W
inning Perspectives is the new
Nielsen report that reflects the
evolution of the Watch & Buy
Report. New name, new structure, new digital
and interactive format, but the same content
— critical to the success of the Watch & Buy
Report: insights into buying behavior, FMCG
trends, media and the advertising market,
always with an overview of the Italian economic
situation, the most strategic market and sector
trends and those of other countries. 2014
was the year that witnessed the slowdown of
negative trends, but with no signs of recovery.
It was in fact 2015 that started with signs of
this long-awaited recovery, albeit with slow
growth rates. Our country is emerging from
recession and Italian families are recovering
their purchasing power, thanks to a favorable
economic climate fueled by the decisions
of the ECB (European Central Bank), the
fall in inflation and in the price of crude oil.
The return of consumer confidence in
particular encourages us to remain positive.
After the jump made during the first
quarter (57, +11 points vs. the beginning of
2014), Italian consumer confidence was
rejuvenated in the following three months.
It is clear that there is some dynamism, which
must still be transformed into a structured
and organic driving force; however the
confidence index is rising above 50 points,
reaching a most encouraging result that Italy
has been awaiting for four years. Advertising
market trends also confirm these fundamental
transitional trends in Italy. The reduced decline
in investment, which has characterized this
first part of the year, forecasts at long last a
market share above zero at the end of 2015.
By definition, advertising trends follow those
of consumption. With a slight increase in
food sales in supermarkets, we can see also an
increase in terms of advertising in this sector.
Expo 2015 has certainly played its part... In
any case, food is picking up again in Italy and
we would not expect anything else for the year
in which the world has passed through here.

Main economic indicators
In June 2015 there was a slight acceleration
+0.2% in inflation, up by 0.2% compared to the
previous year. The main types of expenditure
that contribute to general inflation are:
alcoholic beverages and tobacco (+3.0%), expenditure on
education (+1.9%), hospitality and catering services (+1.6%).
The unemployment rate continues to
+2.7% increase (+2.7% on an annual basis) and
reached 12.7% in June 2015. However, the
number of economically inactive individuals
is decreasing and there is therefore
greater participation in the labor market. This allows
the employment rate to grow on a quarterly basis that,
together with the increase in the number of jobs, augurs
more favorable developments in the coming months.
ISTAT (Istituto Nazionale di Statistica —
+0.7% the Italian National Institute of Statistics)
estimates that GDP will grow by 0.7% on an
annual basis, the highest rise in the past four
years. This variation is due to the increase in
domestic consumption and a higher added value from the
service sector and the industrial one, in the strictest sense
of the word. They negatively affect the agriculture and
construction sectors.

For the first time in years, in the second quarter of the year the business confidence
index exceeded the 100 points of 2010, reaching 104.7 in June. Confidence is up in
sectors such as construction, market services, retail trade and manufacturing, and
all with levels finally above 100.

Consumer confidence around the world
In the second quarter of 2015, the global confidence
index lost one point compared to the first quarter,
stabilizing at 96. Globally, the confidence index was
stable in the last year, while it differed regionally and
for individual nations.

Europe is the only region that grew in the quarter,
reaching its highest level in the last five years (79): 21
of the 32 European countries were more optimistic
than at the start of the year. Denmark, the UK and
Switzerland are the most confident countries, where
consumer confidence continued to grow in the quarter.
Ukraine, Serbia, Greece and Italy are the worst.
Germany lost three points in the second quarter,
mainly because of concerns relating to terrorism,
health, and an increase in prices. Ukraine experienced
an increase in points, during the ceasefire in February,
and greater monetary stability has contributed to a
more favorable climate (but it still remains among the
least confident).

Confidence in other regions is down: North America
lost five points compared to the first quarter, although
it is an optimistic area (101 points), Latin America (at
83, the lowest since 2009) and the Middle East/Africa
(94) lost three and two points respectively, while Asia
Pacific (107) remained stable in the quarter.

