Summary
Why was the report written?
This report comprises of high level market research data on the Ireland 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?
The beer market is forecast to decline by around 2% in 2012 with lager continuing to lead the market but with consumption likely to be flat. The stout and ale segments are forecast to decline by just over 6% each.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Cross border shopping for beer is waning and as a consequence more beer is likely to be bought and consumed in the Republic which is good news for Irish brewers and retailers. The reduction in beer excise and also the reduction in VAT from 21.5% to 21% at the beginning of 2010 helped retailers in 2011.

Reasons To Buy
The Irish beer market suffered a setback in 2011 as consumption declined. This was despite the fact that the Irish government did not raise the excise on beer, keeping it at the same rate since December 2009. VAT was set at 21% throughout the year but was raised in January 2012 to 23%.
Cross border shopping declined in 2011 due to lower prices in Irish supermarkets caused by the reduction in excise duty in the Republic of Ireland.
Irish supermarkets continued to promote premium and mainstream brands. Such activity is encouraging more at home consumption leading to fewer visits to the pub and falling consumption in the pub trade.
The on-premise consumption share has been declining year on year affecting brewers’ and publicans’ profits alike.
The stout market itself continued to decline. Ireland's Mid-Strength Stout, was extended further nationally in 2011 to more than 600 pubs and also extending distribution to sports clubs, golf clubs and some traditional pubs.
