Summary
The Northern Ireland economy remains fragile with a level of uncertainty in the local market regarding the government and its budget plans. The Rugby World Cup (hosted in the UK) kicked off on 18 September with many large brands promoting their products around this event. Overall the weather was disappointing in Quarter 3. This impacted negatively on sales of carbonates, beer and cider.
Key Findings
Carbonates performed negatively due to poor summer weather and continued concerns around sugar content
Sports drinks saw another quarter of decline as the category faced strong competition from other thirst quenching beverages used pre and post workout
The functional benefits of energy drinks are winning over consumers
