Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c16695) has announced the addition of Impulse Food and Drink Channels in Denmark to their offering.

The increasingly fast-paced nature of consumer lifestyles has created a cash rich but time poor society. The focus on formal meal times continues to diminish, with "on-the-go" eating and snacking becoming increasingly popular.

Food and drink manufacturers are now being forced to rethink their strategies and are looking to impulse food and drink channels as an increasingly important way of reaching consumers.

This new Impulse Food and Drink Channels in Denmark report analyses food and drink sales through foodservice, kiosks, service stations, duty free and vending machines. The number of outlets, key companies and the factors influencing food and drink sales including, economic context, consumer lifestyles, tourism and seasonal consumption are analysed. Forecasts to 2009 illustrate how the market is set to develop.

Report highlights:

-Despite the total number of impulse food and drink outlets in Denmark declining steadily between 1999 and 2004, sales have increased

-The Danish foodservice market demonstrated moderate growth towards in the last few years. The main area of growth going forward will be chained outlets that focus on healthier foods.

-Sales through the service station channel are rising due to increased focus on service station convenience stores. Profit margins on petrol and oil are low and competition is fierce, so sales of consumer goods play a vital role in the survival of many service stations

-The number of vending machines increased by over 12% from 2002 to 2003 – a development that is expected to continue.

-The number of duty-free shops has remained relatively stable. Turnover, however, has dropped since the abolition of duty free sales for travellers within the EU in 1999.
