Hello rollirish-ga,
My research shows that there is a tremendous amount of information
available about all aspects of the US refrigerated food industry.
Unfortunately, most of the detailed and specific information is
contained in very expensive market research reports. Below I?ve
included some of the most relevant reports for your special interest
in refrigerated soups, entrees and sauces. You can find very
comprehensive information in these if you can afford to buy the
report. Some of them may be available ?by the slice? so you can buy
just the section that interests you.
Even if you can?t afford to buy the whole report, you can gather lots
of details to provide you with an overview by studying the Abstract
and Table of Contents for the reports I?ve listed. Many of these
provide statistics about sales and growth rates, market trends and
competitive information and a list of the main companies in the field.
In addition to the market research reports, I?ve also found some
articles that discuss various aspects of the size of the US
refrigerated foods market. The statistics quoted in the articles and
press releases reporting on the market research reports provide some
industry statistics that should be useful to you. I?ve highlighted
these whenever I came across some meaningful numbers. I suggest that
you read the articles to get the full context for these.
The picture is confusing as to whether the market for refrigerated
prepared foods is growing or not. It is clear that consumers want food
that is easy to prepare. In recent years there was huge growth in Home
Meal Replacements. Originally, these were strictly meals that were
prepared outside the home and were ready to take home hot or simply
reheated. Grocery stores and supermarkets entered the home meal
replacement sector and offered products for take out mostly in their
deli sections. Recently refrigerated/chilled home meal replacements
have entered the picture. These include soups and entrees and are now
moving out of the deli department to the meat counter and other
sections. The market is not clearly defined and it is constantly
changing. Below I?ve included articles (and highlighted statistics
available) to help you understand these changes.
There are several drivers for the adoption of refrigerated prepared
foods by American households. There is a tremendous demand for
convenience foods and refrigerated take home meals that are easy and
quick to heat in the microwave are convenient for busy consumers.
There is a trend to smaller households and households not sitting down
to shared meals. Refrigerated prepared foods can be tailored to
individual tastes and needs.
Another noticeable selling point for refrigerated prepared foods is
the customer?s acceptance of these as healthy, fresh and wholesome.
Many of the producers of these products emphasize these factors in
marketing these products.
In addition, refrigerated prepared foods come in greater varieties
than the old frozen or canned products they replaced. It seems that
there is a demand for more interesting flavors and ethnic oriented
products that has led to innovation in this market.
Rollirish-ga, I trust that the information I?ve collected will meet
your needs. Please don?t hesitate to ask for clarification if any of
it needs further expansion or explanation.
Best wishes for your project.

Pasta Sauces - US - April 2006
Pub Time: 2006/04
Published by : Mintel International Group Ltd.
Distributed by : Global Information, Inc.
Price: US $ 2995.00
Abstract
The pasta sauces market in 1999 was just over $1.4 billion, and by
2004 it had moved to just under $1.4 billion (at FDM, excluding
Wal-Mart). Mintel estimates that, overall, the market grew from $1.5
billion in 1999 to $1.6 billion in 2004. These higher figures amount
to growth of 6% over five years--less than the rate of inflation. But
this does not imply that the market was in any way stable, stagnant,
or inactive, as companies scrambled to respond to a number of trends.
Competing products, such as frozen family dinners, have created
challenges for pasta sauce manufacturers, drawing consumers away from
pasta sauce with the very appeal that lured them there in the first
place: convenience. Declining family sizes have also proved
challenging.
Coverage:
This report includes shelf stable (jarred and canned) and refrigerated
pasta sauces. Both tomato-based and cream-based sauces are included,
as are herb- and other vegetable-based varieties (e.g. pesto, made
from basil, garlic, nuts, cheese or primavera, and vegetables).

Increasing consumer desire for convenient products requiring a minimum
of preparation and cooking time has resulted in a growing market for
chilled prepared foods.
Market Trends:
The key market driver has been the consumer desire for convenient
products that require a minimum of preparation and cooking time.
Chilled prepared foods have also been ideally suited to take advantage
of trends such as healthy eating and the growth of snacking. Many
lines ? especially in the UK ? are positioned as ?good for you?, while
the fact that some chilled foods can be eaten immediately increase
their appeal as snacks.

