    Much of the information in this

    briefing is of a statistical nature and,

    while every attempt has been made

    to ensure accuracy and reliability,

    Euromonitor International cannot be

    held responsible for omissions or

    Figures in tables and analyses are

    calculated from unrounded data and

    may not sum. Analyses found in the

    briefings may not totally reflect the

    companies opinions, reader discretion is advised.

    Nestl is the global leader in

    hot drinks and it is accelerating

    its expansion in the US

    following the formation of

    Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE).

    The companys presence in standard fresh ground coffee is

    weak and it has been making

    efforts to develop coffee pods,

    particularly in Western Europe.

    Multi-beverage Nescaf Dolce

    Gusto outperformed Nespresso

    but both are facing competition

    from compatible products and

    private label. The companys initiatives in tea pods are bold

    and encouraging.

    Nestl has seven core business segments: Powder and Liquid Beverages (hot drinks included

    here); Water; Milk Powder and Ice Cream; Nutrition

    and HealthCare; Prepared Dishes and Cooking

    Aids; Confectionery; and PetCare. According to the

    company, Water accounted for 7.3% of the groups

    CHF sales in 2013, and 5% of trading operating

    profit.

    Within its beverages business, the Nespresso platform is a high-growth revenue generator and

    receives plentiful attention in terms of media

    attention and R&D. Nestls 2013 annual report

    combined instant coffee, the Nespresso business

    and other powder and liquid beverages together,

    showing no split between them.

    Nestl sits at the top spot of global hot drinks by value, ranking number one in both coffee and other

    hot drinks in 2013. Its Nespresso business

    continues to grow globally although it showed a

    marked slowdown in Western Europe amid

    growing competition. The company is expanding in

    the US by introducing new machines to take on

    Kuerigs dominance.

    STRATEGIC EVALUATION

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 5 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Nestls more moderate but more profitable growth for FY2013 STRATEGIC EVALUATION

    For the fiscal year 2013, Nestl posted growth slightly below the 5% long-term target for organic growth, but its

    trading operating profit margin rose slightly for the year.

    Zone Europe delivers positive growth

    Nestls FY2013 results offer unusual reading. In contrast to the patterns of recent years, 2013 saw

    minimal reported revenue growth in Zone Europe and

    levels of growth in the reporting segments

    encompassing emerging markets well below recent

    levels.

    Although the groups organic growth was broad based, Europe posted 0.8% growth, Americas 5.1% and the

    AOA region 7.4% year on year.

    Nestl Nutrition remains the high-growth/high-profit

    division

    The infant nutrition business, enhanced by the Wyeth Nutrition acquisition, had a very positive year in

    FY2013, particularly in infant formula and infant cereals.

    The business delivered double-digit growth in Brazil and

    Russia. The US benefited from the continued rollout of

    innovations to help prevent colic and allergies, and

    strengthening of the Gerber brand franchise.

    In the first half of 2014, Nestl delivered organic growth of 4.7%, with total sales reaching CHF43

    billion. In Q1, the extension of the Grand Cru

    coffee range, innovative services and new

    machines ensured that demand for Nespresso in

    established markets remained solid despite

    significantly increased competition. Geographic

    expansion was accelerated with 14 new boutiques

    opened across the world. In North America there

    has been a good response to the launch of the

    VertuoLine system delivering the long-cup coffees

    preferred by US consumers.

    In zone Asia, Oceania and Africa, the premium businesses continued to be a growth driver for the

    Zone. The continuing rollout of Nescaf Dolce

    Gusto delivered double-digit growth. Innovation

    also contributed with new launches including Yinlu

    Walnut Milk in China (included in soft drinks) and

    new portioned packs of Milo in Australia. There

    was solid growth for Milo in cocoa and malt

    beverages and Maggi in ambient culinary. Russia

    saw good growth for Nescaf Dolce Gusto.

    STRATEGIC EVALUATION

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 7 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Nestls Four Operational Pillars Innovation and

    portfolio development

    Efficiency - highest quality - lowest cost

    Consumer communication

    Product availability across all

    distribution channels

    Nestl continuously reformulates products

    to enhance their

    nutritional profile, by

    reducing unhealthy

    elements and/or

    increasing their nutrient

    content. Central to the

    groups innovation strategy is the

    development of

    branded active ingredients, through which Nestl aims to

    highlight its science-

    driven approach and its

    R&D capabilities.

    Nestl's cost-saving strategies have been

    implemented as per the

    Nestl Continuous

    Excellence programme.

    The group has

    improved operating

    margins over the years.

    In 2013, both the cost of goods and

    distribution expenses

    rose, but the

    companys trading operating profit grew by

    4% and its trading

    operating margin

    increased by 20 basis

    points on 2012.

