...식품업체들의 신사업 돌파구…‘쓴맛 단맛’ 사연 “의 만앞 다 실 , 구 적 계 과 인 라 구 우 돼 ” 욕 섰 간 패 체 획 프 축 선 야 입력 2012.01.26 14:21:22 조민경 기자 | cmk@newsprime.co.kr [프라임경제] ‘원자재가격 상승’, ‘가격담합’, ‘물가안정 정책’ 등 지난해 식품업계를 둘러싼 부정적인 이슈가 유난히 많았다. 이를 반영하듯 다수 식품업체의 지난해 3 분기까지 영업이익은 전년 동기대비 크게 밑돌았다. 이 가운데 여러 식품사들은 사업다각화에서 돌파구를 찾았다. 이들의 신사업 추진은 또 다른 분야에서 경쟁이 치열해진다는 것을 의미하지만 그만큼 업계에 활력을 불어넣을 것이라는 기대감을 높이기도 했다. 이 같은 식품업체들의 신사업 개척은 지난해 연초부터 활발했다. 남양유업(003920)과 동서식품, 웅진식품, 삼양사(145990) 등이 지난해 신사업을 추진한 대표적인 업체다. ◆‘부진 돌파구’ 신사업 주력 첫 스타트를 끊은 곳은 남양유업(003920). 남양유업은 ‘프렌치카페 카페믹스’를 앞세워 커피믹스 시장에 진출했다. 유가공시장 것이다. 성장세가 남양유업은 둔화됨에 또 따라 매년 성장을 한 거듭하는 커피시장을 신성장동력으로 도전장을 던졌다. 택한 임산부를 대상으로 건강기능식품시장에도 이어 지난해 5 월에는 웅진식품이 원두 로스팅에서부터 RTD(Ready-To-Drink), 에스프레소머신 렌탈 등 커피시장에 발을 들여놓았다. 기존의 음료, 주스사업을 넘어서 커피까지 사업영역을 확장하겠다는 포부를 밝혔다. 커피믹스시장의 절대강자 동서식품도 사무실 및 업소 전용 캡슐커피 머신 ‘타시모 프로페셔널’을 출시하며 캡슐커피 시장에 진출했다. 이어 10 월에는 인스턴트 원두커피 ‘카누’를 선보이며 커피전문점과의 본격 경쟁을 선언했다. 12 월에는 삼양사가 ‘큐원 BDlab’을 론칭, 뷰티∙다이어트 시장에 진출하며 지난해 신사업 진출 막차를 탔다. ◆첫해 기반 닦았다…본격 사업은 이제부터 이들 업체는 무난히 신사업 기반을 다졌다는 평을 받고 있다. 시장 진출에 앞서 소비자 니즈 분석과 철저한 시장조사가 뒷받침됐기 때문이다. 또한 기존 사업의 큰 틀에서 벗어나지 않고 영역확장 중심의 신사업을 추진한 것도 시장 안착에 한몫했다. 특히 이들 4 개 업체 중 현재 큰 성과를 거둔 곳은 지난해 가장 먼저 신사업에 뛰어든 남양유업이다. 남양유업의 커피믹스 ‘프렌치카페 카페믹스’는 지난해 1 월 시장 진입을 시작했으나 대형마트 등 매장에 안정적으로 자리 잡는데 남양유업 '프렌치카페 카페믹스'. 6 개월여가 소요됐다. 작년 하반기부터 본격 판매가 시작됐음에도 ‘카제인나트륨을 뺐다’는 경쟁사 비방에 가까운 마케팅과 입소문을 타고 지난해 누적 매출은 1000 억원을 돌파했다. 시장점유율도 당초 목표치였던 20%에 근접했고 커피믹스시장 2 위인 네슬레를 제쳤다. 독보적 1 위 동서식품마저...

One of the most effective means to this end involves what is referred to as vertical integration, which takes on two forms: forward and backward integration. Forward integration focuses on the manner in which a company oversees its product distribution. On the other hand, the backward form concentrates on how a company regulates its goods or supplies. 5.1.1 Forward integration Forward integration is a type of vertical integration which a supplier acquires a manufacturer or a manufacturer acquires a distributor. Businesses engage in forward integration either to generate a higher margin from a key input which it owns or produces or to better market its products and increase its profitability.
