Brazil Quarterly Beverage Tracker Report Q3 2013

Reportstack has announced a new market research publication on which Brazil Quarterly Beverage Tracker Report Q3 2013 which provides a detailed analysis of the latest developments in the Brazil beverage market. In the current climate of economic uncertainty and market volatility companies need to know about more than just data. This report provides a complete overview of all commercial beverage consumption trends, latest market developments and an economic mood indicator. Inflation took a heavy toll on carbonates consumption in particular, which was partially compensated by the growth of non-carbonated drinks such as nectars, still drinks and iced/rtd tea drinks. Out of the remaining commercial beverages categories, beer also experienced a drop triggered by important price rises. Packaged water continued to expand, driven by dynamic market leaders eager to supply a growing demand for bottled water. The Brazilian economy decelerated during the third quarter of 2013, a slowdown caused by a drop in industrial production according the Brazilian government agency IBGE. The evolution of household consumption remains positive, but inflation continues to undermine purchasing power. Overall, soft drinks consumption was affected by high prices.

More granular data is provided for the Carbonates category, with data split by regular vs low calorie, and by key flavours.

Key Market Issues
The Brazilian currency has strengthened against the dollar, thus lowering the cost of imported products after a dangerous rise during the second quarter.

Temperatures were unusually low in the southern part of the country, and positively affected hot coffee and hot tea consumption.

The Brazilian economy decelerated during the third quarter of 2013, a slowdown caused by a drop in industrial production according the Brazilian government agency IBGE.

Social unrest, which had spread over the country during Q2-13 has almost stopped, but Brazilians remain unsatisfied with the government and the current economic situation.

Private Label products are increasingly common in Brazil, as big retail groups form and gradually build their PL product portfolio.

Key Highlights
The drop in carbonates consumption seems to be triggered by a gradual shift towards non-carbonated drinks, which benefit from a much better image among Brazilian consumers.

The packaged water market continues to expand as the main market players continue to invest, to improve the supply chain and develop new brands. While packaged water was traditionally regarded by Brazilian consumers as a commodity, it is now slowly turning into a more complex market, with new brands and the development of premium and super premium lines.

After a small deceleration during Q2-13 caused by a recall of Ades flavored soy drinks, the still drinks category grew 8%, driven by the dynamism of coconut water, juice drinks and soy drinks.

Cachaça, traditionally a cheap and popular spirit, has seen the rise of many artisanal producers and the rise of many premium, barrel aged products. This has helped improve the drink's image among the more affluent Brazilians and is fuelling the overall market value.

After a slowdown of the category's expansion, triggered by a food scandal during Q2-13, milk consumption rose again during Quarter 3 (+3%). This prompted a 20% price rise as internal supply is still not sufficient to meet the country's demand.
