Global Trends in Alcoholic Drinks 2013
Report description
New trends, old instincts and the impacts on alcoholic drinks
Consumers across the world are behaving in new ways. Yet the drivers of these trends are not new at all. In fact, many are based on ancient instincts that either still influence us, or are reasserting themselves anew as communications technology allows us to rediscover forgotten tribal patterns.
Intellima (the insights and strategy practice) and Wine Intelligence (the wine specialist consultancy) have identified nine key global cultural trends that will shape the future of the global marketplace for alcoholic beverages. This report examines and presents each trend and is rich with examples from outside of the drinks category.
Many of the trends identified are closely related, if not interlinked. Others may have aspects that are fleeting, or be a consequence of today’s technology which may disappear in due course. Many will be familiar, as much of what’s powering these trends goes back in time.
Through the use of cross category examples, we demonstrate how drinks companies are building on these trends to enable all businesses to capitalise on consumer culture, delivering brand revenue and profit growth.
