Biggs Ltd
Biggs Ltd operates in the snack food market, selling crisps, nuts and other savoury
products. Potatoes are a key ingredient in its snacks. The price of potatoes has risen by
35% over the last two years.
The company is one of six firms who dominate a market that has been growing strongly for
ten years. The market growth is largely due to the development of new snacks designed
for children. However, Biggs Ltd’s market share has been falling since 2019.
Biggs Ltd plans to launch a completely new range of products in 2024. It will promote this
by sponsoring a major televised sporting competition which has children and families as its
audience.