Soup's On
By Bob Garrison
New products, packaging stir up sales in a hot category.
Just how big are refrigerated and frozen soups? Try soooo big that one
of the nation?s largest grocery retailers recently selected chilled
soup as one of the chain?s most pivotal private-label businesses. Last
summer saw Safeway Inc., Pleasanton, Calif., launch a $100 million
?Ingredients for Life? marketing campaign (coupled with a major store
remodeling effort) to promote its high-quality perishables and
proprietary brands.
In fact, annual sales of retail chilled soups, excluding Wal-Mart,
grew 58 percent during the 52-week period ending April 16, 2006,
reaching $109.2 million (excluding chili), according to data from
Chicago-based Information Resources Inc.

Stirring up the pot: soup is comforting, but consumers want more
excitement and flair. While traditional standbys, such as clam chowder
and cream of tomato, still dominate the market, soups with gourmet
ingredients, health-oriented ingredient labels and innovative
packaging quickly are graining ground
Prepared Foods, May, 2005 by Tom Zind
Today, the excitement lies in more exotic concoctions, innovative
packaging and even organic/natural formulations. As the industry tries
to spur interest in a food category that, while floundering, still has
the ability to connect with consumers on multiple levels, companies
are thinking beyond the traditional can of soup.
That's what Mintel International Group Ltd. (Chicago) says in a May
2004 study of the soup category. With overall soup sales hardly
budging year-over-year, Mintel says the industry is looking for ways
to make soup more enticing. Manufacturers are finding some success by
introducing more ready-to-serve soups, soups that are heartier and
products that hold their flavor and consistency longer.
Convenience runs a close second. Mintel says sales of condensed and
dry soups that take time to prepare are fading. They are taking a
backseat to refrigerated, ready-to-serve and soups in microwave-ready
packaging.
The flavor explosion is being fueled by both consumer demand for more
complexity and the ability of base, stock and flavoring suppliers to
fashion more nuanced products.
"Our suppliers have stepped up to get us the very latest bases,
extracts and flavors to make innovative products," says Renate
DeGeorge, corporate chef at Winter Gardens Quality Foods Inc. (New
Oxford, Pa.), a manufacturer of refrigerated soups for retail and
foodservice.
Fairfield Farms Kitchens (Brockton, Mass.) has found consumers are
willing to pay for its refrigerated RTS organic and natural soups.
President and CEO Frank Carpenito says the company's Moosewood brand,
which includes both natural and conventional vegetarian/vegan soups,
and its Organics Classics line of organic soups, are attracting a
growing following.
Formulating natural and organic soups, especially those that are sold
refrigerated, can pose a challenge. Kettle Cuisine, a Chelsea, Mass.,
supplier of some 70 such soups to retail and foodservice, manages to
do it by carefully selecting the freshest ingredients and using
natural preservatives like citric acid.

New Organic Classics HomeStyle Soups
Fairfield Farm Kitchens, creators of Organic Classics, the leading
brand in the Organic frozen entrees category, is continuing its torrid
expansion in the organic prepared foods segment with the introduction
of three premium quality, USDA-certified refrigerated organic soups.
The timing for the introduction of new Organic Classics Refrigerated
Soups couldn?t be better. Busy Americans have always loved the taste
of homemade soups, but today, most of them no longer have the time to
make soups from scratch.
According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), the +78% growth in
the ?Organic Meat, Poultry & Seafood? category represented the fastest
growing organic segment for 2003. Moreover, recent Datamonitor
research projects the overall U.S. organic market will top $30 billion
in 2007. Despite such encouraging statistics, most organic providers
have been slow to respond to these trends, but such has not been the
case with Fairfield Farm Kitchens. Less than eighteen months ago, the
Company played the role of category pioneer when it launched what has
become an incredibly successful line of six restaurant-quality,
refrigerated, organic vegetarian soups under its Moosewood label.
Today, Moosewood Organic Vegetarian Soups hold a dominant market share
position in the Organic/Natural Refrigerated Soup Category.

Kettle Cuisine plans $4M expansion of Chelsea plant
Boston Business Journal - March 17, 2006
CHELSEA -- Soup maker Kettle Cuisine Inc. is cooking up a factory
expansion plan to satisfy a growing consumer appetite for prepared
foods.
The consumer decrease in cooking from scratch created the frozen-food
industry, and sales of high-quality refrigerated prepared foods are
now on the upswing, said Rob Hardy, an associate principal at The Hale
Group Ltd., a Danvers-based management consultant to the food
industry.
Despite Kettle's enthusiasm for its packaged soups, data from
Chicago-based retail sale research company Information Resources Inc.
show that sales of ready-to-serve wet soup only edged up in the past
few years to $3.73 billion in 2005 from $3.68 billion in 2003.
Information Resources tracks sales at food, drug and mass merchandise
stores excluding Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which withholds its sales data.
The short shelf life of refrigerated soups has prevented the rise of a
true national player, said the Hale Group's Hardy. Even ampbell Soup
Co. of Camden, N.J., isn't operating nationally with its StockPot
Inc., its fresh-soup subsidiary in Woodinville, Wash., he said. That
constraint creates room for players like Kettle, Hardy said.

