Executive summary
Developing nightlife in Israel positively affects the alcoholic drinks market
The majority of sectors, as well as the market as a whole, saw a positive performance during 2008. Sales were boosted by the improving economy, which triggered several developing trends such as the growing nightlife culture in Israel. This, along with a developing drinking culture, has naturally contributed to the growing consumption of alcoholic drinks among Israelis. New outlets such as bars and restaurants are being opened, encouraging consumers from all social strata and ages to go out and spend time and money outside the home.
Growing demand for premium products in all sectors
As a part of the general economic improvement, a specific trend apparent during 2008 was the growing demand among consumers for premium products. As a response to the growing sales of existing premium products, companies introduced further new launches of premium and super-premium products, with a number of new vodka brands being introduced, for example. These products are being purchased through all channels, however, food/drink/tobacco specialists and duty free shops are more popular for the purchase of expensive products.
Highly concentrated market with relatively stagnant competitive environment
The alcoholic drinks market in Israel is characterised by a high degree of concentration, with only seven companies accounting for a large proportion of overall sales. Within beer and wine, domestic companies dominate and most of the products sold are manufactured in Israel. Tempo Beer Industries Ltd and Israel Beer Breweries Ltd control the beer sector, while Carmel Mizrachi Wineries Ltd and Barkan Wine Cellars Ltd are the leading companies in the wine sector. The majority of products in the spirits sector are not manufactured in Israel but imported and distributed by leading companies such as Hakerem Ltd, M Ackerman Ltd and The Scottish Co for Trade & Distribution.
The off-trade channel continues to dominate, although the on-trade channel is seeing stronger growth
The off-trade channel has traditionally outsold the on-trade channel in volume terms, although in 2008 the gap between them was slightly reduced. Several trends have affected this boom in on-trade sales, such as the growing nightlife scene. However, prices in the on-trade channel can be three, four or even five times higher than in the off-trade channel, which makes supermarkets/hypermarkets, small grocery retailers and convenience stores an attractive option for purchasing alcohol.
Forecast period growth is expected for all leading sectors
The leading sectors within alcoholic drinks – beer, wine and spirits – are predicted to continue their positive performance throughout the forecast period. Trends that have driven sales in the review period are expected to continue to do so during the forecast period. On the other hand, the RTDs/high-strength premixes category saw constant decline over the review period and this trend is expected to continue, albeit at a slower rate.