    Intense innovation in line with ongoing trends

    and efficient

    communication of

    added-value benefits

    will be key to the

    success of the groups portfolio improvement

    and to enable strong

    pricing positions to

    recover significant R&D

    investment.

    Investment in advertising will also be

    key to increasing the

    groups competitive edge and differentiating

    itself from its rivals.

    One of Nestls strategic pillars is the

    broadening of

    distribution to increase

    consumption

    opportunities. Its

    multiple channel

    strategy, ranging from

    traditional retailers to

    modern grocery and

    online, especially

    targets impulse

    opportunities, such as

    street vendors, kiosks

    and vending machines,

    which are vital to, for

    example, ice cream

    and confectionery

    sales.

    STRENGTHS

    OPPORTUNITIES

    WEAKNESSES

    THREATS

    With Nespresso and Nescaf Dolce Gusto

    expanding globally,

    Nestl continues to lead

    the global coffee pods

    market, despite its share

    being eroded by Keurig.

    Strength of pod coffee

    With a strong global footprint, Nestl's global

    value share of instant

    coffee stood at 48% in

    2013. Its dominance

    here is and will remain

    secure for some time to

    come.

    Instant coffee North America

    North America has traditionally been a

    weakness for Nestl in

    hot drinks. It is now

    addressing this by

    introducing Nespresso to

    foodservice and

    launching a new

    machine.

    Standard fresh coffee

    Nestls bold move with Special.T is interesting

    and the premium tea

    segment is certainly

    worth exploring further

    especially in developed

    markets.

    Special.T

    The category is growing and Nestl needs to

    continue to sustain its

    presence in Western

    Europe and penetrate

    key coffee-drinking

    markets.

    Coffee pods

    Nespresso-compatible products and private

    label are cannibalising

    Nespressos share of

    coffee pods.

    Threat to Nespresso

    The competition is changing, with Keurigs

    partnership with multiple

    brands and the formation

    of major rival JDE.

    Keurig and JDE

    SWOT: Nestl SA

    STRATEGIC EVALUATION

    While Nestl leads instant coffee and coffee

    pod sales, it has virtually

    no presence in standard

    fresh ground coffee and

    it is weak in coffee

    beans.

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 9 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    The emergence of Nespresso-compatible products is a huge

    threat to Nespresso. The fact that

    these brands are available in both

    multiple grocers and online

    makes them more accessible to

    consumers. DE Master Blenders

    (DEMB)s LOr Espresso is

    emerging as a key challenger to

    Nespresso in Western Europe.

    In Western Europe, Nespresso continues to hold 41% of the

    coffee pods market and private

    label accounts for around 11%.

    Nestl has been fighting for

    patent protection but it seems

    likely that it will not keep the

    technology to itself. While a

    devastating blow to the company,

    it also highlights Nestls

    leadership in innovation.

    Nespresso compatibles

    Nestls bold move in single-serve tea-specific machines, Special. T is

    still at the experimental stage.

    Premium teas and making tea

    drinking a long-lasting premium

    experience are being explored by

    various manufacturers including

    DEMB and Unilever. This is a

    manufacturer-led movement and

    manufacturers are trying to

    convince consumers of the

    premium nature of their teas and

    the method of tea preparation.

    Therefore, marketing expenditure is

    likely to be high in this space.

    Following Nestls launch in tea machines, Unilever responded with

    Tea Fusion endorsed by Lipton.

    Tea machines is a niche segment

    but competition is growing.

    Premium tea

    Although Nestls innovation is copied and used by other players,

    this has not stopped the company

    innovating further. Its launch of

    new machines in the US and the

    Nespresso boutique retail concept

    are encouraging moves.

    Nevertheless, technology creates opportunities for Nestl, opens up

    possible new sales routes, but,

    also invites new competition.

    Technological innovation does not

    guarantee success.

    The formation of JDE is also a threat to Nestl, as the combined

    resources for coffee are enormous

    and the economies of scale

    derived from optimising

    technological innovation and

    marketing for its widened portfolio

    of brands considerable.

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 11 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Nestl continued to outperform the global hot drinks market in 2013, thanks to healthy growth in instant coffee in major emerging markets and expansion in pods in developed markets. Its strong growth continued

    to be supported by Nespresso, Nescaf Dolce Gusto and Nescaf. Nestl will face a greater challenge

    following the merger between Mondelezs coffee unit and DEMB.

    Mondelez marginally outpaced the market thanks to the strong performance of the beverage system brand Tassimo. Its multi-beverage capability and relative affordability compared to Nespresso helped it appeal to

    the mass market and secure healthy volume sales. The availability of Tassimo in grocery stores has also

    proved an advantage in targeting mass-market consumers.

    DEMBs overall performance was hampered to some extent by its limited geographic presence and slow sales of Senseo, which has been one of the losers in the global single-serve coffee boom in recent years.

