Executive summary

Despite Unfavourable Conditions, Alcoholic Drinks Sales Are Growing

In spite of a number of negative factors affecting the market in Bosnia-Herzegovina, alcoholic drinks is proving to be very resilient and still continued to grow at a moderate rate in 2008. The alcoholic drinks market in Bosnia-Herzegovina is still divided along ethnic grounds (there is no unique national market), it is strongly dependent on imports and has an unfavourable legislative framework. However, these negative effects are offset by strong demand derived from increasing purchasing power.

State Level Law on Wine, Spirits and Wine Derivates

In February 2008 Bosnia-Herzegovina adopted a state level Law on Wine, Spirits and Wine Derivates, which covers all aspects of wine and spirits production, distribution and sale. The law was drafted in close coordination with local wine and spirits producers and its aim is to prescribe simple and unified procedures for the production, distribution and sale of wine, spirits and wine derivatives for the whole country, aligned with EU requirements. The law envisages the establishment of an Institute for the Authorisation of Wine and Vineyards, that will, among other things, hold a land registry of vineyards for the country. Furthermore, the law regulates all aspects of exports and imports, where the authority for inspection is given to entity Inspection Agencies. It also envisages state grants for wineries and the planting of new vineyards.

Multinationals Dominant in Most Alcoholic Drinks Sectors

With entry into the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA), Bosnia-Herzegovina had to completely liberate its customs policy toward neighbouring countries (signatories of CEFTA). Currently, domestic producers cannot keep pace with regional players from Croatia and Serbia and large multinationals. Multinationals, like Carlsberg, Laško Brewery, InBev etc, registered offices and established distribution channels in Bosnia-Herzegovina recently. Most domestic producers, except Sarajevska Pivara and Banjalucka Pivara, are relatively small, with outdated technology, and their influence is only regional.

Supermarkets and Discounters the Most Popular Distribution Channels

Supermarkets/hypermarkets offer attractive prices as well as good, diversified selections of products. At present, it is estimated that there are 400 supermarkets/hypermarkets, and new ones are opening on a weekly basis all around the country. Regional chains Delta Holding from Serbia and Tuš-Merkur from Slovenia are the newest players on the local market. In 2008, Delta Holding became the leading wholesale/retail sales company in Republika Srpska, and it is only a question of time as to when it will get permission to enter the market in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Tuš-Merkur opened several shopping centres in 2008, with several more expected to be opened by the end of January 2009. Small retailers are losing the battle with supermarkets, and it is expected that many will close down.

Economic Slowdown Will Affect the Development of the Alcoholic Drinks Market

Bosnia-Herzegovina is being affected by the global economic crisis and its economy is slowing down. It is expected that the full effect of the economic crisis will be seen in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2009. The economic situation in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of Bosnia-Herzegovina's two entities, is much worse than in the other, Republika Srpska, because of higher taxes, higher public administration costs and unsustainable social expenditure, which could even be the cause of an economic crisis on its own. Until recently, both multinationals and domestic companies had been investing remarkable amounts into the alcoholic drinks market by opening representative offices and investing in new facilities. In addition to this, both foreign and domestic companies have been investing in marketing and a widening of their distribution channels by opening new regional distribution centres and investing in delivery vehicle fleets. Due to the crisis, all such activities are expected to significantly slow down.
