Premium & Superpremium are growing faster than total beer. Discount and Mainstream are growing below total beer.
Premium and Superpremium brands are driving growth as consumers are increasingly “drinking less but drinking better” The premiumisation trend has been bolstered by the financial crisis as many consumers typically “trade up” in a recession, seeking to get “more bang for their buck”
13
Pursuit of better choices drives premiumisation
[1] GlobalDatas Q1 global survey, 2015; [2] GlobalDatas global survey, 2014
Consumers are embracing a "less but better" approach when making alcoholic beverage choices, to justify spending (particularly in times of economic uncertainty) Ale and craft beer drinkers in particular tend to seek premium or higher-end beer, although this tapers off with age In emerging or developing markets the appeal of premiumization is anchored in the desire to demonstrate wealth and sophistication
37% of global drinkers are willing to pay extra for an alcoholic drink that will bring extra levels of enjoyment and indulgence.1

International brands growing at double the rate of total beer
International brands are outperforming the overall market, driven by the increasingly global reach of global brewers and by consumers who view many of these brands as aspirational However the global beer market remains fragmented in brand terms with the ten largest international brands still only accounting for less than 10% of the total

Origin-specific beer offers perceived trustworthiness in a globalized world
Source: ; [1] GlobalData Q1 global survey, 2015; [2] GlobalData next-generation emerging markets survey, 2014
Product standardization fuels an anti-globalization attitude that leads to a preference for products signifying specific places, traditions, and cultures In developed markets this has led to the development of the “World Beer” category, where consumers can experience brands from “exotic” sources In emerging markets international beer is seen as superior, generating demand for origin-specific beer produced elsewhere
42% of global consumers find how/where a beverage is produced to be influential or very influential when choosing which alcoholic
beverages to consume, 20151
53% of consumers in emerging markets prefer international alcoholic drink brands over local ones.2

The advent of craft has given the industry a “Glocal” perspective
“Craft” Volumes (000s HL), 1999 - 2017
Total Beer “Craft”
2.0% 8.2% Cagr 1999 - 2017
Craft growing 4 times faster than total beer, and now accounts for nearly 2.5% of the total.
“Craft” beers have grown spectacularly since 1998 Whilst this growth is almost certainly not sustainable, the underlying drivers of “craft” – anti-globalisation; localism; a desire for small scale, exclusive products; and an interest in artisanal production methods; mean that “craft” volumes are unlikely to fall.

Craft Brewers are seeking to defend the category from those trying to jump on the bandwagon
Source: [1] GlobalData 2016 Q3 global consumer survey
There are a number of positive claims consumers associate with craft A craft beer is most likely to be perceived as featuring high-quality ingredients, made by hand, and authentic. However these terms are often quite subjective To defend themselves from lower-quality competitors that damage the image of the movement, genuine craft producers are looking at ways of drawing consumers' attention and calling for claims to be verified

20 20
Craft breweries are increasingly being acquired by major market players Despite big brands generally maintaining a hands-off approach to new craft additions, they can experience rejection by consumers The growth of craft volume can take away from the perception of exclusivity, and this also has consequences for perceptions of value Mass production makes it more difficult to justify a price premium compared to small-scale brewers, who can charge more as a focus on quality and hands-on brewing is part of the brand narrative.
41% of global consumers say that marketing buzzwords such as "craft" and "artisanal production" are just an excuse for manufacturers to charge extra
for alcoholic beverages2.

Alcohol Free beers are growing rapidly driven by consumers desire to manage their alcohol consumption and a repositioning of these products as positive lifestyle choices Low Alcohol volumes have been boosted by the growth of Radlers Despite the trend towards alcohol free beers, Strong beers (>5.5% Abv) are actually growing even faster – allied to the growth of craft and premium

Over a third of drinking consumers plan to cut down on alcohol
Source: [1] GlobalData 2015 Q1 global consumer survey
Healthier lifestyles and greater awareness of risks aligned with excessive alcohol drinking results in consumers changing their attitude to alcohol 37% of global consumers state they plan down to cut down on alcohol consumption for health reasons
Younger consumers (aged 18–34) are most likely to intend to cut down on alcohol for health reasons, with the attitude relaxing as consumers age. This can be attributed to a growing popularity of sporty lifestyles, as well as ever-increasing image-consciousness, as consumers try to limit their intake of calories

Healthy lifestyles
The desire for fun, indulgent beverages, along with the growing amount of consumers looking for healthier lifestyles, has boosted the number of launches of low-ABV beverages such as radlers and low- or non-alcoholic beers Increasingly consumers are checking the alcohol content before choosing a beer. This is especially prevalent in Asia; Latin America and North America Low-alcohol beverages such as radlers give manufacturers plenty of space to experiment with unusual recipes and flavors
84% of global drinkers are trying to reduce or moderate their consumption of alcohol1.

Conclusions
• The global beer market is unlikely to grow by more than 2% per annum for the foreseeable future
• However consumers are “drinking less, but drinking better”
• International premium brands are outperforming domestic mainstream
• Consumers are more experimental in their consumption habits and looking for new experiences and new beer styles
• Although the current momentum is unlikely to be maintained, “craft” is likely to continue to be a major issue
• The growth of craft and anti-globalisation/capitalism will see the emergence of more disruptors
• The industry has probably reached peak consolidation…but I said that in 2008!!
• Alcohol-Free beers are likely to grow in popularity and become mainstream choices
30
The next 20 years?
• Will beer return to the growth levels seen in the early 2000’s?
• Will the premiumisation trend continue?
• Will we see the emergence of truly “global” brands?
• Will we see new players from Asia join the acquisition trail?
• Will we see Spirits producers or Soft Drinks Companies enter the market, or will brewers acquire companies in those sectors?
• Has consolidation reached the endgame?
• Will Alcohol Free beers become a mainstream choice?
• See you in 2038!!