    Going forward, DEMBs acquisition of Norways Kaffehuset Friele may help its development of single-origin coffee beans in European markets. However, Keurigs expanded collaboration with established brands and

    its potential interests in international markets are likely to see it emerge as an international player in the

    medium term.

    Nestl slightly outperforms the global hot drinks market in 2013

    COMPETITIVE POSITIONING

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 12 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Compared to soft drinks, hot drinks is a very fragmented industry, with the top 10 hot drinks players making up only 38% of the global

    market in 2013. Nestl continues to occupy the top spot in the global

    hot drinks market. Its leadership is underpinned by its consistent

    growth in both instant coffee in emerging markets and fresh coffee in

    developed markets, while its presence in tea is limited. Its strong

    presence in other hot drinks also helps to support its overall hot drinks

    position.

    Despite the split from Kraft, Mondelez maintained its second position and kept a solid distance between itself and Unilever. Unilevers third

    position is due to its strong leadership in tea, with wide geographical

    coverage. However, tea is an industry lacking a coffee pod moment,

    meaning there is no single tea category or type driving large-scale

    consumer trading up across developed markets. Unilevers potential

    expansion of the newly-acquired Australian T2 premium tea retail

    brand will help Unilevers ambition to expand into premium tea.

    Mondelez and DEMBs future partnership - JDE - will move to the top of global coffee by retail volume, but it will stay in second place

    behind Nestl in retail value terms. The combined strength of

    Mondelez and DEMB will be a compelling force in the global hot

    drinks market and a real threat to Nestl.

    Asia Pacific and Latin America are set to be the growth engines for hot drinks over 2013-2018, with the two regions contributing over half of global growth over the forecast period. Strong growth in both Brazils coffee

    and Chinas instant tea markets is set to be key to this growth. Nestl has invested in Chinas Yinlu local

    beverages but it is unlikely that Nestl will be interested in expanding into instant tea. In Western Europe

    and Australasia, hot drinks growth will be more subdued, with CAGRs of 1-2%. North America appears to

    show a more positive picture. In the US, Nestl introduced the VertuoLine system especially designed for

    the local long-cup market, a bold move given Keurigs dominance.

    Instant coffee is Nestls primary interest in hot drinks, a category it dominates with a 48% retail value share in 2013. Instant coffee sales are expected to post a CAGR of 3% in off-trade value terms over 2013-

    2018, with emerging markets Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe and Middle East and Africa key growth

    contributors. Nestl, as the global leader in the category, stands to benefit disproportionately and it has

    dominant positions in key growth markets such as China (75% share), Mexico (74%) and the UK (42%).

    While Nestl was late to standard fresh ground coffee, it has focused on growing its presence in premium fresh coffee pods with Nespresso and Nescaf Dolce Gusto. Mid-ranged Nescaf Dolce Gusto is being

    rolled out globally and achieved higher growth than super premium Nespresso. Nescaf Dolce Gusto is

    now present in 73 countries, according to the companys annual report.

    Nestl leads global other hot drinks sales through its Milo and Nesquik brands based largely on its emerging market presence. It also has an emerging presence in premium tea with the Special.T system (a

    pod-based system similar to Nespresso), although its sales here remain modest.

    Global opportunities will remain biased in favour of fresh coffee

    COFFEE OPPORTUNITIES

    Within the major coffee growth markets, fresh coffee will generate much higher value growth over 2013-2018 than instant coffee. Globally, growth in instant coffee will be driven by emerging markets, primarily in

    Asia Pacific, headed by China. Some developed markets, such as Canada and Germany, are likely to see

    sluggishness or even decline in instant coffee.

    Brazil, the US, Canada and Spain are major forces for growth in fresh coffee. In Brazil, Nestls weakness in standard fresh ground coffee affects its pace of share gain in overall coffee. Its key competitors are

    Strauss/So Miguel, DE Master Blenders and potentially the entity, JDE, formed by the merger between

    DEMB and Mondelezs coffee unit. Currently, there is little competition in coffee pods and Nespresso

    dominates the category.

    In the US and Canada, Nespresso is expanding and taking on Keurigs strong position there. It is crucial for Nestl to grow the new beverage machine VertuoLine by scale and its beverages should be designed to fit

    local consumers palates and lifestyles.

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 18 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Nestl leads the global coffee market, with a retail value share of almost 23% in 2013. Nestls strong position is underpinned by

    its successful expansion via instant coffee in emerging markets

    and coffee pods in developed markets.

    Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE) will be a strong second player by retail value sales, with a potential 16% share, thanks to

    Mondelezs good international coverage and DEMBs wide

    presence in Europe. At the time of writing, DEMB is in the

    process of acquiring a premium coffee bean company,

    Kaffehuset Friele (owner of House of Coffee), based in Norway.

