Reasons To Buy
The main brewery is launching campaigns which aims to increase the frequency of consumption occasions, however this will not be an easy task as most consumers do not like to drink alcoholic drinks during lunch or during activities that are not social.
Microbreweries are starting to attract attention, even though they have a small volume, they are targeting a new consumer group who is willing to pay a higher price for a higher quality and unique beer.
Variety of retail channels and increased sales of the convenience channel are the main drivers for the positive growth in the category.
The recent regulation regarding drinking and driving has constrained beer growth particularly sales in the on-premise, as consumers are avoiding drinking and driving due to the high fines.
The balance between the various beer type segments has remained fairly stable for many years because most brands available are lager and consumers are conservative in terms of taste. This means that segments like flavored beer are not expected to reach significant volumes in the near future.
