POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES TO CAPITALISE ON FORECASTED GROWTH IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS THE FOOD-TO-GO MARKET WILL BE WORTH £21.2 BILLION IN 2019, RISING 3% COMPARED TO 2018• Food-to-go is outperforming the overall eating-out market and is set to account for almost a quarter of total eating out spend. This is attributed to its greater affordability, which makes it attractive to today’s cash-strapped consumer• While food-to-go is expected to grow 1.8% in 2019, this is a smaller rise than in previous yearsOVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS THE FOOD-TO-GO SECTOR IS EXPECTED TO ADD £2 BILLION TO ITS VALUE, REACHING £23 BILLION IN 2022• This growth is driven by the growing time pressures faced by the UK’s workforce as well as widening accessibility• Winners will be operators and retailers who impress on the core needs of speed, value and quality, but we believe growing opportunities will also be presented through innovating around the emerging trends for more conscious consumerism & ultra-convenience• With key younger adult consumers in particular looking to be more responsible in terms of their health and the wider environment, and also wanting technology-led time-saving solutions, the next few years promises to be an exciting period as the market adapts and evolvesFOOD-TO-GO IN CONVENIENCE RETAIL IS EXPECTED TO RISE TO £0.5 BILLION OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS• Convenience stores can expect to see a total of £6.2bn in 2019, making up around 30% of the total food-to-go market• However, convenience stores are losing market share to more specialist foodservice food-to-go operators, so that despite continuous growth in food-to-go, the share held by convenience retail has declined slightly since 2013PRICE, CONVENIENCE AND QUALITY ARE THE KEY TRENDS THAT RETAILERS NEED TO FOCUS ON TO BOLSTER THEIR SHARE IN THE FOOD-TO-GO SECTOR• Lunch and snack occasions are dominated by the grocery retailers; however, consumers are placing greater importance on range, in particular healthier options. Those retailers that are seeing great success in food-to-go are offering a variety of hot and cold options that cater to the needs of their particular shoppers.• Expect more growth to come in breakfast, healthy snacks, hot food, global food and plant-based offerings – exciting times ahead for food-to-go!We’ll be bringing you our new Monthly Insights feature every month in Bakers’ Blend, so make sure to check back in May if you don’t want to miss out! New Feature8 | walkerhumphreyltd.co.ukBakers’ Blend | April 2019RENSHAW PREMIUM COVER PASTERenshaw Premium Cover Paste is a slightly firmer and more elastic paste than covering paste. It softens down easily but retains a firmness and stretch which is ideal for covering larger and deeper cakes.RENSHAW COVERING PASTERenshaw Covering Paste has a softer texture, is quick to knead and is soft setting with a sweet vanilla flavour. This icing is perfect for smaller single tier cakes.RENSHAW PROFESSIONALRenshaw Professional is a versatile icing suitable for a wide range of applications, from covering and sheeting, to simple modelling and sculpted cakes. To add extra interest to your cakes you can emboss, model or mould with our icing. It will set quite firmly whilst retaining a soft texture under the top skin. RENSHAW EXTRARenshaw EXTRA is new to the UK, but this European style icing has been a huge hit in Europe. EXTRA is extra firm and extra elastic and is a very versatile icing. It can be rolled out very thinly and is ideal for larger and deeper cakes. The extra elasticity is great for sculpted cakes too, and it can also be used for simple models and flowers.WHICH RENSHAW SUGARPASTE IS BEST FOR WHAT TYPE OF CAKE?Renshaw White Covering Paste Code: ICE-WCP01 Pack size: 2x2.5kg ONLY £8.75Renshaw Premium White Covering Paste Code: ICE-PWC01 Pack size: 2x2.5kg ONLY £9.95Renshaw White Pro Icing Code: REG-WHI01 Pack size: 2x2.5kg ONLY £14.76Renshaw Extra White Icing Code: REG-WHI08 Pack size: 2x2.5kg ONLY £12.20Bakers’ Blend | April 2019T: 01977 682 333 | 9Hello,As we welcome April, hopefully it will bring plenty of sunshine along with its eponymous showers. With Easter fast approaching, hopefully your seasonal production is in full swing but if not, we have plenty of new lines to offer you lots of inspiration.You can’t talk about Easter without mentioning chocolate but with healthy eating a major trend and reduced sugar targets for 2020, it seems harder than ever to encourage customers to indulge. This is where Ecl1pse from Barry Callebaut comes in. Ecl1pse only has 1% added sugar, but with double the cocoa and milk content of other milk chocolates, Ecl1pse is darker, smoother and creamier than any other milk chocolate. It is suitable for most applications where milk chocolate would normally be used including a full range of bakery, patisserie and confectionery where a reduction in sugar may be required.Toffee is another confectionery favourite with its traditional taste having a cross generational appeal. We are now offering Bake-Stable Toffee Pieces; these 2-10mm pieces remain chewy after baking to give products an authentic texture. Perfect for baking into shortbreads or cookies, as well as many other recipes they come in a handy 5kg pack size. More information can be found on our WH monthly offers’ page.If we didn’t have enough confectionery already, Puratos have recently launched five new lines for this summer. Two new limited-edition Satin Crème Cake Mixes - Summer Berries and Buckwheat are available alongside classic favourites such as chocolate, lemon, and toffee. Puratos have also added to their Topfil range with new Blackcurrant and Hibiscus, which seems to draw inspiration from summer iced teas and, to truly evoke summer, the classic combination of flavours usually accompanying Pimms, Strawberry, Cucumber and Mint. Finally, Puratos have introduced a new Scone Mix to their line-up. This mix, with buttery notes is in fact suitable for vegans but still has the classic taste and texture we are all familiar with.If you ever want a new product, please feel free to contact myself or your customer service representative to discuss your requirements.Dan Watson, Purchasing ManagerNew ProductsThis April...CSM (United Kingdom) Ltd Stadium Road | Brombrough | CH62 3NUwww.csmbakerysolutions.comStrawberry or Lemon Crembel£5.00 OFFIn five fantastic flavours, Craigmillar Crembel Fudge Icings give bakers the flexibility to meet different decorating requirements.Pipe, dip, flood or beat to create a frosting and use on a range of confectionery linesCode Product Size Offer PriceSYR-LEM01 Natural Lemon Crembel 12.5kg £29.50SYR-STR01 Natural Strawberry Crembel 12.5kg £29.50Next >
