Why was the report written?
This report is the result of an extensive survey drawn from Canadean's exclusive panel of leading food processing and manufacturing companies. The report provides the reader with a definitive analysis of the industry outlook and explores how opportunities and demand are set to change in 2013-2014. Additionally, this report also presents comparative analysis between four years of survey results. Furthermore, it not only grants access to the opinions and strategies of business decision makers and competitors, but also examines their actions surrounding business priorities.

The report also understands the critical factors influencing supplier selection and forecasts the possible changes in procurement budgets of food manufacturers. Most secondary research reports are based on general industry drivers and do not understand the industry executives' attitude and changing behaviors, creating a gap in presenting the business outlook of the industry. In an effort to bridge this gap, Canadean created this primary research-based report by gathering the opinions of multiple stake holders in the value-chain of the global food manufacturers' industry.

What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
A comparative analysis of survey results indicates that the global food manufacturing industry is more upbeat and optimistic about revenue growth in 2013 as 68% and 49% of food manufacturers and supplier respondents are optimistic about the revenue growth of their companies respectively.
