Engagement with younger consumers - those under 25 - is emerging as an industry imperative, as younger consumers are being drawn away from beer to spirits and wine.

New product opportunities are spurred by consumer demand for more novel product flavors.

Niche, local or craft brewers are pushing the envelope in terms of both the depth and breadth of beer and brewing styles on offer. The eclecticism of beers available has been further augmented by a rise in in nano-brewers, home brewers who are experimenting, creating their own unique brews.

B.  Targeting Adult Consumer Needs in Soft Drinks

As the world ages and the soft drinks industry matures, the need to target specific adult groups increases.

As an important adult-focused category, malt beverage sales are broken out in their own right.

Highlights

In 2011 the number of over-55s worldwide overtook the number of 25-34s for the first time. The slowest-growing adult group has been 18-24s, as the impact of China's one child policy has joined the impact of low birth rates in Europe and slowing birth rates in other mid-income countries.

The growth seen in the malt category between 2006-2011 in volume terms was an annual average of 5.3%, higher than was seen in any of the major categories other than RTD tea & coffee. Although brewed drinks are gaining share globally, the Africa & Middle East region will keep its dominant market position to 2016.

All major developed markets are set to show lower alcoholic drinks volume consumption per head in 2015 than they did in 2005, with the UK and France showing particularly substantial declines. The combined growth of soft and low/no-alcohol alternatives will increasingly normalize the consumption of non-alcoholic drinks.

Your key questions answered

  • Which categories are the most important driving consumption among each of the different adult age groups?
  • How are aging populations affecting the dynamics of soft drinks markets in the developed and developing world?
  • How will economic and technological factors affect the marketing of soft drinks to adults?
