What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The cider market is split between natural still cider and carbonated cider; two variants sharing the same parent name but with different production procedures resulting in two different beverages in terms of flavor and consumption characteristics. Natural cider consumption in Spain is high among adults and older consumers, and is mostly consumed in on-premise channels especially in northern Spain. Carbonated cider is broadly used by both young and adult consumers for toasts and celebrating festivities or as a complement to dining, particularly to accompany dessert, throughout the year.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
The decline was due to weak on-premise consumption, with bar owners now cutting stocks as a way to save on costs. In the off-premise channel however cider did better by complementing its traditionally carbonated cider based-shelves with an increasing range of natural cider brands.

Cider is positioned as a low alcohol content and easy to drink beverage for consumers reluctant to indulge in heavy alcohol consumption.

The cider market is split between natural still cider and carbonated cider. Natural cider consumption in Spain is high among adults and older consumers, and is mostly consumed in on-premise channels especially in northern Spain which made it more susceptible to the downturn in on-premise trade. Carbonated cider is broadly used by both young and adult consumers for toasts and celebrating festivities or as a complement

Natural cider packaging has a characteristic long neck and old fashioned-shaped glass bottle is used for traditional reasons and to ensure it is also easy to distinguish. This packaging strategy has encouraged a rather old-fashioned image of cider similar to that of some outdated brands of sherry or local quality wine, making it more difficult to gain the attention of young consumers.

The forecast for 2012 is for further modest decline owing to the on-premise market being further affected by the limited spending power of the consumer.
