Key Market Issues
Traditional, pure cider has a slightly dated image whilst cider mixes are more innovative, taking inspiration from current cocktail- and mixed-beverages trends.

Premium product variants and cider mixes have, in particular, been successful in amplifying the consumer base without producing cannibalization effects. New products are actually attracting consumers that do not consume traditional cider.

Cider mixes producers became more innovative in 2011, when they implemented current cocktail flavors in their cider products. The flavors are, however, expected to change according to current trends in the beverage industry.

Imports play a minor role in the market as cider is considered to be a traditional German beverage and consumers prefer drinking cider from their region, with which they have a strong emotional bond.

On-premise volumes of cider are significantly impacted by the weather conditions as the product is typically consumed in cider gardens.

Key Highlights
Traditional, pure cider stagnated whilst cider mixes increased their volume six-fold.

There has been a very positive development in off-premise consumption, which recorded a growth of approaching 4%. New cider variants such as cider mixes entered modern retail quickly and thereby made their way to the homes of consumers.

In recent years product innovations were launched to capture new consumer groups; sparkling cider variants are the newest trend. These variants are comparable to sparkling wine and target consumers who prefer a more sophisticated beverage with a more defined taste.

Private Label holds a solid position in the German cider market, accounting for 11% of the category’s volume. In 2011, Private Label performed slightly below the category and recorded an increase of just over 2%.

New packaging entered the cider category as new products communicated their different positioning through their packaging.
