Abstract

This industry report assesses the reasons behind the high failure rate of new products with insights from industry executives, NPD specialists and branding/marketing specialists. It considers realistic NPD strategies and provides actionable recommendations that can be immediately integrated into your NPD process. Use this report to understand the essential elements in a successful product development procedure. Ultimately, it will help you define and refine your corporate strategy in terms of new product development.

This is not just another report telling you that around 90% of new products fail within the first six months of launch. Everyone is now well aware of the various failure rates that are bandied around in conferences and boardrooms. It will not just highlight the good, the bad and the ugly of new product launches in the food and drink industry (although it addresses these in light of best and worst practice scenarios). It provides realistic NPD strategies through to 2012.

Executive summary

Introduction

Chapter 1 Supply and demand - what comes first?
What comes first in NPD? Does the industry instigate new trends, such as the whole food revolution, or do the consumers lead it? Are manufacturers and retailers supplying new products to consumers to meet a general rather than a specific need, or are consumers demanding - and getting just what they asked for? This chapter assesses how retailers inject innovation and interest into the food and drink industry, and how they are responding to regulation changes and government campaigns. It also considers smaller, independent companies versus large multinationals. Are smaller, independent companies more proficient at meeting consumer demands than the larger multinationals?

Chapter 2 Getting to grips with a best-practice NPD process
This chapter identifies tried and tested idea generation methods, and offers insight into best and worst practice. The aim of this chapter is to inspire you to make that big bang in the industry. Following insight from a number of NPD experts and industry executives the chapter is segmented into eight unique stages with actionable recommendations to encourage implementation in your company.

Stage one: Idea generation
Stage two: Filtering the good from the bad
Stage three: Consumer insight
Case study: Kettle Foods in the US - asking the consumer
Stage four: Getting the whole team on board
Stage five: Putting the theory into practice
Stage six: Checking with the consumers
Stage seven: Product launch and promotion
Stage eight: Evaluation of product success

Chapter 3 The most important NPD strategy - consumer insight
The industry cannot and should not ignore consumer trends - whether they appear to be fads or not. Value and volume sales growth to 2012 will depend on the success of new product launches. just-food has selected nine top consumer trends that are expected to influence NPD in the global food and drinks market to 2012. This chapter will answer the following questions:

What are the top consumer trends in the global food market that are anticipated to influence NPD to 2012?
Which markets should we target in particular?
How important will the three megatrends of health, convenience and indulgence be by 2012?
Chapter 4 NPD trends in Asia and North America
One-size does not fit all in the case of food and drink around the world. There are clear regional variations in terms of consumers' perceptions of food, eating habits and purchase influencers. A new product launched for the Asian market typically needs tweaking before expansion into Europe or the United States. This chapter analyses key emerging NPD opportunities specific to the Asia-Pacific and North American regions such as the influence of immigration and ethnic cuisines, health, organic food, and the importance of trust in the Chinese food industry.

Chapter 5 Improving your chances of success
This chapter assesses successful strategies and disasters. It offers insight into the next generation of product development, branding and marketing techniques, and aims to improve your chance of success. It highlights the best and worst performers in 2005 and provides ten NPD 'strategies' to avoid and eight top strategies to improve your chances of success

Chapter 6 The next big thing
More and more new products are launched every year. Launching the 'next big thing' in food and drink is the ultimate goal of all NPD departments. The opportunities are endless; the difficult part is matching a niche to your company's skills and expertise, and following a best-practice NPD process to improve your chances of success in this hugely competitive environment. The final chapter highlights NPD opportunities to 2012 covering: Confectionery, dairy, drinks, chilled and frozen food and packaged food and gives conclusions with nine NPD trends to 2012.
