Executive summary
Positive economic and political performance stimulates sales of alcoholic drinks in 2007
The intensive GDP growth that was witnessed in 2007 positively affected the performance of the alcoholic drinks market. In particular, demand for premium products increased as consumers felt that they could afford lavish products, while on-trade sales increased throughout the country. The performance of the on-trade channel was enhanced by the political stability in the country, given that consumers felt more confident about going out and spending time in bars and restaurants.
Intensive new product development stimulates sales of alcoholic products
The alcoholic drinks market saw intensive new product development in 2007 as all companies tried to stimulate consumer interest. Most of the activities were concentrated in wine and beer as a result of the positive growth in these specific sectors. Several leading companies in the beer sector, such as Tempo Beer Industries or Israel Beer Breweries Ltd (IBBL), introduced new alcoholic products in 2007, with the most significant launches being Goldstar Light, Tuborg T and Samuel Adams. In the wine sector, new product launches were in line with the premiumisation of the alcoholic drinks market, with Carmel Wineries introducing several high-quality wines in 2007, such as Carmel Limited Edition 2004, Carmel Vintage 2004, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz Krem Kayomi 2004.
Alcoholic drinks mainly controlled by local companies
The alcoholic drinks market was highly concentrated with few companies, such as Tempo Beer Industries Ltd, IBBL, Carmel Wineries Ltd, Golan Heights Wineries, Barkan Wine Cellars, The Scottish Co, Ackerman Ltd and Hakerem Ltd, commanding the majority of shares in the market’s sectors. In sectors such as beer and wine local products like Goldstar or Maccabee maintain a dominant position, while in spirits and RTDs local manufacturers might hold the lion's share but mainly through international brands, while local production is minimal.
Off-trade channels dominate volume sales of alcoholic drinks
Over 75% of the market's volume sales in Israel take place through off-trade channels. However, with mark-ups reaching as much as 300% in many outlets, rsp sales through on-trade channels are higher than those of the off-trade. Within the off-trade, supermarkets/hypermarkets was the main distribution channel, followed by independent food stores and specialists. The specialist channel increased its share significantly over the review period due to the fact that such outlets offer a wide variety of alcoholic drinks and Israeli consumers are starting to become more demanding when it comes to choice.
Good economic performance expected to characterise the forecast period, positively influencing sales
Taking into consideration the fact that the Israeli economy is expected to grow over the forecast period, sales of alcoholic drinks will continue to rise year on year. Within this context, expenditure on alcoholic drinks will increase, driving up both value and volume sales as consumers will not only be consuming more alcoholic drinks, but they will also be willing to spend more on products positioned as premium.
