在代購,、海淘增長迅猛的沖擊下,嬰幼兒配方奶粉行業(yè)競爭白熱化,,而隨著奶粉企業(yè)不斷試水電商,,奶粉行業(yè)的價格戰(zhàn)愈演愈烈,這些因素都在蠶食奶粉企業(yè)的利潤,。貝因美2014年度業(yè)績出爐,,利潤下降88.88%;由蒙??毓傻难攀坷ツ陜衾麧檮t下滑43.1%,。
相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)顯示,2014年奶粉的銷售噸數(shù)為700萬噸,,營業(yè)額出現(xiàn)4.2%的增長,,與往年10%至20%的增長率相比顯得有些落寞。
數(shù)據(jù)顯示,以出廠價計算,,2014年嬰幼兒配方奶粉的銷售額是700億元,,其中通過海淘代購的為100億元,前20家企業(yè)的銷售額是500億元,,剩下的企業(yè)占據(jù)了100億元,。
過去一年外資奶粉品牌的市場份額首度出現(xiàn)下滑,AC尼爾森公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示,,銷量排名前十的品牌中,,內(nèi)資奶粉品牌在數(shù)量上幾乎與外資品牌持平。
盡管如此,,中國巨大的市場潛力依然吸引著外資奶粉品牌不斷加碼,,近年來歐洲奶粉品牌不斷涌入中國市場,其中不乏一些高端品牌,,中國奶粉品牌的售價也不斷刷新,,目前市場上售價最高的奶粉是荷蘭海普諾凱1897嬰幼兒配方奶粉,每罐的零售價達到了458元/900克,。為了在中國市場獲得更長遠的發(fā)展,,外資奶粉紛紛通過不同方式加碼中國市場。連續(xù)兩年獲得市場占有率第一的惠氏營養(yǎng)品今年將在全國20余個城市舉辦500多場“向母乳致敬”活動,,而海普諾凱1897近日宣布和北大啟動一項長達兩年的科研項目,。
另一個趨勢性的變化是,在政策的推動下,,國內(nèi)嬰幼兒奶粉領(lǐng)域中內(nèi)外資合作共同發(fā)展已經(jīng)成為一種潮流,。雅培和恒天然聯(lián)合簽署協(xié)議,計劃在中國共同投資興建一個奶牛養(yǎng)殖基地,。全球五大乳業(yè)巨頭之一的荷蘭皇家菲仕蘭有限公司與中國輝山乳業(yè)控股有限公司也宣布成立合資公司,,新西蘭新萊特則選擇與新希望乳業(yè)開展合作。
“嬰幼兒奶粉業(yè)進入價格下行通道”
自2013年國家發(fā)改委對奶粉品牌進行反壟斷調(diào)查,,惠氏,、貝因美先后宣布降價,這也拉開了奶粉行業(yè)降價潮的序幕,,2014年奶粉行業(yè)的價格戰(zhàn)愈演愈烈,,隨著君樂寶等奶粉行業(yè)的低價攪局者出現(xiàn)以及電商渠道的興起,奶粉行業(yè)的降價方式也越來越多樣,。
“嬰幼兒奶粉行業(yè)已經(jīng)進入價格下行通道,,2015年價格戰(zhàn)將更加兇猛。”宋亮指出,,奶粉行業(yè)價格進入下行通道,,原因一是產(chǎn)能過剩;其次則是企業(yè)試水電商,由于壓縮流通環(huán)節(jié),,價格下行,;第三則是中國市場與國際接軌,海淘和代購的沖擊,。(中國進出口網(wǎng))
