Description

Hot Topics Case Study: Generation Z and Alcoholic Beverages

Summary

This report focuses on Generation Z and their relationship with alcoholic beverages, examining attitudes and behaviors particular their generation and what they mean for alcohol brands globally.

As more and more Generation Z reach legal drinking age (LDA), alcohol industry attention has begun to increasingly focus on their particular preferences and opportunities to target them as a distinct group separate from their Millennial predecessors. However, Zoomers' relationship with alcohol is notably different, with moderation and tee-total behavior ascendant, creating new challenges for brands who cannot rely on a status quo with these consumers.

Scope
  • Changing attitudes and behaviors increase the need to establish new connections between brands and Generation Z consumers. The alcohol industry may be less able to make money from mass market, lower-value products, unless they can draw on sizeable legacy audiences.
  • Generation Z’s desire to experiment and enjoy new experiences offers potential to gain their attention via co-branding initiatives, particularly in the RTD spirits setting.
  • Traditional, volume-based categories like mainstream beer cannot be relied on if early Generation Z trends continue.
  • Memorable flavors, packaging, and settings will be key to attracting Zoomers on-trade, while their preference for at-home consumption means ensuring retail availability and practicality (e.g. via RTD options).
  • Generation Z is already a key driver in the low/no market, making them essential as more reach LDA and establish either teetotal or moderated alcohol routines.
Reasons to Buy
  • Gain insight into the latest alcohol trends targeting Generation Z.
  • Access global survey findings on Generation Z’s latest attitudes and behaviors in lifestyle and alcohol consumption.
  • Understand emerging opportunities in the low/no alcohol space based on Zoomers’ moderation behaviors

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
