Australia Market Update

Incite continues to see strong demand for imported food and drink products in Australian grocery channels. Australia’s grocery sector and consumer base are a perfect match for UK and EU-based food and drink brands given the Australian consumer’s reputation for embracing innovative and new products.

 

Why Australia?

 

1.        Scale. A listing with a leading grocery channel can open 900 distribution points; a multi-banner launch can reach 2,500+ points.

2.        Affinity for imported products. Despite being a major food producer, Australia's diverse population drives strong demand for innovative imported brands.

3.        Ease of doing business. If the fundamentals are sound, distributor-retailer relationships are straightforward, with clear expectations and no hidden fees.

 

Incite recently completed a successful Australian market entry project for Barebells; one of the fastest-growing protein bar brands globally. Here's what they had to say about our partnership:

 

“We were impressed by the services provided by Incite. The team is very professional and delivered excellent work on a tight timeline. Happy to recommend.” - Magnus Arver, Asia-Pacific & MENA Expansion at Vitamin Well Group

 

With a highly competitive landscape, Incite conducted an in-depth analysis of the Australian grocery market for Barebells to help them understand what is required to succeed in this market. This led to engagement with best-fit importers and distributors on behalf of the brand, laying a solid platform for the brands market entry into Australia.