Campbell Announces Plans to Build $80 Million Plant for its Fast
GrowingPpremium Refrigerated Soup Business
CAMDEN, NJ, July 15, 2005--Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) today
announced plans to build a new $80 million, 220,000-square-foot
culinary campus in Everett, Wash. for its fast-growing premium
refrigerated soup business. The new facility will enable the company's
StockPot business to increase its production capacity by 50% when it
relocates from its present campus in Woodinville, Wash. The new
StockPot facility is expected to start up in the summer of 2006.
Campbell acquired StockPot Inc., which makes restaurant-quality,
fresh-refrigerated soups and sauces for the food service industry, in
1998. StockPot's products, which have achieved double-digit growth
over the past four years, are sold across the U.S. as part of
Campbell's Away From Home division. StockPot is a share leader in the
refrigerated soup category in the food service and supermarket
channels.

Chilled entrees? They're groovy, baby! New generation of offerings
ready to "meat" consumers.
Refrigerated & Frozen Foods
Date: Oct 2003
Not since the late '90s Home Meal Replacement boom--where retailers
made a conscious effort to compete against restaurant take-out--have
refrigerated entrees sold so well.
Information Resources data show supermarket dollar and unit sales
rising 13.4 percent and 11.1 percent respectively to near $700 million
during a 52-week period ended August 10. A similar story comes from
ACNielsen, which included refrigerated entrees among the six fastest
growing convenience-oriented food and cleaning items at retail.
Looking back on 2002, ACNielsen said chilled entree sales rose 20
percent to more than $1 billion across the firm's market wider
tracking area of grocery, drug and mass merchandising outlets
(excluding Wal-Mart).
Among the refrigerated entree category's top brands are Perdue Farms,
Hormel Foods, Tyson Foods, John Morrell and Lloyd's.
Although refrigerated entree merchandising may vary from chain to
chain, the category's home seems to have shifted over to the meat
department.

Sector Insight: Home meal replacements - Faster food.
Thanks to the ever-growing tide of time-poor consumers, this
relatively new category is providing a valuable revenue stream for
supermarkets.
The concept, imported from the US, suffers from being ill-defined.
According to Mintel, it was originally classified as a 'complete
cooked meal served hot at a supermarket counter for off-premises/home
consumption'. The definition has since been broadened to encompass
complete, cooked foods including pre-packaged meals, chilled bagged
meals, in-store prepared pizzas and rotisserie food. HMR products do
not include chilled or frozen ready meals, other deli counter-prepared
foods, takeaways or delivered meals.

What's cookin'? Refrigerated dinner entrees continue on a mature
segment path, with innovative products balanced by sales ups and
downs.(Refrigerated Entrees-Dinners)
Article Excerpt
Refrigerated dinner entrees represent one of those hard-to-pin-down
categories. In the mid-1990s, home meal replacements were touted as
the next best thing to sliced bread, or at least sliced homemade pot
roast. Then, just a couple years ago, a shakeout of sorts occurred,
and various heat-and-serve meals were castigated in some circles for
lacking flavor and consistency.
Like many predictions and analyses, the market reality is somewhere in
the middle. Data from Chicago-based Information Resources, Inc. (IRI)
reveals sales of refrigerated dinner entrees are pegged at $650.4
million, a 5.5 percent-slide from this time last year. Still, within
the category, some manufacturers have posted healthy gains.
Currently, the category is lead by private-label products.
Meanwhile, companies that have not yet had a presence in the
refrigerated entree section are investing in new cooking and packaging
processes.

Market Wire, January, 2005
Superior Farms, the largest processor of lamb and veal in the United
States, announces the launch of "Cucina Superiore," a new brand of

"Until now, families wanting fresh meat pasta sauce have either had to
cook all day or add their own meat and fresh vegetables to bottled
sauce. Neither alternative was fast or easy. Cucina Superiore solves
that problem for today's busy families by combining lots of hearty
meat and fresh vegetables into an easy-to-prepare, great tasting
premium pasta sauce," says Les Oesterreich, CEO of Superior Farms.
"Cucina Superiore allows us to extend our offering of high quality
