1998 BIGGEST BRANDS SECTOR SURVEY: The UK’s Biggest brands by sector - In part two of our top brands survey, Jane Bainbridge and James Curtis review the best-selling fmcg brands by sector

This week, in the second part of our annual Biggest Brands survey covering the 52 weeks to April 18 1998, we look at how the leading branded fmcg goods are doing in their respective sectors. The survey, carried out by Marketing in conjunction with ACNielsen, offers a unique insight into how individual sectors are faring.

This week, in the second part of our annual Biggest Brands survey

covering the 52 weeks to April 18 1998, we look at how the leading

branded fmcg goods are doing in their respective sectors. The survey,

carried out by Marketing in conjunction with ACNielsen, offers a unique

insight into how individual sectors are faring.



It reveals which brands are rising and falling, where own-label is

mounting the biggest challenge and where innovative newcomers are

causing established names the most trouble.



Those that invest in npd and are constantly introducing new innovations

are coming out on top. Pot desserts is the fastest-growing sector, with

many of the familiar brand owners expanding into new variants and quirky

kids’ products.



Meanwhile the phenomenal success of Stella Artois is reflected in the

beer category as a whole, which comes in as the second fastest-growing

sector. No doubt its success is partly to blame for the fall in the

spirits market - down 2.7%. Similarly Whiskas’ poor performance is less

surprising when seen in the context of the pet-food sector’s 7%

decline.



POT DESSERTS ... 11.7%



This is a vibrant sector, encompassing yoghurt, fromage frais and

chilled desserts. Luxury and health are the driving factors in this

sector and yoghurts continue to perform most strongly. Onken, one of

this year’s fastest-growing brands, has done particularly well,

increasing sales by 43.1% year on year. Its combination of health and

luxury suggests it is hitting the right note with consumers who like to,

as it were, have their cake and eat it.



St Ivel is the other strong performer. Its growth was stimulated by the

re-launch of the Shape and Cadbury chilled dessert brands, both of which

did well in 1997-98. Shape is now a formidable brand in this sector,

with the chilled dessert, yoghurt and fromage frais variants notching up

combined sales of pounds 159.5m and posting growth of 28.3%.



Fromage frais is the area to suffer most in pot desserts, with Eden

Vale’s Munch Bunch dropping sales. Yoplait has bucked this trend with

its children’s brands Frubes and Petits Filous. Muller, which has a good

track record in innovative formats, is launching its own children’s

fromage frais, Yogz.



BEER ... 9.6%



Stella is the undisputed star of this sector, growing 31% and racing up

last week’s table of mega brands. This is the third year running it has

put in a strong showing, although the figures have been criticised by

the brewers of the big on-trade sellers - particularly Carling - which

claim their brands are bigger.



This year we have provided on-trade equivalent figures to balance things

up. This shows that Carling, Foster’s and Heineken are all bigger than

Stella in terms of on-trade sales, but not off, where Stella continues

to rule. According to ACNielsen’s latest figures, Stella is now the UK’s

favourite take-home alcoholic drink.



Budweiser is yet to count the effect of its World Cup sponsorship, but

factors such as the launch of Bud Light in February could have an

impact.



A downturn in dark-ale drinking in favour of lager has made life harder

for Boddingtons. In the on-trade sector, the brand still lags behind

Stones, Worthington, Tetley’s and John Smith’s.



PERSONAL CARE ... 9.4%



Colgate is the star performer in terms of sales, moving up into first

place from last year’s third spot. But the big story is that Procter &

Gamble’s Always replaces Tampax as the number-one sanpro brand - a

significant indicator of the changing preferences of female consumers.

In ad terms P&G, which bought Tambrands last year, has put double the

money behind Always.



Elida Faberge’s Lynx, which stays fourth despite increasing its sales by

13%, is neck and neck with stablemate Sure.



BABY CARE ... 9.3%



Pampers and Huggies stay on top. Pampers is bolstered by an pounds 11.6m

ad spend through Saatchi & Saatchi, which outguns Huggies on pounds 9.7m

through Ogilvy & Mather.



Success for Huggies in the UK is crucial to Kimberley-Clark as the rest

of Europe is nothing like as profitable. At this rate it could knock

Pampers off the top next year.



Cow & Gate has relaunched its food range as Olvarit and is supporting it

with a pounds 1m ad campaign starting this month.



INTERNATIONAL FOOD ... 8.2%



The boom in international food is being fuelled by more adventurous

eating habits and a trend toward convenience food and snacking.



Van den Bergh’s Ragu is making ground on Dolmio, but the Mars-owned

Master Foods leader continues to out-advertise and out-grow its rival.

