Analyst Opinion

In many cultures across the world, spreads, such as jelly, marmalade, and peanut butter, are considered to be an integral part of breakfast. The crucial role of spreads in morning meals has been one of the key driving factors for the growth of this segment. Even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it witnessed a rise in sales as consumers stockpiled products such as jellies and cheese spreads amid pandemic-related anxiety. The Spreads & Sweeteners segment experienced a slight decline in 2022. This drop can be attributed to production and supply chain issues amid the Russia-Ukraine war; however, it is expected to recover in the near future.

The industry is expected to be driven by innovations in flavor and nutritional value, which particularly appeal to the health-conscious demographic. A notable example of this is the mid-2022 U.S. release of the all-natural peanut butter spread from the Icelandic company GOOD GOOD, which was advertised as being nearly sugar-free and containing dietary fibers from chicory root, resulting in a low carb count.
