Market Report, "Quarterly Beverage Tracker Third Quarter 2015: Austria", published

Fragile signs of improvement in the economy and rising unemployment amongst the younger population meant confidence indictors remain depressed. The rate of decline in consumer confidence accelerated during the quarter, particularly during September. Private Labels are making the most of this mood and are continuing to outperform branded products. Record temperatures were seen in July and August.

Key Findings

* GDP increased compared to the previous quarter and the same period last year, driven by a slight increase in both domestic demand and exports
* Consumption of soft drinks grew well compared to the same period of 2014. Growth was principally driven by the very strong performance of packaged water which benefited from the prolonged periods of high temperatures
* Alcoholic drinks also grew, primarily driven by improved sales in the beer category, with demand also boosted by the exceptionally high temperatures during the quarter which favored, in particular, outdoor on-premise consumption
* Consumption of dairy drinks declined, driven mainly by the continuing drop in the consumption of white milk.
