Key Market Issues
In recent years there has been a growth in Lettl (or low 2.5% Abv alcohol) beer in Norway and Ringnes, Hansa-Borg, Aass and others have gone even further by moving towards alcohol-free beer due to the strict drink-driving law.
During 2012 there was further evidence of cross-border shopping in Sweden and Denmark for cheaper beer. In 2012 it was estimated that as much as 52 m liters of beer was lost in revenue to supermarkets, brewers and the government, as consumers are crossing the border to stock up on cheaper beer
Younger drinkers visit pubs and bars less frequently than previous generations. They are more likely to drink beer at home as it is significantly cheaper than in pubs and bars and when they do go out they drink less as consumption is curtailed by previous in-home drinking.
The Norwegian beer market is highly concentrated with Ringnes as market leader and second placed Hansa Borg accounting for more than 80% of the total consumption.
Brewers are not allowed to advertise or promote their beers in any way. This means that product differentiation cannot be fully exploited in marketing terms. Excise is raised annually, which in turn leads to increasing beer prices.
Key Highlights
Mack Brewery opened its new state of the art brewery in the Tromso region at Nordkjosbotn, costing NOK320 m in the autumn of 2012.
The leading Private Label brand Grans put its retail prices up in 2012 and the effect was to narrow the price differential with the Tuborg and Borg discount brands. As a result Private Label brands declined in volume.
In 2012 strong beers sold through Vinmonoplet shops grew by 20% from a small base.
Thanks to a small number of microbreweries, awareness of specialty beers is growing; putting beer drinkers in touch with a greater variety of products. However, these national beers, combined with international ales and stouts, still form a very niche segment of the market.
Ringnes launched Carlsberg Premium in 33cl refillable PET bottles, the first PET bottle to be introduced by Ringnes. It may be just a matter of time before we see more PET bottles on the market.
