Now Available: Rtds/High-Strength Premixes in the United Kingdom

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Mon Jul 07 2014


Volume sales of RTDs/high-strength premixes continued to decline in the UK in 2013 as the category was hampered by the premiumisation and authenticity/provenance trends. In addition, the category suffered from the trend towards consumers making cocktails at home from scratch. The performance of RTDs was also particularly affected by the growing popularity of flavoured lagers and ciders.

Competitive Landscape

Beverage Brands (UK) Ltd continued to lead RTDs/high-strength premixes in 2013 with a volume share of 26%. Nevertheless, despite its leading position, the company's share declined from 30% in 2012 as a result of a poor performance from its main WKD brand. The brand's volume sales declined by 15% in 2013. WKD suffered from the success of products such as flavoured ciders and lagers, which have the same target audience as spirit-based RTDs, in which WKD is the leading brand. The provenance and premiumisation trends have favoured a consumer switch from spirit-based RTD brands such as WKD to flavoured ciders and lagers.

Industry Prospects

The prospects are not rosy for RTDs/high-strength premixes over the forecast period as the premiumisation, provenance and authenticity trends are expected to continue to shape the alcoholic drinks market in the UK, favouring ciders and premium beers over RTDs and spirits to make cocktails from scratch over high-strength premixes. Nevertheless, RTDs/high-strength premixes is a category largely affected by trends in fashion and so there is always the possibility that conditions will change in its favour.
