Definition
 Demographics: the
description of a
population in terms its
size, distribution, and
structure
MKTG 442

Issues in Demographics
 Population
 size: number of
individuals
 distribution
 across a geographic
region
 rural, urban, or
suburban
MKTG 442

Structure
 age
 economic
stratification
 occupational
distribution
 status/social class

Demographics helps
 Understand current
markets--demand for
products explained in
terms of personal
characteristics
 Predict future markets

U.S. demographic trends
 Population increasing (due to immigration)
 Increasing average age
 More small households
 Delay in marriage and children
 Fewer children per couple
 High rates of divorce
 Increasing levels of education
 Increasing ethnic diversity
 High rates of female workforce participation;
dependence on dual incomes

Japanese Demographic and Social
Trends
Zero or negative population growth
Low levels of immigration
Graying population
More one child families
Significant delays in marriage and children
High incomes in nominal terms but lower purchasing power
Prolonged economic stagnation
Intense competition for jobs and colleges
Relatively even income distribution
Low regard for many foreign products, but also some desire for
“mystique.”
 Increasing rates of workforce participation among younger
women

Chinese Population Trends
 Wide variations across geographic regions
 Population growth slowing in most regions
due to “one child policy”  children become
“little emperors”
 Highly cyclical economy with generally high
growth rates; increasing group of affluent
consumers
 Migration toward cities
 China’s entry into WTO may open the way for
agricultural imports

German Demographic and Social
Trends
 Shrinking population
 High tax rates put pressure on income
 Trend toward later marriages and fewer
children
 Distrust of immigration
 Imports from other EU countries preferred
 High female workforce participation; dual
income essential
 High levels of welfare and government
programs

Demographic and Political Trends
in the Middle East
 High birth rates
 Economies heavily dependent on price of oil;
limited economic growth
 Large disparities in income in some areas
 Limited ability to grow food in desert
environments
 Food imports dependent on political
considerations
 Female workforce participation varies

U.S. Food Consumption and
Demand
 Typical family spends 9-11% of income on
food
 Decreasing percentage spent with increasing
income, but more absolute dollars spent
(income elasticity <1)
 Immigration has influenced both food
preferences and retail formats

Comparative Food Spending
Percentages, 1994
 Philippines: 56%
 Denmark: 15% (25%
 India: 51%
 Mexico: 25% (modest

incomes, relatively high
prices)
 South Africa: 28%
 Japan: 18% (very
expensive food but high
incomes)
 West Germany: 17%

France: 15%
Netherlands: 11%

Percentages of total

non-consumer spending
such as government and
industry. U.S. figure: 7%

Some International Characteristics
 Japan: Strong emphasis on neighborhood
stores, vending machines
 Europe: Large food stores are available,
some may deliver; government protection of
smaller retailers
 Developing countries: Food often bought at
open markets

Some Food Demand Issues
 Income elasticity
 Price elasticity
Normal vs. “inferior”
goods
Cross-price elasticity
“Trading Up” within select
categories
Increased interest in
convenience foods
Conflict between demand
for healthier and “junk”
foods
Unplanned purchases and
consumption
“Functional” foods

Away-From-Home and Prepared
Foods
 48% of food expenditures on items eaten
away from home (1999)
 Large part of restaurant meals is for nonfood costs



Labor
Ambiance
Facilities
 Increase in take-out foods from restaurants
and stores

Public Food Programs
 Food stamps were
created mostly to
promote demand for
farm products (thus
only American
products)
 Only a limited amount
of food stamp value
goes toward increased
consumption (cash is
diverted elsewhere)

Some Food Marketing Issues
 Branding
 Innovation


Brand extensions and improvements to
existing product categories
New product categories
 Consumer brand loyalty: The ability to resist
promotional efforts of competitors—not
consistent choice of brand
 Multi-brand loyalty

 “Me too” products tend
to be unsuccessful
 Pricing
 Price positioning of the
brand
Options available
 Intensive vs. selective
distribution
 Promotion
 Advertising for brand
