The Fact.MR study offers in-depth analysis on the key factors influencing tilapia sales. Key insights from the report:

  • China, the largest producer of tilapia, accounted for nearly 28% of global production in 2017
  • Production is increasing in Egypt and Indonesia – collectively, these two markets accounted for over 36% of global production in 2017
  • Declining consumption in key markets are putting strains on profit margins of key players
  • Low profit margins are influencing tilapia farmers to focus on other specialty fishes, such as pangasius
  • The sluggishness in US tilapia consumption is offset, to a certain degree, by increase in Russian Federation and increasing domestic consumption
  • Tilapia exports remain concentrated in the frozen variety – over 80% of total US demand for tilapia was for frozen variants
  • Sensing the weak demand in US, Asian producers are focusing on increasing their footprint in domestic markets

China: The World’s Largest Producer of Tilapia 

China remains the single largest supplier of tilapia to the world, however, it is facing increasing competition from other Asian countries, including Bangladesh, Vietnam, Egypt, and Indonesia. Faced with declining demand in the US, Chinese producers are focusing on increasing their footprint in Africa. Further, rising domestic demand in China has also offset some of the weakness encountered due to declining consumption in the US.

Tilapia Production by Key Countries (‘000 KT)
2015 A 2016 A 2017 A 2022 F 2028 F
Greater China 1,850 1,930 1,989 2,313 2,580

United States: The World’s Largest Consumer of Tilapia

Tilapia sales in the US are witnessing a decline, after gaining popularity as a low-cost seafood option for Americans. Although tilapia is still one of the popular seafood varieties in the US, the overall decline in frozen food products is rubbing off on tilapia as well. The escalating US-China trade war can have an impact on tilapia sales in the US, as China is one of the largest exporters to the US. According to the Fact.MR study, sales of fresh/chilled tilapia fillets and whole tilapia is likely to witness a decline in the US.

Tilapia Market: A Highly Fragmented Landscape 

The tilapia market remains highly fragmented, with tier III companies accounting for over 50% revenue share. Consumer preference towards fresh tilapia is met through domestic production, especially in China and Asian countries, especially in countries where consumption is less than production. Further, stringent regulations on the export of tilapia mean that small fish farmers rely on local sales.

According to the Fact.MR study, product diversification and compliance to regulations in developed countries are the key focus areas of Tier I and Tier II players. These players are also focusing on issues that are of paramount importance to their target audience, such as eco-labeling and low use of antibiotics.

The Fact.MR study on the tilapia market tracks the business and product strategies of the key producers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. The key companies profiled in the Fact.MR report include,

  • Baiyang Aquatic Group
  • Blue Ridge Aquaculture, Inc.
  • Global Fish
  • Guangdong Guomei Aquatic Products Co.
  • Hainan Sky-Blue Ocean Foods Co.
  • Hainan Xiangtai Fishery Co.
  • Hanjiang Evergreen Aquatic Product Science and Technology Co Ltd.
  • Hebei Zhongjie Tilapia Breeding Co. Ltd.
  • Mazzetta Company, LLC.
  • Northern Tilapia Inc.
  • Sunshine Tilapia Corp.
  • Til-Aqua International
  • Tongwei Co.

Study: Increasing preference for convenience and premium #food products among European consumers results in the increasing use of emulsifiers

Leave a comment

DUBLIN 2, Ireland, 11-Oct-2018 — /EPR FOOD & BEVERAGE NEWS/ — The unwavering consumer focus on personal variables such as effects of aging, being conscious about self-image and physical attractiveness has been capitalized by personal care product manufacturers, and as an outcome, new personal care and cosmetic products are introduced to the market on every day basis. Furthermore, personal care and cosmetic product manufacturers have also shifted towards ingredients that impart multi-functional properties to products. Among various types of such ingredients, including but not limited to, modifiers, emollients, and stabilizers, emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers are witnessing a surge in demand, especially from the cosmetics and personal care in Europe. According to a Fact.MR study, Europe accounts for nearly 40% revenue share of the global emulsifier and co-emulsifier market.

