Key Market Issues
There was a 1.1% increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in September 2013 compared with September 2012. Within food and non-alcoholic beverages, dairy products and eggs recorded the highest price increases (by 11.1%).
Private Label products continued with a mixed performance in the beverages market, in many categories performing below the overall market, such as carbonates, where PL products continued to lose against major brands, driven by new flavours, intense marketing activities and price reductions.
The critical situation concerning the purchase of raw milk from local farmers continued. In July and August 18% less milk was purchased from farmers compared with the same months in the last year, which resulted in a low production of dairy products and higher prices. Production of milk notably decreased
Low calorie carbonates variants declined ahead of the market due to the weak performance of flavoured water. This was the first quarter in which flavoured water faced declining sales
Even categories that offer great price per litre value saw declines in the face of prudent consumers.
Key Highlights
On 1 July Croatia became a member of the European Union.
Despite rising prices throughout much of the industry, prices of soft drinks remained stable, at the same level reached in September 2012
In the first six months since the introduction of compulsory fiscal cash registers at the beginning of 2013 (see QBT4-12) Croatian companies, which are liable for VAT and do business in cash, reported in total €1.73 bn higher turnover than in the same period of the previous year; more than half of the increase was reported by on-premise channel and retailers.
There was a 5.5% increase in tourist arrivals and a 2.6% increase in overnight stays in July-August 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 owing to the hot weather.
Cider consumption was not only stimulated by favourable weather conditions but also by improved market coverage and the introduction of a few new products.
