What: Kantar has released the results of its yearly Brand Footprint report, based on research of 72% of the global population.
Why it matters: In Latin America, 8 of the top 10 brands belong in the food and beverage category. Brands can refer to Kantar's report to find out what these brands have in common, and why they are so close to the Latin American consumer's heart.
Kantar has released the 2019 edition of the Brand Footprint report, a study of this years most chosen fast-moving consumer goods based on research of 72% of the global population; a total of one billion households in 49 countries across five continents, accounting for a staggering 85% of the global GDP.
According to the study, Coca-Cola reigns steady for the seventh year in a row as the worlds most chosen brand, purchased over 5.9 billion times. Stepping on its heels are Colgate, the only brand chosen by more than half of the worlds population (6 out of 10 households globally), and Maggi, raising consumers choice up to 7%.
In Latin America, the food and beverage categories dominated the top ten (except for Colgate, at second place, featuring a 89.6% penetration in 2018). Falling behind Coca Cola, the ultimate champion, are staple brands Bimbo and Maggi taking up the third and fifth spot, followed by the soft-drink category represented by Lala, Pepsi, Nescafé, and Tang ranking from 6 to 9, and kitchen basic Knorr at the 9th spot.
The study revealed an important turning point in Latam: the FMCG market has brought its growth to a grinding halt after seeing an 8% volume increase just a decade ago. Consumers are changing their habits and priorities, challenging brands and manufacturers to keep up with their new frames of mind. Health and environmental sustainability have become imperative features of modern products that seek to thrive with the millennial consumer force. The following is a list of the top 10 most-chosen brands in Latin America.
