Dan Ice World 47th Issue – January 2019

Another year has gone by, and I would like to wish you great success and prosperity in 2019. The last few months have been turbulent. World stock markets

have been decreasing due to fear of recession. The dairy market has though experienced growth. As 2018 winded down, the milk production in major dairy-exporting regions slowed to a 1% gain over the previous year and dairy trade has picked up widely. Most of these regions face significant challenges heading into 2019. Fallout from U.S. trade, disputes with China and Mexico have cre-ated significant financial stress for U.S. dairy farms. Weakened economies in Asia, financial turmoil in Latin America and persistent drought in Australia continue to threaten dairies there. At the same time, stable conditions in New Zealand, and to some ex-tent in Europe, ensure that the world milk production will likely con-tinue to grow in 2019 - at least in the near term. The prices have continued their upward trends and SMP is being traded above 2100 EUR. Shortage of SWP is also pushing the whey

prices up. A failure to secure the supply for the season may have substantial consequences!

The vegetable oil market has been quite stable at lower levels and may ex-perience some upward movement.

Let us all hope for a successful year 2019.

Kind regards - Cameron Skandarioon How can we help you bringing the next great Business Opportunities to Life? Over the past few years, Tetra Pak teams have been working on a very unique approach. “We’ve been investing in the expertise and tools needed to boost the quality and speed of the entire journey of uncovering growth oppor-tunities and bringing these to life together with customer teams,” says Alexandre Carvalho. Alexandre, previously Global Director for Tetra Pak Marketing Ser-vices and now heading this role for Cluster Europe and Central Asia, explains that an important part of this journey is fast prototyping. Pictured here: At a recent event held at the Tetra Pak Customer Innovation Centre in Lund, Ronnie Kristensen, Area Sales Man-ager, Tetra Pak Ingredients Solutions (Danice), worked with the Tetra Pak Global and Cluster Marketing Teams to give a flavour of fast prototyping sessions.

Alexandre further says: “We put together our expertise in creating design and recipe concepts, using our most talented designers and working in close collaboration with the experts from Tetra Pak Ingre-dients Solutions in Denmark. Sessions take place with customer teams and we can come up with design sketches and recipes in as little as 12-15 minutes,” he explains. “We then go on to screen these concepts with consumers using online tool providers with which we have agreements in place.” “In 2 - 3 days spent with us at one of our Tetra Pak Customer Innovation Centres, a cus-tomer team literally walks away with design and recipe concepts with the potential to meet an opportunity and has a good indication on the ones which work best with target consum-ers,” he adds. There is, of course, a lot of pre-work going on before we get to the prototyping phase:

“We bring in our Business Insight and Analytics teams beforehand and will have been working with the customer teams to scout for business op-portunities and really understand what inspires and motivates each individual customer and for example their customers, their consumers, etc… Anything we do is tailored to each individual cus-tomer need or challenge,” he explains.

“It might be that a customer is looking to do something new or to improve an existing concept. Whatever, our teams are now geared to support across a range of areas including ideation, insights, branding, design, recipe facilitation, fast prototyping and digital pro-motion, for example,” he adds.

Food Stabilizers Market The food stabilizers (blends & systems) market is estimated at USD 2.3 billion in 2018, and to reach USD 2.8 billion by 2023 The growing demand for food has resulted in an increased demand for food stabilizers for dairy, bakery products, beverages, and con-venience food where dairy & dairy products led the market with the largest share in 2017. This is mainly because of the increase in the consumption rate of functional food and economic development in the emerging markets of the Asia Pacific region.