    DEMBs target market for its bean business is mainly Western

    Europe.

    Keurig (GMCR) currently operates in the US only; however, international expansion cannot be ruled out. The Coca-Cola Co

    recently acquired a 10% stake in Keurig, and the partnership will

    allow Coca-Cola in a capsule format to be dispensed in Keurigs

    cold beverage machine. The partnership may give Keurig further

    confidence to expand beyond its domestic comfort zone.

    Strauss and its Brazilian joint venture Strauss/So Miguel both appeared in the top 10 in 2013. However, Strauss Group has

    seen its global share decline as a direct result of its slow entry

    into pods.

    Nestls global position in coffee may be challenged by the arrival of Jacobs Douwe Egberts. In May 2014, Mondelez and DE Master Blenders 1753 (DEMB) jointly announced the decision to combine their

    respective coffee businesses to create the worlds leading coffee company, with annual revenues of over

    US$7 billion. The new company, called Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE), will be based in the Netherlands.

    This deal will be one of the most significant in the global coffee market in many years, and is likely to

    reshape the competitive landscape.

    The parties have entered into an agreement to combine Mondelezs wholly-owned coffee portfolio (outside France) with DEMB. In conjunction with this transaction, Acorn Holdings BV (AHBV), owner of DEMB, has

    made a binding offer to take over Mondelez's coffee business in France. The parties have also invited

    Mondelez's partners in certain joint ventures to join the new company. The transactions remain subject to

    regulatory approvals and the completion of employee information and consultation requirements. In 2013,

    Mondelez's wholly-owned coffee business generated revenues of around US$3.9 billion, and DEMB

    generated some US$3.4 billion. Upon completion of all proposed transactions, Mondelez will receive cash

    of approximately US$5 billion and a 49% equity interest in JDE. AHBV will hold a majority share in the

    proposed combined company and will have a majority of the seats on the board, which will be chaired by

    current DEMB chairman Bart Becht. AHBV is owned by an investor group led by JAB Holding Company

    Sarl. Mondelez will have certain minority rights. The transactions are expected to be completed during the

    course of 2015, subject to limited closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

    The proposal includes DEMBs tea business, which is highly complementary as Mondelez has little presence in tea. However, Mondelezs chocolate drinks are excluded from the deal. JDE will be the global

    brand owner of all the coffee and tea brands of both companies. As this is only at the proposal stage, the

    details regarding how these brands will cross leverage each others networks have not yet been disclosed

    or discussed in public.

    New rival: Mondelez/DEMBs partnership proposal for JDE COFFEE OPPORTUNITIES

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 20 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    If the deal is approved, JDE will assume the number one position in the worlds coffee market by retail volume, with a 15% share, overtaking market leader Nestl (12%). However, in value terms, JDE will be

    placed second, with a 16% share, overshadowed by Nestl (23%). Nestls high value positioning is

    underpinned by its strong presence in coffee pods, and its wide coverage in instant coffee, particularly in

    emerging markets.

    The deal is a strategic fit and highly complementary for both Mondelez and DEMB, particularly in terms of coffee brands and geographic profile. JDE would have a much wider brand portfolio than the two

    companies have at present, encompassing Jacobs, Carte Noire, Tassimo, Kenco, Douwe Egberts, LOr,

    Pilo and Senseo, and these brands will potentially have immediate access to an established network in

    key markets. For example, Mondelez is absent from Brazils coffee market and can leverage DE Master

    Blenderss strong leadership in Brazil to make a relatively smooth entry. DE Master Blenders can also use

    Mondelezs strength in China to expand.

    From a competitors point of view, the deal is a threat to Nestl, as it must face not only JDE globally but also Keurig in the US. The Coca-Cola Cos acquisition of a 10% stake in Keurig has made the situation

    even more challenging, as Keurig has strengthened its financial position. The emergence of copycat

    Nespresso-compatible products, private label and generic single-serve products has already put pressure

    on Nespressos share. Nestl may have to expand aggressively into the US coffee pods category and

    strengthen its position in major emerging markets. Nespressos recent launch of VertuoLine in the US,

    which allows the machine to produce a large cup of espresso, is a good experiment.

    Case study: Challenging landscape in single-serve coffee

    COFFEE OPPORTUNITIES

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 23 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Globally, most major coffee players are engaged in the pods business to varying degrees. While

    Nespresso has global coverage, Green Mountain

    Coffee Roasters is strong in the booming US market.

    In March 2014, GMCR changed its name to Keurig

    Green Mountain, to reflect its business of selling

    Keurig coffee makers. GMCRs Keurig pod system

    overtook Nespresso for the first time in 2013 to

    become the number one brand by value in pods

    globally, thanks to its strategy of allowing established

    beverage brands to be made compatible with its

    system.

