Canned Foods: United States

ABOUT THIS REPORT

Scope & Method

This report forecasts US canned food shipments in US dollars at the manufacturers
level to 2017. Total shipments are segmented in terms of:

fruits and vegetables

tomato-based sauces
soups and stews
dog and cat food
meat and seafood
other canned products such as salad dressings, pickles and olives,
and beans.

Canned foods are processed foods that are heat treated and placed into an airtight
container. In this report, canned foods refers to processed foods packaged in cans,
bottles, or jars.
To illustrate historical trends, total shipments are provided in an annual series from
2002 to 2012; the various segments are reported at five-year intervals for 2007 and
2012. Forecasts emanate from the identification and analysis of pertinent statistical
relationships and other historical trends/events as well as their expected
progression/impact over the forecast period. Changes in quantities between reported
years of a given total or segment are typically provided in terms of five-year compound
annual growth rates (CAGRs). For the sake of brevity, forecasts are generally stated in
smoothed CAGR-based descriptions to the forecast year, such as demand is projected
to rise 3.2% annually through 2017. The result of any particular year over that period,
however, may exhibit volatility and depart from a smoothed, long-term trend, as
historical data typically illustrate.
Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided at five-year intervals with CAGRs for
the years corresponding to other reported figures. Other various topics, including
profiles of pertinent leading suppliers, are covered in this report. A full outline of report
items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
