KEY POINTS
Dean Foods filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Tuesday.
The latest sign of upheaval: Dean Foods, the nation’s largest milk
maker, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Tuesday. The Dallas-based
company is engaged in discussions with the Dairy Farmers of America,
the biggest dairy co-operative, to sell all or part of its business.
But if they clear antitrust hurdles, and successfully buy Dean Foods out
of bankruptcy, they will still need to contend with the big shifts that are
occuring in demand.
Here are 5 charts that show why the milk processor filed for
bankruptcy:
Bottled water, which has exploded in popularity since the turn of the
century, has been stealing customers from milk. Bottled water appeals
to consumers who are on the go and health conscious, although
increased concern about plastic waste and pollution has led its own
growth to slow in recent years. However, some people are still drinking
water instead of milk. They just bring it along in a reusable bottle.
In the last four years, sales of nondairy milks have risen 23%,
according to Nielsen data. Alternatives like soy and almond milk have
become popular as health-conscious consumers have grown wary of
dairy.
Trendy coffee shops like Stumptown Coffee or Blue Bottle Coffee have
also introduced their customers to nondairy milks by making lattes with
alternatives, such as oat milk.
Dean Foods owns Good Karma, which makes flaxseed-based milk and
yogurt alternatives, but the majority of its portfolio is dairy products. In
2013, the company spun off WhiteWave, the parent company of Silk
and a leading maker of soy and almond milks.
Out of all nondairy milks, almond is the most popular. Soy, rice and
coconut milks have seen sales decline in the 52 weeks ended Oct. 16,
according to Nielsen.
Mounting losses
Dean Foods has reported net losses in seven out of its last eight
quarters as increased competition has led to declining volumes and
plant closures.
In 2018, Dean Foods held 12.5% of the market share for milk,
according to Euromonitor data. Euromonitor is projecting that the
company’s market share will fall to 12.1% during 2019 but will still hold
onto its top spot.