    Nestls strong rival will be JDE, which will have four major single-serve beverage system/pod brands in

    the top 10: Tassimo, Senseo, LOr Espresso and

    Jacobs, covering a spectrum of price points. The fact

    that these pods are available in the grocery channel

    helps them attract more consumers doing their

    weekly shopping. Mondelez recently launched

    Nespresso-compatible pods for the Jacobs and Carte

    Noire brands in Switzerland, Germany and France to

    target Nespressos core markets, and JDE may have

    a chance to steal some share from Nespresso.

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 25 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Developed markets the driver

    Growth to be found mainly in developed markets due to high initial cost of purchasing the machine and low affordability in most developing markets. It is important for Nespresso to strengthen its position in developed markets in terms of both the machines and the drinks. In Western Europe, Nestl will need to fight hard against Nespresso-compatible products and make a considerable effort to retain consumer loyalty.

    In the long term, pod machines will filter through to major coffee growth developing markets, such as China. Nestls strong position in instant coffee in these markets will thus help it to expand in fresh coffee.

    Beverage machines or beverage

    Beverage machine operators and beverage brand owners have to be clear how to develop their systems and technology in association with their coffee brands.

    As patents for machines will expire, the machine owners have to maximise the value of innovation before this occurs. The emergence of Nespresso-compatible pods has alerted both machine and beverage brand owners regarding consumer loyalty to the drinks.

    Patents on technology can be vulnerable. Investment in R&D is not a guarantee financial success.

    Collaborations

    For pod marketers, the investment in machines can be huge and it is a complex issue to market, distribute and maintain the machines. A number of alliances and collaborations have been formed: Starbucks and Keurig, Keurig and The Coca-Cola Co (for cold beverages), Keurig with Lavazza etc.

    The direction of development of machines is tending towards user-friendly, interactive and digital formats. However, consumers are increasingly sophisticated and they are looking for good value for money in innovation rather than superfluous modifications.

    The future of pods

    COFFEE OPPORTUNITIES

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 26 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Brazil has a concentrated coffee market, with the top three players making up over half of total retail value sales. Nestls rivals include

    newly-created JDE, the Strauss/So Miguel joint venture, Melitta and

    other smaller companies.

    Nestl Brasil has a strong position within instant coffee as its brand is well known among consumers. Nestl has 14 exclusive stores and an

    online portal to sell Nespresso coffee pods to consumers. At the

    same time, its Nescaf Dolce Gusto brand has more widespread

    distribution due to its more accessible price.

    Nestls key current rival is DEMB, which is long established in Brazil in both the off-trade and on-trade. DEMBs strength lies in fresh

    ground coffee, where it has been leader for many years. Standard

    fresh ground coffee dominates coffee sales in Brazil and will continue

    to do so over the forecast period. However, the pods category is

    advancing rapidly and has attracted growing interest from both

    consumers and industry players. Nestl dominates the pods category

    and Melitta has introduced pods; however, sales and distribution

    remain limited. Strauss/So Miguel has not registered category

    shares in pods yet. In view of the categorys anticipated rapid growth,

    DEMB may build a solid platform for L'Or Espresso and Senseo to

    grab share from Nespresso, as consumers are already aware of its

    corporate offering and are familiar with its brands in fresh ground

    coffee.

    opportunity exist in foodservice.

    Case study: US - Pod battle

    COFFEE OPPORTUNITIES

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 29 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Nespressos business model will continue to have a tough time in the US. Consumers there are very loyal to

    their favourite hot drinks brands and will pay a premium

    for a Keurig coffee machine because it brews all their

    favourite branded drinks at the touch of a button and at a

    price that is still perceived as reasonable. To succeed, it

    will not be enough for Nespresso to focus on coffee size.

    The right pricing and brand awareness and availability in

    retail outlets such as grocery are also important.

    The North American fresh coffee market is very concentrated, with the top two companies, Kraft and JM

    Smucker, jointly commanding over one third of off-trade

    fresh coffee volumes. Despite volume sales just one fifth

    of JM Smucker, Green Mountain is North Americas most

    valuable coffee company as almost all of its sales derive

    from its Keurig pods which are premium priced.

    In the US, specialist coffee shops are by far the most popular places for consumers to enjoy a cup of coffee

    outside the home. In 2013, specialist coffee shops

    generated sales of around US$18 billion and this is

    expected to rise by a further 13% over 2013-2018.

    Starbucks is the major player in this field, accounting for

    around 60% of specialist coffee shops sales in 2013.

    In North America, there are only a few coffee brands that consumers brew at home, with one also being the main specialist coffee chain where the same consumers enjoy their coffee when out.

    In this context, Green Mountain has been able to thrive. The company has been able to find success by combining its pod technology with stable partnerships with several popular licensed regional coffee brands.

