Key Insights

The Food Ingredients industry is an essential component in the Food & Beverage supply chain. Positioned amid raw materials and final products, ingredients provide a wide range of applications, including further product development and improving consumer health across the Food & Beverage landscape. Food ingredients improve product taste, texture and appearance while enhancing shelf life and nutritional value. This $76 billion industry is characterized by high barriers to entry, significant organic growth, and strong margins. Historical growth has primarily been fueled by increasing demand from both consumers and food producers for products derived from specialty ingredients which offer functional and nutritional benefits. The sector has largely outperformed the broader Food & Beverage market over the past decade. We expect these trends will continue to drive growth:

• Favorable Sector-Specific Trends: While ingredient sales span the globe, manufacturers have begun to optimize supply chains and establish regional production, R&D, and sales departments. This allows companies to capitalize on local market knowledge and spur innovation which are critical to their success in new product development, improved applications of existing products, and continuing food ingredient modernization and specialization.

• Food & Beverage Long-Term Outlook: Macro trends impacting the global Agricultural and Food & Beverage sectors are of major significance to Food Ingredients industry performance. Notably, market forces such as a growing middle class; rising disposable income in developing countries; changing consumer lifestyles; increased adoption of healthy, convenient foods; and rising demand for meal replacements and ready-to-eat foods are all sparking demand for growth and innovation in the Food Ingredients industry.

Food ingredients companies are challenged to address growing demand for and increased specialization of food products to include changing tastes and preferences. The most successful companies are proactive and take the necessary measures to address evolving consumer habits, including:

• Adapting product portfolios to satisfy new consumer trends and local regulations, resulting in a shift towards offering more value-added ingredients (versus traditional synthetic ingredients) • Increasing local manufacturing presence and production capacity to meet customer demand • Attracting a skilled workforce, retaining existing talent, and automating production lines • Anticipating consumer needs concerning food properties, safety, traceability, and sustainability

Introduction

Food ingredients provide a wide range of applications and are an essential component in the Food & Beverage supply chain. Ingredients not only include substances added to food to achieve a desired effect, they also include food additives which serve specific technical or functional purposes during processing, storage, and packaging. There are two types of food additives: • Direct Food Additives: Direct additives impart specific technological or functional qualities and constitute a large segment of the food additives market. Examples include stabilizers used to help prevent separation of nutrients in fortified milk products and phosphates used as leavening agents in baked goods. • Indirect Food Additives: Indirect additives are not intentionally added to food but may be present in trace amounts as a result of processing, packaging, shipping, or storage. Examples include adhesives or packaging components that are declared as safe materials come in contact with food in lesser amounts. Food ingredients are derived primarily from natural or chemical sources. Natural sources include minerals; plants such as seaweed and kelp; microbiological substances (e.g., probiotics); and even crops or food items that would otherwise be discarded such as corn or citrus fruit rinds, respectively. Artificial ingredients are derived from organic chemicals such as hydrocarbons.

Uses

Food ingredients allow manufacturers to produce a wide variety of foods that are enticing, tasty, nutritious, consistent, and safe. Though used in small quantities, ingredients provide a major contribution to the vast and varied food supply chain, ensuring that foods look and taste the way consumers demand. Major uses for food ingredients include:

To support nutrition To maintain product To prevent spoilage during delivery quality and freshness transport, storage and sale

To extend shelf-life and To make some foods To aid in the processing prevent food waste more affordable and preparation of foods

To make foods more appealing and ensure that familiar foods have consistent qualities

Types of Food Ingredients

Appearance, freshness, taste and texture are a few of the major contributions of food ingredients. They help to maintain certain desirable qualities associated with various foods by aiding in the processing and preparation of foods. Based on the functions they serve in food processing, food ingredients are classified in the following key categories by The International Food Additives Council (IFAC) - a global association representing food ingredients manufacturers that strives to promote science-based regulation and the global harmonization of food ingredient standards and specifications:

Acid Regulators Acid Regulators are used to control and alter the level of acidity or alkalinity for food processing, taste, and safety. They can also be used as thickening and flavoring agents. Adequate control of pH levels is important to inhibit growth of hazardous bacteria and ensure a longer shelf life of food products. Regulators can be organic or mineral acids, bases, neutralizing agents, or buffering agents. Common examples include citric, acetic, ascorbic, lactic, propionic, and sorbic acids. Usage: Bread, fruit drinks, pie filling, meat and poultry, wine, jams and jellies, processed dairy foods.

