    European food makers including Nestle, Unilever and Danone are set for a strong year as commodity prices fall and demand for name brands grows stronger in developing countries. "Only about 30% of their sales are in Europe now. They are truly global players with a majority of their sales in emerging markets," said Bernstein analyst Andrew Wood.

With the robust export performance, "the key to securing a soft landing pivots on reviving domestic demand, and that will necessitate more stimulus, but it will be more measured than in 2008 and monetary policy won't be eased excessively," observed Sun Junwei, a Beijing-based economist with HSBC Holdings.
