Reasons To Buy
Unfiltered beer has been the main novelty product in 2011 and undoubtedly the most successful. With the success of the brand Cesu Nefiltretais, other breweries hotly followed with their own unfiltered beer brands. Unfiltered (also known as 'live') beer is a new segment that seemingly has great prospects for the future.
Discount beers have dominated the market in 2011; the top three beers are all discount beers.
Discounts are the main driving force behind consumer choice. As a result, while volumes are increasing for most breweries, the margins are decreasing.
The largest breweries are investing in can production and expanding their already existing brands range within cans. New volume cans such as 56.8cl and 100cl are appearing in the market. Overall cans are growing and taking larger market share.
The Horeca channel showed doubled digit growth in 2011, increasing tourist inflow and favorable weather conditions being the main factors.