Both brands are benefiting from high demand for Italian pasta

sauces.



The rest of the table looks very different this year because ACNielsen

has improved and broadened its coverage of the international food

sector.



It now includes savoury rice and prepared pasta, which explains the

appearance of the two Batchelors brands at positions seven and nine.



BISCUITS ... 7.4%



There’s not a huge amount happening here, except the blitzkrieg

performance of Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain. In association with npd

specialists Dragon International, Kellogg has created a new category

with Nutri-Grain and there are bound to be imitators not too far

behind.



After Cadbury’s Chocolate Fingers, McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes is the other

fast grower, moving up from fifth to third spot. McVitie’s has extended

the Jaffa Cakes brand to include a ’six-pack’ variant that is convenient

for children’s lunchboxes.



SOFT DRINKS ... 3.2%



With the top six in this year’s league all unchanged from last year,

things have not changed dramatically in the soft-drinks sector.

Tropicana - one of this year’s fastest growers - is the only new entry.

The brand has just been sold by Seagram to PepsiCo. PepsiCo’s plans for

Tropicana are still unclear, although it is likely to receive much

heavier marketing support than previously.



Massive marketing initiatives continue to drive this sector. Pepsi

continues to lag a long way behind Coke, whose drive to ’own’ football

has been a particular success.



OTC ... 2.2%



Nicorette and Nurofen are the two stars of this sector. Nicorette’s rise

must be connected to the fall in the number of people smoking, or at

least an increase in the number trying to give up. Its latest

innovation, the Nicorette inhaler, surely works on the premise that

people will give up quicker to avoid the embarrassment of being seen

sucking on it in public.



Nurofen just missed the cut for this year’s 20 fastest-growing brands -

its second strong performance in two years but with half the ad spend,

according to ACNielsen Meal’s figures. Consistent line extensions have

kept the brand moving since its launch in 1983, including Cold & Flu,

Plus, Caplets and Advance.



PAPER PRODUCTS ... 2.2%



Fort James will be celebrating this year, with two of its paper brands,

KittenSoft Kitchen Towels and Nouvelle Toilet tissue, coming out as the

first and second fastest-growing brands of 1997-98.



Fort James, which was formed by the merger of US manufacturers James

River (which owned Dixcel) and Fort Howard (Nouvelle), is now the

world’s second-largest tissue manufacturer after Kimberly-Clark.

Kimberly-Clark and SCA continue to dominate with Andrex and Kleenex,

although the Kleenex toilet tissue brand is one of the biggest fallers

in this year’s survey.



HOT BEVERAGES ... 2%



There is no change in the pecking order in this sector, with all ten

brands in the same positions as last year. Van den Bergh may well

question the success of the 1996 PG Tips Pyramid Bag launch, given that

sales of the brand have dropped by nearly 7%. The only tea brands to be

increasing sales are premium Yorkshire and Twinings.



As for coffee, it continues to take share away from the tea brands.

Nescafe and Gold Blend are still top of the tree and growing, but not as

fast as Kenco, which has almost doubled its ad spend from last year to

bring it almost onto a par with the lavishly advertised Gold Blend.



FABRIC CARE ... 0.7%



Ariel still leads the pack but having dropped 10% has a fight to keep

ahead of Lever’s Persil, which seems to have shaken off the Persil Power

fiasco. P&G has five products in the top ten compared to Lever’s

four.



The only change from last year is that P&G’s Dreft has dropped off the

bottom to be replaced by Benckiser’s Vanish.



The launch of Persil tablets is too recent to influence this year’s

survey.



CRISPS AND SNACKS ... -0.3%



Despite Pringles’ phenomenal growth this year, the crisps and snacks

sector seems to have peaked. In the 1997 Biggest Brands survey, the

sector was the second fastest grower, expanding by 17%. This year it has

come to a halt, probably caused by a lack of new-product

development.



Walkers remains the market leader but even its sales have dropped from

last year, along with almost every other brand in the category. Monster

Munch has lost its number-ten slot to KP Nuts.



CIDER ... -1.0%



This is the first year cider has been included in the survey and both

off- and on-trade figures are listed, although the brands are ranked by

off-trade sales. Bulmer dominates the sector with its Strongbow

brand.



While the alcopop craze initially hit the cider market, it has also

suffered at the hands of a resurgent beer market. Some industry

observers think the sector is on a permanent downward spiral but there

are some strong brands still performing well.



CONFECTIONERY ... -1.6%



Wrigley’s Extra chewing gum continues to outgrow all the other brands in

the list, with a 9.4% growth. Its association with dental health has

been a factor in this success.