    Green Mountain has agreements with 25 different coffee brands to produce K-Cups, including four of the

    top five brands by value in the US fresh coffee market - Keurig itself, Folgers, Dunkin Donuts and

    Starbucks.

    This strategy has helped Green Mountain attract customers who would normally hesitate in purchasing a pod coffee machine but are nonetheless interested in the possibility of brewing their favourite brand of

    coffee at the touch of a button. Crucially, this partnership strategy has also limited the incentive for

    competitors to launch rival pod systems and is in turn attracting further cooperation agreements. Even

    Lavazza, the Italian coffee brewer, which in Europe partners Electrolux for its pod system, has decided to

    cut out the Swedish company from its US pod expansion and has partnered with Green Mountain instead.

    Lavazza purchased a 7% stake in Green Mountain and in 2012 launched its Keurig Rivo.

    The Coca-Cola Co has purchased 10% stake in Keurig and started investing in the cold beverage system. TCCCs investment strengthened Keurigs confidence to expand and ensures that Keurigs innovation

    pipeline will not run short.

    Currently, Keurigs sales are mainly in North America. As the company grows, its international ambition may become more apparent. By then, Keurig will become Nestls global rival.

    COFFEE OPPORTUNITIES

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 31 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Part of Nespressos plan to boost its share of the US market is to increase its brand exposure via

    professional customers, such as restaurants. In

    May 2013, Nespresso launched the Aguila, a

    machine designed especially for US foodservice

    outlets to help with this goal. While Nespresso may

    be successful in gaining entry into US restaurants,

    it is still unclear whether this will translate into a

    larger presence in the US retail coffee pods

    market.

    Positioned as a premium product, available only through Nespresso boutiques or online retailers,

    Nespresso is targeting only high-margin

    restaurants to showcase its coffee. The brands

    restaurant pitch echoes that of its individual

    consumer: Nespresso can offer an unparalleled

    combination of convenience and quality. Traditional

    espresso machines used by higher-end

    foodservice establishments require trained

    professionals to operate, substantial maintenance,

    and of course, a constant supply of fresh beans.

    Exploration in foodservice

    COFFEE OPPORTUNITIES

    Nespresso machines, on the other hand, are simple to operate, require minimum care, while the

    vacuum-sealed pods last up to 11 months.

    Furthermore, though a premium product,

    Nespresso machines are more economical than

    standard espresso machines: not only is the initial

    price of a Nespresso machine generally less

    expensive, but the running costs are also much

    lower. Thus far, Nespressos campaign has been

    convincing. According to Nespresso sources, 30%

    of the worlds Michelin-starred restaurants, many

    within the US, have made the switch to Nespresso

    machines.

    Other hot drinks includes chocolate powder, malt drinks and local products. China represents a strong growth market, but Nestl has limited presence there. Chinas market is highly fragmented, with VV Group,

    the market leader, commanding around 7% of retail value sales in 2013. Nestls strategy for China

    changed upon its acquisition of Yinlu, which gave it a presence in local beverages and it does not try to

    convince Chinese consumers to try Western style drinks. In Brazil, Nestl leads other hot drinks with strong

    brand Nescau and Nesquik. Both PepsiCo and TCCC is present but other hot drinks are not their core

    beverages in Brazil. Thus, Nestl has a good opportunity to sustain its leadership given its investments in

    marketing campaigns and research and development of new products, pack sizes and flavours..

    Chocolate powdered drinks is likely to be the growth driver in the other hot drinks market. Emerging markets are the key growth geographies, including Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia and Venezuela.

    In Brazil, Nestl (Nescau) and PepsiCo (Toddy) are the key players. The fact that the combined share of Nescau and Toddy is nearly 70% of the market makes it a real barrier for other potential entrants. Nescau

    is a fortified chocolate-based flavoured powder drink with Actigen-E, a combination of vitamins and

    minerals, in its formula. A marketing campaign focusing on adolescents is its key strategy to boost sales in

    this category.

    In Mexico, chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks registered the strongest growth in 2013, driven mainly by advertising which helps develop the perception among consumers that these are high quality products,

    and in turn limits the impact of price increases on consumers purchasing decisions. Nestl Mxico

    registered the strongest growth in other hot drinks in retail value share terms in 2013 due to the improved

    performance of Nesquik in chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks. This was due to the recent launch of

    the product containing stevia, an all-natural sweetener, which is considered healthier and potentially helpful

    in curbing childhood obesity.

    Emerging markets are set to drive global tea growth. Asian emerging markets will continue to raise their profile, becoming attractive investment destinations, on the back of organic growth in demand for value-

    added products, and consumers trading up.