The Acidity Regulators market size was worth $5.2 billion in 2018 and is expected to experience significant demand in the future owing to increasing application in beverages, condiments & dressings, sauces, bakery & confectionery and processed food.

Anti-Caking Agents Powdered foods often clump together and change texture after absorbing water. Anti-Caking Agents help to prevent this from taking place by keeping solid food in its free-flowing form. Many Anti-Caking Agents are derived from natural sources, such as silicates - minerals that are among the most common on earth. Calcium silicate is a common anti-caking agent found in table salt, which helps absorb both oil and water to reduce salt particles from clumping together. Other agents include the multi-functional mannitol (also a humectant, sweetener, and texturizer) and microcrystalline cellulose (also a binder, stabilizer, and bulking agent). Usage: Table salt, flour, sugar products, powdered milk, grated cheese, cake mixes, egg mixes.

The Food Anti-Caking Agents market is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.4%, growing from $634.8 million to $822 million during 2014-2020.

5 NEWSLETTER FOOD & BEVERAGE www.globalma.com Introduction

Colors Colors are used to balance and enhance naturally-occurring colors in foods. In addition, they are often used to give colorless food life, making it more appealing and fun for consumers. Two major types of Food Colors include natural colors, often exempt from certification because they are naturally sourced from vegetables and minerals, and synthetic colors which require approval from food safety authorities. Some of the most commonly used colors include anthocyanin, carotenoids, chlorophyll, and turmeric. Usage: Candy, margarine, beverages, cheese, jellies, yogurt, baked goods.

The Food Colors Market is estimated to be $3.9 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach $5.1 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period

Food Cultures Food Cultures are safe, live bacteria, yeasts, or molds used in food production and a characteristic food ingredient. They occur naturally in foods or are added to provide acidification, texture, and flavor. They also provide nutritional benefits while helping to extend the shelf life of foods. Fermentation and inhibition of unwanted micro- organisms (protective) are key functions of food cultures. Microbial food cultures include bacterial food cultures, fungi, and yeast and can broadly be divided into probiotics and starter cultures. Usage: Dairy, meat, fish, bread, juice, fermented foods.

Protective cultures are and have always been an integral part of food cultures, projected to grow at a CAGR of 23.6% from $101.1 million in 2018 to $292.1 million by 2023

Emulsifiers/ Stabilizers/ Thickeners

Emulsifiers allow water and oils to remain mixed together in an emulsion. Stabilizers, thickeners, and other gelling agents give foods a firmer texture. Though the latter names are not true emulsifiers, they help to stabilize emulsions. Thickeners enhance the texture of foods while giving low-fat, low- calorie foods the texture of full-fat, full-calorie options. These ingredients help to maintain the appearance of foods and preserve freshness and quality. Common examples of emulsifiers include sodium alginate, agar agar, pectin, carrageenan, tragacanth, and xanthan gum. Usage: Margarine, ice cream, bread, chocolate, processed meats.

The Food Emulsifiers market is estimated to grow from $2.9 billion to $3.7 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5% during 2018-2023, mainly driven by the rise in consumption of processed foods

6 NEWSLETTER FOOD & BEVERAGE www.globalma.com Introduction

Firming Agents Firming Agents stimulate a firming action and are added to precipitate residual pectin, thus strengthening the structure of food to prevent collapse during processing. Their major applications are to give a product consistency in texture, shelf life, and strength from improved binding ability.

Common firming agents include aluminum sulphate, calcium chloride, calcium lactate, and potassium aluminum sulphate. Usage: Processed or canned vegetables and fruits, cheese, fish, pickles, relish.

The Firming Agents segment is expected to be the fastest growing segment of the Food Glazing Agents market which was estimated at $2.6 billion in 2015 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 8.4% from 2016-2024

Flavors/Flavor Enhancers Flavors improve the taste of food. Natural and Artificial Flavors are the two main types and are used to enhance a flavor already present in food or impart flavor. The most widely-known flavor enhancer is monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is commonly used in Asian foods. Other examples include glutamic acid, guanylic acid, mono-ammonium glutamate, disodium inosinate, ethyl maltol, glycine, and sodium salt. Usage: Candy, soft drinks, sauces, salad dressing, nutritional and dietary foods, and cereals.

