Executive summary

Alcoholic drinks records good current value growth in 2008

Alcoholic drinks grew at slightly slower rate than the review period both in volume and value terms, as a result of the global economic recession that started to take its toll of the Turkish market towards the end of the year, as well as due to the fact that alcoholic drinks are starting to get more mature as an industry. Beer sales recorded strong total volume growth despite the fact that taxes pushed up prices. Taxes also led to increases in wine and spirit prices, therefore consumers started to move from stronger alcoholic drinks to beer, which caused a slowdown in sales growth for wine and spirits in 2008. RTDs registered very strong total volume and value growth in 2008, as these products were introduced to consumers. RTDs benefited from the consumers’ curiosity to try new products and tastes, and they were not affected as strongly by taxes due to their lower alcohol content compared to spirits.

Unregistered production starts to decline at the end of the review period

The government started to take necessary measures against unregistered production in 2007. For example, it became compulsory for companies to put special hologram labels on every bottle produced and sold to consumers from mid-2007. Moreover, the new law on tobacco and alcoholic drinks consumption in 2008 placed restrictions on the sale of unbranded and “open” drinks. These measures started to eliminate unregistered production and the cheapest products exited from the market. Companies involved in unregistered production had been able to sell untaxed products at very cheap prices and therefore make profits out of unpaid taxes. The new regulations forced the cheapest brands to withdraw at the end of the review period and the average unit price started to increase, especially for wine.

Stronger competition in wine due to price increases

The unit price increases in wine resulted in stronger competition through promotions, advertisements and higher quality products. Companies started to increase their number of new product launches in 2007 and 2008 and to promote their new offerings more, especially in the on-trade channel. Mey Icki Sanayi ve Ticaret AS launched interesting promotions and advertisements that provided a younger image to its wine products; it launched innovative advertisement campaigns using vivid images and slogans that targeted young consumers. Moreover, the company enjoyed strong expansion in the on-trade channel at the end of the review period.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets fuels growth in imported alcoholic drinks

The penetration of supermarkets/hypermarkets increased considerably in Turkey at the end of the review period. The number of outlets increased and they were located closer to people’s homes and workplaces. The shelf space allocated to alcoholic drinks expanded in 2008. This provided companies with a better marketplace for their products. This trend especially affected imported spirits, which were previously available only from a few specialist retailers. The higher number of supermarkets/hypermarkets enabled consumers to find imported products more easily and at cheaper prices due to the competition between large grocery retailers.

Demand is expected to continue to grow over the forecast period

The average unit price of alcoholic drinks is expected to decline. This is because of products that had until recently selective distribution becoming more mainstream, hence becoming cheaper as well. This will be the case for premium lager, dark beer, Sparkling wine. As a result over the following year, growth will continue being high, although in most cases slower than the review period average.