    China is forecast to account for over 40% of global absolute value growth over 2013-2018. The emerging middle class, changing lifestyles and urbanisation should be recognised and fully explored by

    manufacturers. Missing the growth opportunities may risk weakened global status in the medium term.

    The US will continue to see good expansion in tea sales, thanks to the healthy image of tea and premiumisation in the tea industry. Starbucks acquisition of Teavana and its increased interest and

    activities in tea will help to create a premium tea moment.

    Unilevers acquisition of T2 (premium tea specialist outlets) and further established a store in London means it has started exploring high end tea store.

    The top four tea companies maintained their global rankings in 2013. The positions of these major companies are not expected to show

    significant change without major acquisitions.

    Unilever, TGBL and ABF are the only truly global companies in the top 10. Although TGBL has ambitions to expand, its widening interests and

    corporate objective to engage in a diverse range of beverages may

    mean its hot tea business is given limited resources. Consequently,

    TGBL and ABF are unlikely to pose an immediate challenge to

    Unilever, unless they make significant acquisitions in major tea

    markets.

    Orimi and Ahmad Tea have profited from the consumer boom in Eastern Europe, with consumers trading up to tea bags and a variety of

    loose teas, thanks to stabilised economies. The economic downturn did

    not have a significant impact on tea consumption, as tea is a staple

    beverage in the two companies core Eastern European region.

    Tea has never been a core category in Nestl vast fmcg basket. RTD tea Nestea is Nestls most globally recognized tea beverage brand.

    Interestingly, Nestl entered the premium tea category by high profile

    launch of Special.T single serve tea specialist machine in 2010 and

    now the machine is distributed in Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany,

    Netherlands, France, Japan and Switzerland. It is reported that the

    sales of Special.T exceeded Nestls expectation and the company is

    increasing its investment in the field.

    In March 2013, Special.T was launched in Japan, its first market outside Europe. This is a bold approach, as Japan

    sales in Japan, which offer some encouraging signs for tea

    pods. Special.T carries green tea and other varieties, such

    as black, blue, white and organic herbal teas. It claims to

    offer a selection of fine teas sourced from the top 1% of the

    worlds tea plantations to attract sophisticated Japanese

    consumers.

    Japan has sophisticated and affluent tea drinkers, hence Nestls selling Special.T as a high quality product.

    Crucially, Special.T will be available in grocery stores to

    help it reach critical mass. Demographically, Japan's

    population of 128 million will fall by more than a third by

    2060, and about 40% of the population will be over the age

    of 65. People living alone will tend to prefer smaller

    beverage packs. Japans ingrained tea-drinking culture and

    the traditional preparation of a cup of tea is challenged.

    Compared to Nestls water business, Nestls hot drinks business has a smaller brand portfolio. Nescaf, Nespresso, Nescaf Dolce Gusto, Milo and Nesquik are the key brands. Apart from the tea beverage

    machines and its associated tea products, Nestl has no established tea brands. Nescaf Dolce Gusto

    showed the strongest performance thanks to its multi-beverage feature and mid-priced appeal. The fact that

    the Dolce Gusto is available in grocery stores makes it convenient for consumers to top up supplies for their

    machines, thus, increasing consumption frequency. Nesquik is a key other hot drinks brand and it has been

    relaunched in Europe with 10% less sugar and fortified with OptiStart, containing vitamins and minerals to

    complement milk and optimal mix of nutrients to support growth and development. The launch started in

    France and covered most of Europe by the end of 2013. The Middle East and North and Latin America are

    BRAND STRATEGY

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 40 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Nescaf is Nestls number one selling brand in hot drinks based almost exclusively on its position in instant coffee. There is no single rival brand that challenges Nescaf although the combined strength of

    Mondelezs instant coffee brands is considerable. Growing demand for instant coffee, primarily in emerging

    markets, has helped it to grow despite growing premiumisation in mature Western European and North

    American markets which favours fresh coffee sales.

    In 2014, Nescaf is launching a unified, global look and feel across all products in the 180 countries where the coffee is sold. The purpose of the REDvolution campaign is to attract the attention of young consumers

    and make the brand still relevant as coffee consumption trends evolve. Nescaf is also launching RTD

    coffee Shakissmo in seven European markets to further capitalise on Nescafs brand equity.

    Japan, China and Russia are Nescafs major markets. While Japans market is mature and Nescaf saw continuous slow growth, China was the growth driver, increasing by 15% in 2012-2013. There are still many

    years of strong growth in instant coffee in China as coffee culture spreads further. The company has also

    been acting as a coffee ambassador in traditional tea-drinking markets in Asia Pacific. Nestl is among

    the most adept at tailoring its products to meet local requirements.

    BRAND STRATEGY

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 41 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Nespresso is based around a coffee club concept with retail taking place online from Nestl or through any one of its boutiques, some of which are stand-alone retail stores, but with most others operated as

    shop-in-shop formats in premium-positioned department stores rather than through supermarkets.

