What is the alcoholic beverage sponsorship dynamics in Europe?

Alcoholic beverage sponsorship deal values are heavily dictated by the size of the sports property, the markets in which the deal covers, and the rights and assets granted through the deal, which for beverage brands often includes pouring rights in stadia and venues related to the sports property. The top ten deals within alcoholic beverage sponsorships in the European market are dominated by deals with some of the most prestigious and sought-after sports properties on the continent.

Due to the negative connotations surrounding alcoholic beverage advertisements, restrictions are in place in terms of alcoholic beverage sponsorships in many European markets, such as France and Russia. Nevertheless, the sector still plays a significant role in the wider European sponsorship market. Deals with continental sports properties – those which take place across Europe, such as the UEFA Champions League and Euro 2020 – are driving the most value through alcoholic beverage sponsorships by some distance.

What are the sectors in alcoholic beverage sponsorship?

Beer was the leading sector followed by wines & champagnes, low & no-alcohol beer, spirits & liquors, flavored alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages distributor and cider.

Beer brands dominate the alcoholic beverage sector sponsorships in the European market in terms of both annual spend and deal volume, accounting for more than 60% of the alcoholic beverage sector. A recent trend in the alcoholic beverage sponsorship market is the growing prevalence of low & non-alcoholic beer brands. Increasingly, beer brands are using sponsorship to promote both their alcoholic and low-alcoholic products, whilst some are even using sponsorship to solely market their non-alcoholic beer products.

Smaller sub-sectors within the alcoholic beverage market, such as flavored alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverage distributors, and cider, unsurprisingly feature towards the lower end of the spectrum in terms of sponsorship spend and volume of deals.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
