Throughout the years, Hong Kong companies have been purchasing large quantities of

imported food from abroad for both the local and mainland markets. Hong Kong imports over

95% of food supplies due to limited domestic production. It is one of the top markets in the

world for food and beverages, processed, fresh and frozen gourmet products.

As the huge demand of the Mainland China continues to grow, Hong Kong is also a

distribution and trading centre for imported food and beverage destined for China as well as

for the other SAR of Macao, for Taiwan and some ASEAN Countries (Vietnam, etc.) In 2017,

Hong Kong imports around 23 billion USD of processed food and beverage; while roughly

1/3 of this (8 billion USD) is re-exported to Mainland China, Taiwan etc.

In Hong Kong, there are 8,500 companies in the food trading and processing sector,

approximately 400 bakery shops; more than 60 ice cream stores, and more than 270 coffee

shops.

In recent decades, consumers tend to focus more on organic products, healthy (low-fat) food

products. Increasingly, responsible and health-conscious parents have been switching to

organic foods for their kids even if it's more costly.

Furthermore, Hong Kong now develops a new trend of home cooking. Hectic city dwellers

are usually burdened by enormous work pressures. However, cooking class now becomes a

popular choice, for example: dessert class, bakery class, Chinese and western cuisines class.

Attending cooking class nowadays is a fun and leisure hobby. Those with myriad affairs to

attend discover that preparing delicious dishes can be developed into a lifetime interest that

also relaxes their minds during the process.

Also, with the advent of bread machine and all the food process machines, people in Hong

Kong now enjoy and prefer cooking and preparing food with good quality ingredients at

home. Responsible and health-conscious parents have been switching to organic foods for

their kids even if it's more costly.

Various food safety issues raised consumers’ concerns about their daily food intake. They

were increasingly aware about the composition of processed food and beverages, as they

sought to minimize their consumption of chemical additives. These factors also impacted

consumer choice of health and wellness products during. Consumers were increasingly

turning to naturally healthy and organic variants as an alternative to the usual better for you

products.

Foods categorized as natural and beneficial to health are fit with local consumers’ taste and

preference. The purchase of organic food is expecting to be a major trend in Hong Kong’s

food and beverage market. Local consumers are being more conscious on food safety issues

and nutrition values of food products, and demanding for safe, organic and health food

products. Consumers today prefer transparency in all products that they purchased. They are

more likely to consume products with clear indications and labels of nutritional value on the

package for health foods. There is positive perception of European countries as a supplier of

fresh, quality and safe products in the market.

As a result of the ageing population, consumers are seeking easy-to-prepare, high quality

nutritional foods to compensate for their lowered taste sensitivity. Food manufacturers are

introducing low carbohydrate or added sugar foods. The slimness culture in Hong Kong has

also given rise to the development of “dietary foods” that contain added fibre to make the

food more filling and delay digestion.

As consumers become more demanding in terms of food diversification and safety, product

segmentation in the food market is expected to become increasingly prevalent, leading to the

creation of distinct brands. At present, the battle is to establish those brands, with mid- to

high-end consumers expected to demonstrate a significant loyalty to companies that embody

the premium end of the sector.

Ice Cream and Frozen Desserts Market in Hong Kong

With the rapid advertising from retailers, the sales of ice cream retained a steady growth in

the market. Single portion dairy ice cream is the most common type of purchase as impulse

ice cream can be easily bought via local stores. In terms of local consumers’ taste, chocolate

coated vanilla ice cream or plain vanilla ice creams are the most popular. Various fruit or

green tea flavours offered by Japanese and Korean brands are also well-received by local

consumers. While ice cream sticks is more favourable over cone for Hong Kong consumers,

the mixture of outer chocolate layer, nuts within and ice cream inside is considered to be a

perfect match for many local consumers.

Coffee Market in Hong Kong

Driven by rising coffee culture, the coffee market is continued to grow in Hong Kong’s

market. With an increasing number of large chain coffee stores and personalized cafes, Hong

Kong is under growing popularity in coffee culture. Since coffee drinking seems as a

fashionable lifestyle among teenagers, the market segment has been enlarged to the younger

population. Sophisticated consumers are demanding for higher quality of food and beverage.

They are more likely to brew their preferred coffee at home and office. Consumers are likely

to own coffee machine for single-serve purpose. The most sought after machines for buyers

today are the higher-priced, single-serve, capsule-based varieties. As a result, the

consumption of coffee capsule was still big in 2017.

Chocolate Market in Hong Kong

Chocolates are increasingly experimenting with new ingredients and flavors to meet changing

local consumer needs. They are also innovating new confectionery products, which have

reduced sugar and fat levels for health-conscious people. Innovation in the confectionery

market has eliminated the addition of ingredients and additives containing high sugar. Instead,

sugar-free products have been introduced in a bid to improve the health of the

consumers. Besides, the hot and humid climate from July till September in Hong Kong is a

major challenge to chocolate industry players. To retain consumers in hot seasons, some

chocolate shops serve drinks or ice cream to provide a variety of choices.

Bakery & Pastry Market in Hong Kong

Due to medical reasons, the perception among local consumers is that low sugar products are

healthier and more natural. Smaller versions of bakery items are appeal to consumers’ desire

to enjoy the taste and texture without worrying about calories. Mini-portion sizes of about

two to four bites are the growing trend, since carry less calories compared to their full-size

counterparts. Mini pies, petite croissants, and bite-sized cakes are the latest in this category.

Under the Public Health and Municipal Services Ordinance, there are specific legal

requirements for the import of perishable or high-risk food namely, meat, milk, frozen

confections and marine products. In general, the control process involves a pre-entry import

licensing system, verification of health certificates and prior approval of source of

manufacture. In other words, local importers are required to apply for import permits, while

overseas exporters need to supply their agents or importers with necessary documentation

such as health certificates from their own government.

For importing ice cream/ frozen confection:

Food and Environmental Hygiene Department of the Government of the Hong Kong Special

Administrative Region is responsible for implementing territory-wide policies of food safety

control and enforcing the food legislation.

(a) The full name and address of the frozen confection processing plant;

(b) The law of the country of origin governing the production of frozen confections;

(c) Empty containers or wrappers of the frozen confection with labels;

(d) Information on the heat treatment method of the frozen confection and facilities, including

production equipment and water supply, in the processing plant;

(e) A certificate from an appropriate authority in the country of origin for the purpose of -

Certifying the effectiveness and efficiency of the heat treatment method in sterilizing the

frozen confection and that the products have been handled, processed and packed under

hygienic conditions

Showing the chemical and bacteriological quality of the products; and

(f) Details of ingredients, including colouring matters, stablisers and sweeting agents, etc.,

and their amount in the frozen confection.

For other imported food:

Food importers, through close liaison with exporting countries, are responsible for ensuring

that food items they procure comply with the local legislation. To help ensure hygienic

standards of food, importers are encouraged to obtain health certificates issued by health

authorities of countries of origin to accompany their imports certifying that the food products

concerned are fit for human consumption.

The basic food law in Hong Kong is laid down in Part V of the Public Health and Municipal

Services Ordinance (Cap. 132). The main provisions cover general protection for food

purchasers, offences in connection with sale of unfit food and adulterated food, composition

and labeling of food, food hygiene, seizure and destruction of unfit food.

Another food law in Hong Kong, the Food Safety Ordinance (Cap. 612), provides new food

safety control measures, including a registration scheme for food importers and food

distributors and a requirement for food traders to maintain proper records of the movements

of food to enhance food traceability. It also empowers the authorities to make regulations for

tightening import control on specific food types and to make orders to prohibit the import and

supply of problem food and order the recall of such food.
