Summary
Why was the report written?
This report comprises high level market research data on the UK beer industry, published by Canadean. The report covers total market (on- and off-premise) and includes valuable insight and analysis on beer market trends, brands, brewers, packaging, distribution channels, market valuation and pricing.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The year had started with expectations high, with a high profile European Football Tournament, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics. These events had a muted impact however, and sales volumes fell in every quarter of 2012. A deterioration in demand at Christmas capped another disappointing year. The tax cut on 2.8% Abv beer has prompted a surge in sales of lower Abv beers.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
The Duty rise of 5% was expected but what could not be legislated for were the appalling weather conditions that plagued the country during much of the summer. The impact significantly lowered refreshment requirements and was as instrumental in pushing down consumption as the stagnant economy.
What makes this report unique and essential to read?
The UK Beer Market Insight report is designed for clients needing a quality in-depth understanding of the dynamics and structure of the Beer market. The report provides a much more granular and detailed data set than our competitors. All data has been researched, brand upwards, by an experienced ‘on-the-ground’ industry analyst who conducts face-to-face interviews with key producers, leading companies in allied industries, distributors and retailers.
Reasons To Buy
The year began with some optimism that the European Football championships, the Jubilee celebrations, and the Olympics might provoke a slowdown in the rate of beer decline. What could not be legislated for however, were the appalling weather conditions that plagued the country during much of the summer.
Losses from the big brands are prompting a cider rush with brewers now looking to move into the cider market.
A healthier consumer with more cosmopolitan tastes has emerged in recent years, prompting a shift to wine and other alcoholic markets. Consumers have become more adventurous with their refreshment choices, and importantly, consumers seem to be spending more on their beer but drinking less of it.
In 2013 the threat of minimum pricing in England and Wales was lifted for the short-term when a proposed level of £0.45 was sidelined. In Scotland it is another matter: the £0.50 minimum price per unit is on course to be implemented.
After the double digit gains of 2011, imports into the UK fell back last year. Many imported beers are sold in supermarkets and will have been affected by the downturn in the off-premise.
