For example, the sales of Italian food products in the United States reached nearly $4 billion in 2008.
Besides the numerical value itself, it is important to notice changes in food consumption trends in the US market.
Over the last 10 years, there has been a strong trend towards less tainted and processed and more natural and organic food. This is a great opportunity for foreign companies wanting to export food products to the US. As with other developed markets, we must account for an extremely segmented and strongly consumer-oriented distribution model with a strong push towards food marketing. In the United States, as it is with all other convenience goods, marketing is essential to sell food products.
And herein lies the risk for a manufacturer used to dealing with a more homogeneous and less advanced distribution.