Although Italians are still very critical of the economic recovery of the country, the beginning of
2015 recorded a slight increase in confidence with regard to the recession: the percentage of Italians
who consider that the country is in recession fell by five percentage points compared to last year
(90% vs. 95% in Q2 2014).
Furthermore, there is positivity concerning the future of the recession: 16% believe that the crisis
will be over in the next 12 months, compared to other European countries such as Great Britain,
France and Spain that are at 13, 10 and 9 points respectively. It would seem, then, that despite
the various difficulties, the government is slowly generating positivity among the Italians. In
terms of job prospects, 12% of the population is now confident, up by two points compared to
Q2 2014. There was also an increase of two points as regards the Italians’ belief that the time
is right to buy the goods that they need.
16% of Italians believe this. If this growth were to continue in the coming months, it would
bode well for the recovery of consumption.

Italians increasingly attentive to the health value of food
Nutrition is one of the most hotly debated topics of our era. We have
focused on the eating habits of Italian consumers and the most significant
finding is certainly that of a new approach to food, with ever greater
attention to the health value of food and awareness that a healthy diet is
the most appropriate means to prevent and manage physical dysfunctions
such as high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes and obesity.
BASIC
The analysis suggests that 57% of Italians consider themselves overweight
and 53% (46% in 2011) would like to lose weight: to lose weight, 75% intend
to change their diet (83% in 2011), 73% to do physical exercises (54% in
2011). Of the most widespread changes in diet, fighting fat remains the
top priority for 64% of Italians.
With regard to the distinctive features of food, we are able to identify
three macro-areas in which consumers are most interested and for
which sales have grown, bucking the trend of contraction relative
to the recession.
Italians mainly look for, among other things, 100%
natural products (considered important by 45% of
the population), no artificial colorings (indicated
by 43%), GMO-free (42%), made with vegetable/
fruit and without artificial flavors (36%), high in
fiber (30%), organic and with natural flavorings
(26%).
To confirm this, organic foods recorded revenues
of €866 million in 2014, a 14% increase compared
to the previous year.

"Free-from" products often offer a health benefit:
cholesterol free (important for 35% of respondents),
fat free (29%), sodium free (28%), sugar free (27%),
calorie free (22%). Italians are also concerned with
portion control (21%) as well as carbohydrate-free
(18%), low fructose (16%), caffeine-free (12%) and
gluten free (11%) products.
Different “free-from” and more easily digestible
products have grown in the last year: low-fat chips and
cheese (revenues of €25 million, +10%), lactose-free
milk (€477 million, +15%) and gluten-free products
(€101 million, +31%).

Having “more” of certain nutrients is important for
health; particularly products that are high in fiber,
whole-grain, enriched with calcium, proteins and
vitamins are in demand.
An increase in sales of dietary supplements has
been measured, which have generated revenues of
€232 million (+3%) in 2014, and whole-grain foods
(sales of €235 million, +11%).

Food as a source of well-being is a growing trend, offering advantages
not only for consumers but also manufacturers and supermarkets,
which should be aware of the change in consumer mindset in
order to implement policies for the development of new products,
increasingly natural and decreasingly processed.

CONSUMER KPI
In the second quarter of 2015, average spending per family for FMCG
was approximately €1165, down by 1.6% compared to the same period
the year before.
FMCG SALES IN EUROPE
For the fifth consecutive quarter, FMCG sector volumes in Europe
have posted a positive result. In particular, in the second quarter of
2015 growth in volumes is +0.7%. This, together with dynamic positive
prices (+1.7%), has increased FMCG revenues with an overall growth
of +2.4%. Of 21 countries, only 11 have posted negative revenues.
Most notable is the UK’s negative result due to a decline in prices,
which may, however, serve as a prelude to an increase in volumes in
the third quarter of 2015. France’s performance is good, and this is
also a significant result for Europe’s recovery as a whole.
Purchase frequency was below 50 purchases in the quarter
with a decrease of two purchases compared to the corresponding
quarter of 2014.

