, Lecture 1- Consumer Driver FPD
Why new product development?
1. Consumer needs are changing (demographic problem, more obesity)
2. Competition
3. Comply w/ legislation
4. New scientific development (new packaging)
5. Address social issues (artificial food colorants)
Society is dynamic therefore food product development is a continuous process.
To be successful, companies need to;
1. A consumer-oriented approach is essential. More options are produced therefore consumers
can CHOOSE btw products.
2. Cater for different target groups. Age, education, ethnicities require different products.
3. Consider that consumers now pay attention to other factors as well, not just smell,
appearance etc.
4. Keep up w/ new technological developments (innovations).
5. Source raw materials from all over the world as they produce more than they can consume.
6. Produce efficiently and effectively (min costs, meet consumer’s expectations).
Types of new products;
1. Me-too products (same product, different brand=you pay for the brand)
2. Repositioned existing product (give more emphasis on an attribute)
3. New packaging
4. Line extensions
5. Reformulated products
6. New forms of existing products (canned soup now powdered soup)
7. Co-innovation (companies’ products merge)
8. Innovative products
Line extensions are used the most, but the failure rate is quite high that is why structured
methodologies are being used;
1. Consumer profiles (environment conscious, animal loving, health conscious, convenience,
hedonic, price conscious, variety seeking group).
2. Use of creativity templates. Listing of components of an existing product and application of
innovation template; subtraction (remove sth), multiplication (alter copies of an existing
product), division (reconfigure a product), task unification (assign an additional task to an
existing element), attribute dependency change (in relation to its immediate environment).
By using templates, more complex products are accepted as the consumer sees sth familiar in
them.
