New Market Research Report: Finland Quarterly Beverage Tracker First Quarter 2016

The overall beverage market was seasonally less dynamic with the notable exception of alcoholic drinks. Alcoholic drinks got off to a good start as consumer confidence in the economy grew. Packaged water saw a small recovery but carbonates suffered from lack of promotional activity. As Finns are not traditional wine drinkers, and spirits are expensive, this is thought to reflect a more buoyant consumer view of the economy amongst the older generations. In contrast, cider and FABs continued to suffer. Only PL products gained real ground.

Key Findings

* The enhanced water category is still in its infancy as its demand is supported by the increasing focus on a healthier lifestyle, but faces competition from dairy based protein drinks.
* White milk accounted for the most of the domestic dairy drinks consumption so its demand stayed flat as market maturity limited growth.
* According to the Finnish Federation of the Brewing and Soft Drinks Industry, private imports of alcohol are significantly greater than total on-trade sales in Finland.
* Hot coffee is the largest of all beverages and an integral part of Finnish culture. In contrast Finns are not significant tea drinkers so due to the dominance of coffee, tea sales remained low.
