New Market Report: Quarterly Beverage Tracker Fourth Quarter 2015 for Belarus

The Belarusian economy continues to struggle, and this accelerated during Q4-15 further reducing consumer spending. Imports and exports, which used to be the main driver for the economy, continued to decline in all beverage categories. Belarusian beer producers continued to desperately search for new foreign markets, and were rather active and creative in terms of new products development. Multiple alternatives to milk and unstable trade relations with Russia allowed consumers to pay less attention to dairy drinks. Consumers continue to pay more attention to prices than brands or packaging.

Key Findings

* High inflation and the weak Ruble continue to lower the consumption of soft drinks
* Seasonal products were launched in Q4-15 in hopes of gaining some interest in the colder months
* It is predicted that deliveries to homes will take share from corporate consumers in bulk/HOD water
* Previously a traditional category, squash/syrups has seen long term declines as consumers move towards more convenient and seemingly modern rtd drinks
* Low-priced, affordable hot coffees are set to still be more popular in the coming year
* The overall hot beverages market is likely to see more discounted brands taking market share as Belarusians look to make savings in their everyday spending
