Summary
Why was the report written?
This report comprises of high level market research data on the Austrian beer industry, published by Canadean. The report covers total market (on- and off-premise) and includes valuable insight and analysis on beer market trends, brands, brewers, packaging, distribution channels, market valuation and pricing.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
A stable economy and low unemployment favoured the beer market but inflation is high, driven by transport, energy and the general increase in the cost of living.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Much of the gain in beer volume was from the radler segment. In Q2-2011 beer consumption rose by 4% compared to the same period in the previous year. It is no coincidence that March/April was also the active period for radler relaunches and new introductions.
What makes this report unique and essential to read?

Reasons To Buy
Production grew at a slightly higher rate to domestic production and was almost back to 2008 levels, indicating a strengthening export trade.
Brewers engaged in a series of pricing activities in 2011 both to maintain share and to encourage consumption. Mainstream retailers and discounters alike have encouraged such promotional activity causing something of a high street price battle with as much as 40% of all beer volumes sold through retail reported to be on promotion.
Despite employing price promotions several brewers also raised their list prices. One of the leading brewers argued that it is being challenged by rising production costs. Other breweries are expected to follow.
Austria has a rich beer tradition and supports around 170 breweries (including numerous beer restaurants producing their own beer and other micro businesses) providing around 1,000 different beers. There were four brewery closures last year (beer restaurants) and two (micro brewery) openings but no move towards consolidation in the form of mergers or takeovers.
Supported by generous price promotions off-premise sales grew ahead of the 2% overall market gain last year but the shift away from Horeca remains gradual.
