Top Trends in the Non-Alcoholic Beverages

The top trends in the non-alcoholic beverages sector are thoughtful indulgence, cocooning and incipience, digital optimization, and ingredient focus.

Thoughtful Indulgence—Future of On-Trade: Although the premium price segment of the soft drinks market will remain the smallest for the next few years, it is the fastest growing overall while discount soft drinks report the slowest growth. Consumers are increasingly demanding high-quality NABs because although they are a non-essential grocery purchase, they remain a small everyday or regular luxury that remains affordable despite inflationary pressure.

Cocooning and Incipience: A good example of cocooning and incipience would be Chatime, Australia. Chatime is a bubble teashop chain that was founded in 2005 in Taiwan and now has over 1,000 outlets globally and in Australia alone it currently has over 100. In Australia is has launched a bubble tea kit that allows consumers to make the beverage at home, available to buy in Woolworth supermarkets as well as online. This type of product may be appealing to more experimental Australian consumers who seek alternatives to traditional tea and coffee beverages at home. Tapioca pearls are an uncommon ingredient in typical retail spaces in Australia so this product enables a speciality beverage to be more accessible at home.

Cocooning and Insperiences: Cocooning/insperiences are having a resurgence post-pandemic mainly due to the cost-of-living crisis. The survey data shows that concern about inflation and its impact on household budgets is extremely high across all generations. This is naturally driving consumers to purchase food and drinks from supermarkets/retailers more frequently instead of buying from on-trade channels.

Digital Optimization: Although ESG consistently dominates, digitalization has started to catch up in recent years in terms of investment and corporate focus. Hiring trends in consumer goods have significantly accelerated since the pandemic, reflecting how corporate structures are rapidly shifting to accommodate more digital and technological operations.

Ingredient Focus: It is interesting to note that almost half of the consumers globally found ‘immunity-boosting’ to be an essential factor in food and drink products, reflecting how the threat of the pandemic continues driving people to seek healthier lifestyle choices. Thus, NAB manufacturers will have to take increased care of the ingredients they use in products in 2023 and beyond.

Scope

The report explores the key trends shaping non-alcoholic beverages in the next few years and why they have come about.

Key Highlights

  • There is a growing conflict between value and premium offerings. In on-trade companies will increasingly look for complex beverages and inviting outlet spaces to tempt people back to on-premise. On the other hand, companies focused on off-trade sales will attempt to find more convenient and affordable products and services.
  • Technology will underpin the at-home experience. Emerging and growing technologies such as the Metaverse and Virtual Reality are offering consumers an enhanced experience at home.
  • Demand for sugar-free beverages will overtake regular product variants. Consumers increasingly expect low and no-sugar variants of regular beverages particularly in carbonates and energy drinks to be available as standard.

Reasons to Buy

  • Understand multiple trends and company responses in order to tap into what is really impacting the industry.
  • Gain a broader appreciation of the fast-moving consumer goods industry by gaining insights from both within and outside of your sector.
  • Access valuable strategic take-outs to help direct future decision-making and inform new product development.

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.
