodity price volatility through such moves as focusing on higher value-addedproducts, vertical integration and diversifying their product offerings.Figure 2: Gap narrows between selling prices and ingredient costsCanada, 3-months moving average, Index 2007 100Farm Product Price Index (FPPI)Industrial Product Price index forfood manufacturing (IPPI)145135125A narrowing gap115between selling prices for foodprocessors, as reflected in theIndustrial Product Price Index (IPPI),and ingredient costs over the lastyear has been positive for theindustry. Yet, elevated uncertainty inthe global economy could lead toheightened volatility in commodityprices going forward.105Food and beverage manufacturing industry 420152016201720182019202075Source: Statistics CanadaHow changes in the economy affect Canadian food and beverage manufacturers9
Five economic drivers to watchChangingconsumerpreferencesCanadian food and beverage processorscan no longer afford to compete on pricealone. Growing numbers of consumers aredemanding higher quality, locally sourcedand ethical products. This has promptedmany manufacturers to develop healthierversions of existing products and launchnew products. Companies that fail toadapt to these pressures may lose out tomore nimble competitors.27%Buy local movementof consumers are health consciousin Canada. Additionally, three in fourCanadians try to eat healthy.1drives Canadian consumers and food processors to source locallyproduced ingredients when available. An estimated 21% of Canadiansincreased their consumption of local products since the beginningof the pandemic, and 74% say they want to buy even more localproducts.Higher quality andnatural food productsChanging consumer preferences areboosting demand for healthy andorganic products, including foodfree from artificial ingredients andadditives, alternative protein sources,leaner meats, and low sugar and fatproducts.Transparencyis important to consumers. They now want to know more about thefood they eat, including how it was processed, where it came from andhow it was grown.Ethical consumersare another influential segment,demanding safe and sustainableproducts. There is increasingpressure on manufacturers to reducewaste in their operations, includingthrough progressive ingredientsourcing strategies and innovativepackaging. Ethical products are evenmore important for those under 35years of age.1.

Five economic drivers to watchAutomatingproductionand adoptingtechnologyThe industry is automating and makingbetter use of technology and data.Investments in these areas by Canadianfood and beverage processors can drivemajor productivity gains. While, overallbusiness investment is forecast to takearound two years to return to pre-crisislevels, investment by food processorsshould rebound faster. This will be drivenby a need to increase productivity and afavourable outlook for the industry.bdc.ca 3.2 billion capitalinvestmentLabour shortages, high wage inflationand strict social distancing protocolsin machinery and equipment in2019.

To remain competitive, manyoperators will have to invest in technology to automate aspects oftheir production processes and decrease labour costs.Lagging in tech adoption86%growth in investment in thelast five years, with particularlylarge increases in 2018 and2019. In comparison, the overallmanufacturing sector’s investmentgrew by only 23% over the sameperiod.While the industry has seen increasing investment in recent years,Canada’s food processors still have low rates of technology adoptioncompared to other countries. Companies that fail to embraceautomation, digitization and other technological advances willbecome increasingly less competitive.49%of firms in the food processingindustry invested in advancedtechnologies in 2017.Food and beverage manufacturing industry outlookHow changes in the economy affect Canadian food and beverage manufacturers11

What is the outlook for the food and beverage sector?Taking advantage of post-crisis trendsEvolving food demand, labour shortages as wellas a need to keep investing in new technologywill present both challenges and opportunities forbusinesses operating in this sector.Export diversificationEvolving food demandTight labour markets andevolving skill requirementsRethinking hallengeThe concentration of food exports in termsof products and trade partners is a traderisk to be monitored in an era of risingprotectionism and commodity price volatility.A growing middle class around the world isdemanding higher quality products, whilesocially conscious consumers want locallysourced and sustainable food.OpportunityOpportunityCanadian food processors face labourshortages. These shortages will intensifyas markets for Canadian products expand.Moreover, the skill sets required for thesector are evolving.A goal for the industry is to diversify itsproducts and trade partners away from theU.S. Firms should orient their diversificationstrategy toward the rising middle class indeveloping countries, which is creating newexport opportunities. Much of the futuregrowth will come from there.Market research and product developmentcan help companies determine customerneeds and what products will meet them.Companies that embrace new trends andinnovative products will position themselvesas preferred suppliers.Managing resources and processesrepresents a major challenge—one-thirdof global food production is lost in thesupply chain. Unexpected contingenciesdemand flexible provisioning and adequateinventory management systems, while varyingtemperature and humidity conditions requiresafeguarding supply chains.bdc.caFood and beverage manufacturing industry outlookOpportunityTo compete, companies will need to investin automation and digital logistics systems,as well as in training employees to work inincreasingly high-tech facilities.OpportunitySmart manufacturing has the potentialto drastically change the way processorsperform their operations.