Nestle, Cadbury and Mars remain the dominant companies behind the

leading products in the sector. Kit Kat and Mars Bar remain the leading

brands but both have suffered from the wealth of new products to hit the

confectionery market.



CEREALS ... -1.9%



The cereal maestro, Kellogg, has clearly suffered at the hands of

own-label during the past year. With the exception of Special K, all its

brands suffered a drop in sales. However, Corn Flakes has held on to the

top slot despite a sales decline of nearly 8%.



CANNED FOOD ... -2.3%



Heinz still dominates the canned food sector, but even its strong brand

name has not been sufficient to halt the decline of this category. All

brands in this sector bar two saw their sales drop this year.



Own-label has hit this sector hard, forcing big brands like Heinz to

respond. It has done so by steadily investing in its TV advertising

through Bates Dorland.



John West products have dipped but Heinz, which bought the canned fish

brand from Unilever last year, is putting pounds 3m into a TV ad

campaign created by Leo Burnett. It is the first time in seven years

that the brand has been on TV.



SPIRITS ... -2.7%



While still on the decline, the spirits sector has at least halted the

rate of decline compared with last year’s 7.9% fall. Nonetheless, it is

clear the shift in drinking habits toward lager and wine remains a

factor.



Bailey’s continues to be the success story of the sector, recording an

11.9% growth. Gordon’s Gin has crept back up to the second slot. Its

owner, Diageo, recently announced a pounds 15m marketing package aimed

at boosting the Gordon’s brand.



CANNED PET FOOD ... -3.0%



Pedigree and Nestle-owned Spillers continue to fight it out in this

sector, with Spillers’ Felix showing growth of 2% and Whiskas declining

by 9.5%.



Data published in last week’s Top 50 table for this category has been

revised by ACNielsen for this week’s table to include new brand lines

for 1998, bringing sales for Whiskas up to number 19 in the Top 50

table, a fall of nine places since last year.



Industry predictions that pet food will become the latest own-label

target category seem to be coming true, with the cat-food sector being

heavily hit. Own-label products now account for almost 15% of the

cat-food market.



THE UK’S BIGGEST BRANDS METHOLOGY



ACNielsen’s comprehensive databases incorporates retail market tracking,

via the ACNielsen Retail Measurement Service, which provides the

definitive monitor of consumer sales. Scanning data and panel estimates

are integrated into the service, making it the fastest and most accurate

monitor of consumer sales anywhere in Europe.



Consumer purchasing analysis derived from Homescan, ACNielsen’s

electronic household panel, comprising 10,500 households throughout the

UK.



Weekly scanning data from Scantrack which provides rapid information on

consumer sales through the key account EPOS stores, enabling swift

evaluation of tactical marketing campaigns.



Market coverage and categories are as follows - Total Grocers: biscuits;

cakes; canned food; cereals; fabric care; household cleaners; hot

beverages; international food; paper products; pet food; pot desserts;

spreads. Co-op & Defined Multiple Grocers: frozen food.



Grocers, CTNs, Filling Stations & Off Licence: confectionery; crisps &

snacks; soft drinks. All Outlets: otc; personal care; fragrances.

Grocers & Pharmacies excl. Boots: baby care.



Total Off-licenced Trade: beer; cider; spirits.



Sales figures are quoted in pounds million within a range of pounds 5m

brackets except for the leading brands in each table and relate to the

52 weeks ending April 18 1998. A brand is identified as a collection of

products in the same product field sold under the same brand name.





TEN HOT BRANDS TO WATCH

                                                          pounds m sales

10    Go Ahead Confectionery      McVitie’s                    0.5 - 1.0



Without two full years of sales data, these ’hot’ new brands are some of

the fastest new launches off the blocks. It remains to be seen which of

them can sustain this pace over a longer sales period.



Unsurprisingly given the recent press coverage, Procter & Gamble’s Sunny

Delight comes out on top. Despite being criticised by the Food

Commission, the vitamin-enriched citrus drink has got off to a booming

start since its launch in April. The launch has been supported by a

pounds 9m European ad campaign created by Saatchi & Saatchi.



With the introduction of Nutri-Grain, Kellogg has successfully extended

its trusted reputation for cereals into a new product category.



Launched in May 1997 and now available in three variants, Nutri-Grain

has tapped into the time-pressured consumer’s need for ’breakfast on the

go’.



Mars has two new confectionery products in the list. Celebrations, its

miniature chocolate bar boxed selection is first, with Flyte, its

low-fat bar, at number eight.



Otherwise the confectionery sector continues to produce product

variations - this year’s winners include Nestle’s Maverick and Cadbury’s

Astros.