The Flavor Enhancers market is projected to reach $8.2 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2017-2022

Foaming/Anti-foaming Agents Foaming Agents help to produce foams in foods by reducing surface tension. They are commonly made from naturally-occurring materials such as licorice root and tree bark (e.g., quillaja extract). Anti-Foaming agents reduce the formation of foam in liquids and are produced from readily available materials like silicates and minerals. Usage in Foaming Agents: Beverages, flavored waters. Usage in Anti-Foaming Agents: Oils, jams and jellies, juice, sauces, liquid eggs.

Key companies in the Foaming/Anti-foaming Agent market, that primarily caters to the desserts, bakery and beverages markets, include Ingredion, Naturex, ABITEC, Gelita, Nature S.A., Rousselot, Adams Food Ingredients, Garuda International, and Desert King International

Humectants Humectants help to retain or prevent the loss of moisture in foods by controlling or joining water activity. They also aid in increasing shelf life by lowering microbial activity. Sorbitol is a humectant derived from natural sugars in certain fruits, vegetables, and seaweed which has moisture-stabilizing properties. Glycerin is commonly used to control the moisture levels in foods that contain a mix of oil and water. Other well-known humectants include honey, sugar alcohols, glucose syrup, egg yolk, egg white, molasses, and alpha hydroxy acids such as lactic acid. Usage: Dairy, fruits and vegetables, confections, baked goods.

At a CAGR of 7%, the Humectants market is projected to reach $26.3 billion during 2017-2022, dominated by products obtained from synthetic sources

Preservatives Preservatives are used to prevent spoilage and maintain the appearance, taste, and texture of food. They are available in natural, artificial, and chemical forms.

Examples of natural food preservatives include sugars, salts, and vinegars which are used to delay bacteria growth in foods. Examples of chemical preservatives include benzoates, nitrites, sulphites, and sorbates.

Usage: Jellies, cured meat, dried fruit, oils, cereal, dressings, fruits and vegetables, baked goods.

The Food Preservatives market is projected to reach $2.9 billion by 2021, from $2.6 billion in 2016, at a CAGR of ~2%, driven by demand for food products with extended shelf life and higher safety and quality standards

Sweeteners Sweeteners are a low- to no-calorie sugar substitute. They are used in small quantities to intensify or achieve the same level of sweetness as natural sugars. Sweeteners are derived from a variety of sources such as plants (e.g., stevia) and artificial chemicals. Polyols or low-calorie sugar substitutes are gaining popularity, primarily driven by growing demand from health-conscious consumers. Examples include erythritol, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, isomalt, lactitol, maltitol, mannitol, sorbitol, and xylitol. Usage: Soft drinks, canned foods, jellies and jams, baked goods, candy, dairy products.

The Polyol Sweeteners market was valued at $2.3 billion in 2016. It is projected to grow to a projected value of $3.3 billion at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2017-2022

M&A Overview

Overview

The global Food Ingredients market is highly-fragmented and comprised of diversified manufacturers such as Archer Daniels Midland Company and Kerry; large ingredients producers such as International Flavors & Fragrances, Koninklijke DSM, , Ingredion, and Sensient; and small- and mid-sized companies with niche product portfolios. Many innovative, small companies are offering unique product lines that include faster formulation products and customized blends (e.g., JMH International, Redbrook Ingredients, and Campus). The shift from commodity to valued-added ingredients is expected to drive M&A with innovative, niche players identified as prime acquisition targets. Developed countries will see transaction activity rise, with technology, skilled labor, regulation, and strict patent protection acting as key drivers of deal volume. Emerging markets are also expected to show some incremental growth in M&A activity due to the rising number of health-conscious consumers. Cash-rich companies with sustainable operating cash flows, notably Givaudan, , and Frutarom (acquired by IFF in mid-2018 for $7.1 billion), have exhibited an increasing appetite for externalgrowth. Large corporations are looking for new ways to integrate small companies into their organizations, with an observed shift from the traditional M&A integration model (i.e., consolidation, integration, and delivery of immediate synergies) to a model granting the target more autonomy into the group. Food ingredients transaction multiples have increased sharply, driven by strong strategic buyer demand, substantial availability of private equity capital, and low interest rates.

Food companies will focus on sustainable ingredients to meet consumer demand, and innovative use of technology will play a greater role in helping to protect the environment. New approaches will be required, including strategic partnerships involving some unexpected allies. Greater collaboration across private companies, local/national governments and NGOs is also expected. Cargill is seeking products made with sustainable ingredients and using science to address sustainability challenges in agriculture and food production and to increase traceability. - Cargill Communications Director

Major Deal Drivers

Accessing New Markets: Long-term success in the Food Ingredients market is contingent upon having a global presence. For this reason, companies often seek geographic expansion to not only increase their customer base, but also to broaden the scope of product innovation to address different consumer preferences across markets. In 2018, Firmenich expanded its presence in South Africa with the acquisition of Flavourome, an established flavours company in the region. Roha, one of the leading global manufacturers and marketers in the food colour segment, acquired Italy-based Essential SRL in 2017.