Food emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers are classified into broader categories i.e. synthetic and natural emulsifiers or bio-based emulsifiers. According to the Fact.MR study, of the total 464 KT demand for emulsifier and co-emulsifier in Europe in 2017, the difference between bio-based emulsifier and synthetic emulsifier was insignificant. Synthetic emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers lead the pack currently, however, demand for bio-based variants is encouraging, signifying shifting consumer preferences.

Bio-based emulsifiers have the advantages of being economic to the scale of production, are non-toxic, and easy to handle. According to Fact.MR’s study, demand for bio-based emulsifiers is likely to witness a surge on account of these attributes. However, the study opines that challenges, especially large volume needed to be effective as emulsifier, along with the need for preservative while using these natural emulsifiers can stymie uptake.

Although the Fact.MR study remains bullish on the long-term prospects of emulsifier and co-emulsifier market, adoption of feasible alternatives by the food processing and personal care industry can impede growth. The effectiveness of new baking enzymes, such as lipases & transglutaminase, can offset the demand for emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers. This enzyme helps in cross-linking the gluten proteins as well as improves the stability and consistency of the dough. Enzymes are proving to be a better alternative to emulsifiers owing to their cost-effectiveness. These enzymes are of utmost importance with regards to mixing, handling and fermentation stages of dough.

The myriad properties of emulsifiers — stabilized emulsions, homogeneity in creams and solutions, and stabilization in the anti-aging as well as hydrating creams — make these a perfect fit as an ingredient. Additionally, the market actors at different nodes in the value chain understand the relevance of keeping product development in sync with the end user demand, be it the base ingredient or additives for formulation. For instance, as skin care formulations are becoming stronger, formulators are focusing on manufacturing multi-functional and effective emulsifiers that enable development of sophisticated personal care products.

Europe’s Food Sector Energizing Emulsifier Demand

Emulsifiers also find application as a food additive, wherein these are used for maintaining product quality by retaining the fat content. Increasing incidences of food borne diseases has pushed food processors to use emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers of different source, grade, and quality.

Increasing preference for convenience and premium food products among European consumers is resulting in the increasing use of emulsifiers. Demand for emulsifiers has also received a fillip on account of the broader health and wellness trend, as emulsifier use can help manufacturers reduce fat content while improving texture and taste.

Along with fat retention, emulsifiers also help maintain overall quality of the food, which has boosted their uptake in the food processing industry.

Food brands across Europe are increasing the use of emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers in their products, to prolong shelf life, reducing enzyme attack kinetics as well as prevent food decomposition. FDA and several other organizations have enacted a set of safety norms in order to regulate the use of food preservatives. Industry leaders in food processing and ingredient supply are investing in research and development for formulations that are healthy, and do not carry risk of side-effects – Cargill’s new innovation of de-oiled canola lecithin in its product range of emulsifiers stands as an apt example.

Golden Spoon Unveils New Website to Revitalize Brand

Leave a comment

Golden Spoon, the popular Southern California frozen yogurt company, unveiled their hip new website highlighting the chain’s Southern California roots, it’s famous creamy taste, and even the frozen yogurt’s health benefits. “ We’ve only just begun to renew our brand and bring it back to life; the website is a reflection of what is to come,” said Golden Spoon’s CEO Roger Clawson.

Golden Spoon is Southern California’s original frozen yogurt. The look of the new website is simple and fresh, just like their ingredients, with classic Southern California beach images highlighting Golden Spoon’s heritage. It started in 1981 as a remodel of a health food store in Tustin, California, and has grown into a worldwide brand with an extremely loyal following. You can read all about the journey in the “About Us” section on the site.

The website spotlights the healthy attributes of Golden Spoon’s product made with real fruit and real milk , including full nutritional information for both low-fat and non-fat flavors. Another handy feature allows you to compare the nutritional value of Golden Spoon frozen yogurt to other foods such as ice cream, granola bars and smoothies.