    Nespresso has seen growing competition from not only new arrivals every year and private label, but also

    Nespresso-compatible brands. The potential formation of JDE will also put some pressure on the pace of

    growth for Nespresso globally. To maintain growth, Nespresso, with 320 boutiques, will continue to open

    stores, but insists that it will not go down the grocery route. Instead, it is developing the Nespresso

    Business Solution and Automated Boutique concept to boost sales. Nespresso Cube, a digital, fully-

    automated Nespresso Boutique, was launched in Western Europe in 2014. Nespresso is launching the

    VertuoLine system in the US and this will prove a challenge as the pod market is dominated by Keurig.

    In terms of financial reporting, Nestl included Nespresso, Milo and other hot drinks brands in the Powder and Liquid Beverages segment in its 2013 annual report. There is no clear split for these brands within the

    segment. At corporate level, the company has around 460 factories in over 80 countries and its products

    are sold in around 140 countries. The company employs some 250,000 people and has a very active

    research and development programme and has around 30 R&D facilities in North America, Europe and

    Asia.

    In 2014, Nestl opened the System Technology Centre in Orbe, Switzerland to bring together the expertise behind the Nespresso, Nescaf Dolce Gusto and Nestl BabyNes systems. STC unites 120 experts from

    25 countries to work on design, technology, packaging, engineering, electronics and robotics.

    Production investments in coffee

    Nestl attempts to reduce costs and make its products closer to local markets. Therefore products are normally produced regionally or locally. In hot drinks, most of the investments in terms of production are in

    coffee, highlighting the strategic importance of the category to the company. The company has invested

    heavily in expanding facilities for Nescaf Dolce Gusto in recent years to keep pace with demand for coffee

    pods, including a new factory in Germany.

    In 2014, Nestl announced a ready-to-drink beverage factory in Malaysia for brands such as Nescaf, Milo and Nestl Low Fat Milk, and opened a Nescaf factory in Vietnam.

    In May 2012, Nestl announced a CHF300 million investment in a third factory for Nespresso capsule production, in Fribourg, Switzerland. This follows a CHF300 million investment in Nespressos second

    production and distribution centre in Avenches, Switzerland in 2009.

    In 2012, Nestl also announced a 220 million investment in a new Nescaf Dolce Gusto factory in Germany. The factory aims to produce about two billion coffee capsules a year for the German market, as

    well as for export to Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

    Nestl also continues to invest in its Nescaf instant coffee, including a project in Russia designed to meet domestic demand, as well as for export to other CIS countries.

    In 2013, Nescaf opened a new coffee centre of excellence in the Philippines to improve the quality and quantity of the coffee crop in a country where demand for beans far outstrips supply. The facility, in

    Batangas City in the central Philippines, was set up as a one-stop shop for coffee-growers in the region to

    give farmers access to the best of Nestls coffee farming technology and training.

    RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Euromonitor International PASSPORT 47 HOT DRINKS: NESTL SA

    Nestl should continue to strengthen its position in major

    instant coffee-drinking countries

    by marketing campaigns or new

    product development. In view of

    the formation of JDE in 2015,

    Nestl should design an

    appropriate strategy to cope

    with the new competitive

    situation. For example, in JDEs

    stronghold regions, Nestl

    should now consider or design a

    strategy to handle the future

    combined force of DEMB and

    Mondelez.

    In China and Russia, for example, Nestl needs to think

    ahead about what to do if DEMB

    leverages Mondelezs presence

    to launch its own instant coffee

    brands.

    Instant coffee

    Nestl has good penetration in coffee pods in most markets except the US. Facing the

    influx of Nespresso-compatible products

    and private label, Nespresso is right to

    widen its distribution and expand into

    institutional sales. The launch of Nespresso

    Cube is a positive trial to make its products

    more visually and directly accessible.

    The launch of the large cup VertuoLine system in the US is a good move despite

    the tough situation there. The US pod

    market is already concentrated and

    consumers loyalty to their brands means a

    long battle to win them over.

    Nestls bold move in single-serve tea-specific machines is still a work in progress.

    The initial launch in select Western

    European markets appears encouraging

    but the emergence of premium tea leafs

    variants may distract consumers attention

    from Special.T.

    Pods: Coffee and tea

    Nestl should consider increasing its presence

    in fresh coffee in Latin

    America. The Brazilian

    market will dominate

    regional growth and

    should therefore be the

    primary focus. The

    market remains highly

    fragmented, but with

    JDEs formation there is

    likely to be significant

    leveraging between

    DEMB and Mondelez

    and subsequent

    consolidation. Nestl will

    need to move now to

    avoid losing out on the

    strong growth

    anticipated here.
