Estonia Quarterly Beverage Tracker Report Q3 2013

Reportstack has announced a new market research publication on Estonia Quarterly Beverage Tracker Report Q3 2013 which provides a detailed analysis of the latest developments in the Estonia beverage market. In the current climate of economic uncertainty and market volatility companies need to know about more than just data. This report provides a complete overview of all commercial beverage consumption trends, latest market developments and an economic mood indicator. The soft drinks market increased by 2% in Q3-13 due to warm weather and increasing purchasing power. Carbonates saw the largest growth due to the successful performance of international players. Overall there were less rainy days in Q3-13 compared to Q3-12 which positively impacted on the commercial beverages market. The government began various discussions regarding alcohol consumption in Estonia, however it seems that this did not have an impact in Q3-13.

Designed for clients who want to understand the latest trends in the Estonia beverage industry and want more detail and analysis on this data.

Significant activity in the soft drinks industry is covered including recent new product introductions (detailing flavour, pack type, pack size, retail price and selected pack shots) and the latest industry news.

Focus on functional Soft Drinks and Healthy Innovation

Key Market Issues
Consumers are more health conscious and thus consuming water more often

The nectars category has still not managed to attract consumers back from still drinks and thus declined. The drop was despite producers efforts of launching new products

The consumption per capita of energy drinks in Estonia is the highest among Baltic countries; the market is saturated

The government recently started to raise discussions regarding alcohol consumption in Estonia, the foundation called Healthy Estonia launched an advertising campaign “Lets reduce alcohol consumption by half” with billboards across the country

Soymilk is a niche category and it remained flat in Q3-13. A lack of significant marketing activities and product development will result in a flat performance looking forward

Key Highlights
Cola light saw improved performance for the second quarter in a row, as it is perceived healthier

The improving economic situation in Estonia enabled more offices and institutions to purchase bulk/HOD water

Estonians prefer light alcoholic beverages instead of spirits and this is driving the wine category's steady growth

Warm weather helped to maintain cultured dairy volumes and increasing purchasing power also enabled consumers to purchase more expensive dairy drinks, like drinking yogurt

Hot coffee consumption increased by over 1% in Q3-13 due to stabilized prices.