The website is also a great place to find out about new flavors and new additions, like thenew eco-friendly yogurt cups, which biodegrade in only 21 days. Along with the new design and eco-friendly cups, Golden Spoon is also introducing a revolutionary new pricing method, one without scales. Most competing frozen yogurt stores provide one over-sized cup for customers to fill with yogurt and toppings, and the cup is priced based on the total weight. You never know what your dessert will cost you until it is too late, and it’s very easy to go over-budget.

Golden Spoon is changing all that with an innovative, industry-first pricing structure they have trademarked as “Weightless Pricing.” Customers pay a single, fixed price for one of three cup sizes, then fill it with as much yogurt and as many toppings as they wish. Three stores, including Irvine, La Costa and Carlsbad, will launch the new store concept on May 12, 2012 with free yogurt all day.

And, if all the flavors and toppings are not enough variety, customers can also choose their service level. Tell a Golden Spoon “concierge” employee what you have in mind, and then relax as they swirl your yogurt and bring it to your table. Or, you can opt for a “hands-on” experience and create your own masterpiece.

“My father, Jeff Barnes, is the founder of Golden Spoon.  Since I can remember, the stores have always looked the same,” said Reed Barnes, Golden Spoon’s Director of Training.  “As an

owner of two stores, including the original Golden Spoon location in Lake Forest, I love the new direction, the new look and the new store concept.  It couldn’t be a better time to be a part of Golden Spoon Franchising.”

Golden Spoon Expands To Qatar

Leave a comment

Golden Spoon Franchising, the franchising arm of the largest frozen yogurt brand in Southern California, announced the signing of an agreement with the M.H. Al Mana Group of Companies to develop the Golden Spoon franchise throughout Qatar. The agreement is for the opening of eight or more stores over the next five years. Three stores are currently open in the Doha market area with five more to follow. The fourth location is expected to be open by April 30th with two more slated for the end of June 2012. The final two will open by the end of August 2012 for a total of eight stores.

“Signing the agreement to enter the Qatar market demonstrates our commitment to make Golden Spoon a leading global brand,” said Golden Spoon Franchising CEO Roger Clawson. “Our successful launch into Japan and the Philippines helped validate Golden Spoon’s international expansion into the Middle East Region and built our brand’s exposure worldwide. We look forward to replicating that success in Qatar with the M.H. AL Mana Group and throughout the GCC with other professional, multi-unit franchise developer groups.” Clawson said he plans to continue the health-conscious frozen yogurt brand’s worldwide expansion by signing master franchise agreements in the UAE, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait within the next 12 months. Golden Spoon also has its sights on key markets in Asia such as China, India and Vietnam.

“Golden Spoon is the only worldwide brand selling authentic frozen yogurt. Unlike most of our worldwide competitors, we insist that all of our products are produced and shipped from our dairy. The rest of the industry falls short by generally serving a reconstituted powdered mix that attempts to taste like their original U.S. product. The difference in taste, quality and overall value has set us apart for almost 30 years. One taste and you will know why we have led the industry since 1983,” said Clawson.

“Signing with the M.H. Almana Group of Companies is a great win for Golden Spoon,” Clawson said. A proven multi-unit developer and operator, the M.H. Almana Group of Companies has already developed a famous U.S. restaurant brand in Qatar. The M.H. Almana Group of Companies has many years of successful experience in retail operations. “We explored many franchising opportunities to add to the M.H. Almana Group of Companies family, and Golden Spoon matched well with our focus on bringing in brands that will be of value to the people in Qatar,” Abdulaziz Al Mana stated. “We feel Golden Spoon’s focus on local communities and its commitment to providing premium products at a great price creates an opportunity that is too good to pass up.” Golden Spoon’s community-centric focus adapts their model and flavors to fit varying cultures across the globe, all while maintaining a consistent and credible quality product.

When asked if any flavors would be developed to cater to the local taste palette, Clawson said apricot and additional regionally popular flavors would soon be added to the current menu. “However, we anticipate that our traditional Western flavors will also be popular.”