IN THE INDUSTRY
At the end of the first half of 2015, the negative
trend concerning the “recession” baskets was
confirmed, having been observed gradually
from the beginning of the year: Home
Cooking and Basics (especially Breakfast),
have now ceased to grow, leaving space in
Italian shopping carts for Ready-to-Eat and
Fast and Easy products. The Ready-to-Eat
segment reveals a slowdown in the purchase
of indulgent products, on the increase
during the golden era of Home Cooking and
Basics, a sign that the sacrifices made in the
entire shopping cart were compensated by
purchasing more from the impulse/indulgent
category. Today, however, there are positive
signs in the categories that have the biggest
impact on receipts, such as the products with
service content (e.g. packaged sliced meats,
gourmet ready meals and frozen ready meals)
of the Ready-to-Eat and Quick and Easy
segments. The only group that follows the
same past trend is Health and Wellness, a
set of products that, mainly thanks to Health
Benefits, also grew to double figures in June.
The world of Health Benefits is growing thanks
to the contribution of Gluten-free products:
soy milk, rice milk, pasta and cookies are the
categories guiding its growth.

Smartphones and tablets are increasingly present in the life of Italians
TV
Despite the strong drive
of the Internet, there are
still 43 million Italians who
watched television in June.
As a daily average, around
3 hours 45 minutes were spent
watching TV, with an average
minute rating of 9 million
Italians, slightly down from
the June 2014 statistic. The
monthly decline, probably also
due to changes in weather, is
strongly mitigated if the first
half of the year is taken into
consideration, with an average
audience up by 0.7%, while the
time spent in front of the TV
fell only by 1.8%.
INTERNET
The deployment of the Internet
in Italy continues to grow, with
41 million people stating that
they have Internet access,
i.e. 85.5% of the population
aged 11–74 years, up by 1.9%
compared to June 2014. The
driving force behind this growth
is the smartphone, with no less
than 30 million Italians who say
they use it as a tool to access
online content, 19.5% more than
last year. On average, nearly
22 million Italians browse the
Internet each day, up by 5.9%.
More than 60% of 18–34 year
olds do this, as well as more than
half of 35–54 year olds.

PC
The computer continues to
lose its role as a device for
online access, with a significant
decrease in daily audience
(-5.2%) and especially the
time spent using it (-19.3%).
In addition, now only 30% of
the total time Italians spend
online is via a PC.
MOBILE
Driving the growth are mobile
devices, such as smartphones
and tablets, which compared
to last year recorded doubledigit growth both in terms of
audience (+14.7%) and time
spent daily using them (+26.7%).
Daily averages of mobile access
exceed that of PC by 40% and
almost 40 minutes more are
spent on the Internet browsing
from a smartphone or tablet.
Finally, it is interesting to note
that 85.5% of this time is via
app use.

The second quarter ended with 12 million Tweets on TV. 2.2 million less than in
Q1. 2.2 million is exactly the number of Tweets posted about Sanremo. Excluding
Sanremo, the trend is consistent with the previous quarter. Talent/reality is a
particularly significant genre. Interesting numbers for talk-shows, particularly
political ones. Sport, despite occupying only 5% of TV schedules, has generated
25% of Twitter TV activity.

DATA FOR BROADCASTERS
Canale 5 is the network that has collected the most Tweets and
Impressions, with the successes of Amici (also strong in the
afternoon session broadcast in Real Time), Isola dei Famosi and
the Champions League. Of the Free-to-Air services are Raiuno,
thanks to the Festival of Sanremo, then Raidue, driven by the
results of The Voice. The large following of political talk and indepth programs on Twitter, has rewarded La7 and Raitre.
On pay-TV platforms, there are large numbers for talent shows,
particularly with Masterchef and Italy's Got Talent on Sky Uno,
good results for the TV series broadcast by Sky Atlantic and Fox
Life. On pay-TV platforms there are also channels emerging that
broadcast national and international soccer (Sky Sport e Calcio,
Mediaset Premium and Fox Sports), followed by dedicated
channels for motor sports (in particular Sky F1 and Sky Moto
GP) and other sports such as tennis and cycling (Sky Sport and
Eurosport again).
SOCIAL TV AND BRAND
In the second quarter, the overlap measured by Nielsen Social
between Twitter TV Authors, and Brand Authors was 58%.
230,000 users posted at least one Tweet about a TV program
and at least one Tweet about one of the 500 brands in this
survey. Telecommunications, Food and Beverages are the
industries that record the largest number of authors common
to both brand and TV programs.
