Reasons To Buy
Traditional, pure cider has a slightly dated image whilst cider mixes are more innovative, taking inspiration from current cocktail- and mixed-beverages trends.

Premium product variants and cider mixes have, in particular, been successful in amplifying the consumer base without producing cannibalization effects. New products are actually attracting consumers that do not consume traditional cider.

Cider mixes producers became more innovative in 2011, when they implemented current cocktail flavors in their cider products. The flavors are, however, expected to change according to current trends in the beverage industry.

Imports play a minor role in the market as cider is considered to be a traditional German beverage and consumers prefer drinking cider from their region, with which they have a strong emotional bond.

On-premise volumes of cider are significantly impacted by the weather conditions as the product is typically consumed in cider gardens.
