    Start-Up Brands See Moderately More Success than Established Food Companies

    Snack brands have seen an impressive rate of success, according to New Nutrition Business analysis.

    Investors and consultants alike are full of excitement about the success potential of start-ups. Phrases like “there’s never been a better time to launch a start-up” pop up frequently.
     
    “But the reality is that although start-ups are doing better than established companies, they are only doing a little bit better,” said food industry analyst Julian Mellentin, director of New Nutrition Business. “The success rate among start-up brands is only slightly higher than that of brands from established businesses.”
     
    To address the absence of data on rates of success or failure for start-ups, New Nutrition Business analyzed its database of start-up brands going back to 2002 to shed light on their performance.
     
    The sample comprises 267 U.S., U.K., and Australian food and beverage start-ups that launched products in the years 2002-2016. The sample focuses on snacking, beverages, and dairy (all strongly over-represented among start-ups) as well as kids’ products.
     
    The recent analysis found an overall start-up success rate of 67% (almost the same result as 2016); and an overall failure rate of 33%.
     
    “But if you define ‘real’ success as distribution in mass-market retailers, as opposed to being in niche or regional distribution—which is what most shareholders want—then the success rate falls to 41%,” noted Mellentin.
     
    For comparison, New Nutrition Business also analyzed a sample of 288 brands from established companies—not start-ups—that were launched in 2013 and listed that year in Mintel’s GNPD new product database. They came from the same countries and categories as the start-up sample.
     
    Their overall success rate (whether a brand was in mass distribution or niche) was 54%. “That’s less impressive than the start-ups, but not so far behind,” Mellentin said.
     
    Snacking: A Clear Winner
    Mellentin said that if you want to maximize your chances of success and reduce your risk of failure, make your product a snack. “If you had launched a start-up food or beverage business during the years 2002-2016, you would have been most likely to succeed if your launch was a snack or a mini-meal.”
     
    The success rate for snacking start-ups is an impressive 72.5%, compared to 53% for established companies.
     
    That makes sense, Mellentin said. “Snacking makes good sense as a place for a start-up—the products are usually shelf-stable and have a long shelf-life, eliminating the supply chain and wastage problems that kills many start-ups in chilled products.”
