Innovation leads to modest RTD spirits recoveryHit by negative associations with underage drinking, leading to advertising restrictions and punitive taxation in some markets, ready-to-drink (RTD) spirits have suffered declining sales of late. But, a new IWSR/just-drinks report suggests innovative product development has given the sector a new lease of life. According to the just-published IWSR/just-drinks Global RTD and RTS market review, sales declined by 2.8% in 2009 to 286.9m nine-litre cases from 2008 but this represented a modest improvement over the 2005 to 2009 compound annual growth/decline rate (CAGR) of -3.5%. Particularly encouraging for the sector was the return to growth in Japan, the world’s largest market for RTDs. Sales in Japan grew by 4.7% to 69.7m cases in 2009. The report says another “encouraging aspect” for the sector is the “vast potential” for RTDs in emerging markets such as Brazil, China, South Africa and India.

The wine category has witnessed a rollercoaster of a ride over the last decade, sprinting the distance from an indulgence-orientated tipple for purist palates and a loosely branded domestic speciality to a commoditised necessity entering households internationally. The global economic uncertainty translated into slowdown in 2009, although the category's momentum is anything but subdued. This latest global briefing investigates wine’s global performance in 2009.

Due to rising affluence and increasing levels of health consciousness, growth in alcohol consumption has slowed in Western markets in recent years, while the sales of brands perceived as ‘premium quality’ have risen. Meanwhile in the developing world, wealthier consumers are following the same trends, whilst lower-income consumers are increasing their consumption of beer and other branded alcoholic drinks as they are increasingly able to afford them. Consumption occasions have also changed. This report evaluates the growth and importance of premium alcoholic drinks across beer, cider, flavoured alcoholic beverages (FABs), spirits and wine. It provides insight into effective premiumisation strategies and makes recommendations on how premium brands can succeed in an economically challenging and competitive market.
Ales and stouts - UK - May 2010 Both the ale and stout markets have suffered from an over-reliance on pub revenues which are also experiencing decline: a record number of pubs went out of business in the UK in 2009. However, a new generation of younger beer drinkers are starting to appreciate colder ale, which is helping propel sales of cask ale. This type of ale has more of a unique flavour than standardised brands. The success of cask ale has been instrumental in slowing the decline of ale. Between 2005 and 2008, on-trade volume sales of ale fell by 23%. But in 2009 ale out-performed lager, slowing its decline to a more respectable 4.8%. This report covers the UK market for ales and stouts, in both the on- and off-trade.
