Key Market Issues
The UK economy stagnated and the industry had to tolerate a rise in VAT, to 20%, and an excise hike of 7.2%.
In Northern Ireland, sales dropped by nearly8% as cross border trade with the Republic of Ireland slowed.
The FIFA World Cup in the comparison year highlighted how influential a big football tournament can be in driving off premise sales; the jump in sales in Q3-11 however, was not enough to compensate for the slump in Q2-11 volumes.
The 25% duty rise on beers that are 7.5% or more has hit this segment; however, it is likely that abv will be cut on these beers.
With no sign of the government relenting on the duty escalator and the onset of minimum pricing, the government should be cautious of resurgence in border trade traffic.
Key Highlights
In April 2011 the nation was gripped by Royal fever as the country celebrated the marriage of Prince William and his bride Kate Middleton with an extra bank holiday. This occasion triggered a spike in sales.
In October the industry welcomed a 50% cut in duty for beer with an abv of less than 2.8%; this represents a big opportunity to boost profit margins for brewers and retailers alike.
In 2012 the nation celebrated the Queen”s Diamond Jubilee and once again an extra day off was introduced to facilitate the celebrations. It is too early to assess the extent of any uplift in beer sales.
Aided by a recovery in the economy, a run of good summer weather and an uplift generated by major sporting events, demand did begin to creep up again in 2002 and 2003, and without the slump in personal imports in2004, would have increased again.
In the retail environment, imported brands enjoy a degree of glamour and most ”World Beers” fall into the superpremium bracket.