Shift Towards Higher Value-Added Products: Commodity ingredients companies are looking to expand into the Specialty Ingredients segment to increase returns and reduce volatility. This move is illustrated by ADM with the $3.1 billion acquisition of Wild Flavours and DowDuPont’s $1.2 billion acquisition of FMC Corporation’s Health & Nutrition business in 2017. Natural, organic and plant-based ingredients companies are targets, underscored by Givaudan’s acquisition of Naturex and Sensient’s acquisition of the Natural Colour Business from GlobeNatural, both in 2018.

Access to New Technology: As innovation in the Ingredients industry is a key driver of growth, small companies with proven track records in innovation are targeted by large corporations, such as Lesaffre taking a majority stake in U.S. bioscience company Enverra. “Our acquisition of Ganeden strengthens our position in the nutritional actives market and enables us to use additional technologies to build our immune health and gut health market platforms,” said Frank Hayes, director of corporate affairs for Kerry Group, referring the acquisition in October 2017.

Consolidation: The Food Ingredients sector remains highly fragmented and is consolidating as companies accelerate acquisition growth strategies to increase market share and position, leverage cross-selling opportunities and expand capacity. Following the DowDuPont merger, the group announced that it will invest $10 billion in its food solutions business. Frutarom, acquired by IFF last year, has implemented an aggressive external growth strategy doubling in size every four years. “During the past five years, our many acquisitions have given us around 10,000 new customers who are now buying many solutions that we could not offer them in the past,” said Ori Yehudai, former CEO of Frutarom.

Larger Companies’ Appetite for Start-Ups: Start-ups are now widely recognized as invaluable sources of innovation, fueling growth and providing pioneering business solutions. Food & Beverage industry partnerships between start-ups and large firms will continue to grow as highlighted recently by Unilever and Cargill. Examples in the Food Ingredients industry include the collaboration of Naturex and Neovia to study and develop new natural and innovative animal nutrition and health solutions and the acquisition of PowderPure by IFF to further expand offerings for clean label solutions.

Increased Private Equity and Venture Capital Investment: Private equity and venture capital funds have been active investors in middle-market Food ingredients companies, with the sector’s organic growth, high margins, and consolidation opportunities being key draws. Since 2012, more than 34 financial investments were made in the Food Ingredients sector. Private equity groups are very supportive of strategies to accelerate external growth and international development. Solina, a French company specializing in taste and visual solutions for the meat industry, has completed more than eight acquisitions in Europe since its first buyout in 2012 backed by IK Investment and then Ardian in 2015.

13 NEWSLETTER FOOD & BEVERAGE www.globalma.com M&A Overview

M&A Activity Overview

The Food Ingredients industry has seen significant consolidation, averaging more than 40 transactions per year between 2000-2007. Transaction activity slowed following the global financial crisis as the industry shifted focus to organic growth and R&D investment, during which time a growing number of small players entered the market. In 2015, M&A activity began to reaccelerate as small, innovative players sought strategic partners with greater access to capital, brand recognition, and geographic reach. Larger Food & Beverage companies have shown an increasing preference for suppliers with international production and supply chains, which has been a catalyst for increased consolidation. Though the activity volume ceased in 2018, International Flavors & Fragrances Inc.’s ~$7 billion acquisition deal of Frutarom Industries contributed to major M&A value. M&A Activity (2015-2019YTD)

This trend is further indicated by robust transaction volume, strong valuation multiples, and substantial growth of smaller companies. This is portrayed by Beijing Yongyu Investment Management’s $1.2 billion acquisition of Baolingbao Biology in the China market.

However, the company has seen a fall of (34.4%) in share price in last one year as the sales of aged whiskey has lagged as per the company’s expectation. • McCormick & Company, which specializes in manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of spices, seasoning mixes, condiments, and other flavorful products to the food industry, witnessed a 119.1% increase in share price during the last five years, primarily attributed to acquisitive growth (2 transactions completed in five years). • Specialty-driven ingredients have shown higher share price growth compared to their commodity-driven ingredients peers.
