Business Insights reports are authored by independent experts and contain findings garnered from dedicated primary research. Our authors' leading positions secure them access to interview key executives and to establish which issues will be of greatest strategic significance for the industry. Our consumer goods portfolio of reports can be used across a wide range of business functions to assess market conditions and devise future strategies and cover the food, drink, health, cosmetics, toiletries, dairy categories and key consumer issues including eRetail and marketing.

Key issues examined by this report...
  • Beer offers the strongest competition to spirits in Europe and the US. Beer will take the largest share of throat in the European and US alcoholic drinks markets by 2010. Despite the popularity of beer in Germany and the fac t it will continue to take more than half of total share of throat to 2010, spirits is t he only sector set for an increase in share.
  • Premiumization is the leading trend in spirits. Super-premium spirits take premiumization to the next level. As premium products become more common in the food and drinks market, manufacturers need to appeal to a more specific, niche target audience if they wish to present their product as super-premium rather than ‘premium for the mass-market’.
  • Provenance and quality of ingredients will increase in importance in this sector, particularly in sectors with added ingredients or flavors such as flavored tequila or fortified RTD vodka products. Consumers associate provenance with a ‘premium’; it indicates that a manufacturer has actively sought the best quality ingredients from a particular place, which means that a product must be better and/or worth more to the consumer and the manufacturer.
