As a new premium consumer emerges in the alcohol market, and behaviours around alcohol consumption evolve, brand owners need to respond to changing consumer demand to remain competitive.  Our latest report, written in collaboration with the IWSR, outlines a new set of category codes driving the new premiumization dynamic that brands should take note of.

While some sub-sectors of the alcohol market are seeing stagnated growth, the super-premium segment remains strong.    Growth, driven by increasing preference for experiential purchases, adoption of super-premium offerings by a younger, and more female audience, and the resilience of more affluent consumers, is expected to remain stable – making the super-premium space an increasingly attractive niche for manufacturers and brands.    Our report, ‘The new codes of premiumization’, co-written with the IWSR, outlines the key drivers of growth in the super-premium market.   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/evjHFVZ8.   To find out more about our work in Beer, Wine and Spirits, contact Marek Zdziech, Dan Zubaida, David De Matteis, or email consumer@occstrategy.com.   #ConsumerGoods #FMCG #Alcohol

The US alcohol market has seen a shift in consumer behaviour and demographics since the Covid-19 pandemic – and while the long-term trend of premiumization in alcohol has seen recent signs of slowing at a macro level, the super-premium segment has seen continued growth and has gained footing in new demographics. As consumers tastes shift, how can brands capitalize on growing trends to meet consumer demands? Our latest thinking, developed in partnership with the IWSR, explores changing consumer trends and what these mean for brands. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e3Dr5pnY .
