Despite positive economic trends and consumers’ improving purchasing power, beer saw a slowdown in its recovery and only posted slow growth in total volume terms in 2016. Whilst the European Football Championship had a boosting effect at the beginning of the summer, the changeable summer weather and the slower end-year performance had a negative influence. As the lower-income segments are still very price-sensitive in Hungary, on-trade sales of beer continued to suffer; many consumers migrated to the off-trade channel, where prices are lower.
Beer is dominated by three players, as the overall total volume share of Dreher Sörgyárak, Borsodi Sörgyár and Heineken Hungária Sörgyárak was 83% in 2016. Dreher Sörgyárak led with a 33% total volume share. This was thanks to its wide product range, which covers all key types of beer, from economy to premium, from standard lager to ale. The leading brands from Dreher Sörgyárak are Arany Ászok, Kobányai Világos and Dreher, which have a very long history in Hungary. Besides its traditional domestic brands, the company also offers high-quality foreign brands such as Hofbrau and Guinness. Dreher is followed by Borsodi Sörgyár, with a 27% total volume share in 2016. This is thanks to the Borsodi, Stella Artois and Holsten brands, besides the smaller but highly reputed Staropramen, Beck’s and Löwenbräu imported beer brands. Heineken Hungária Sörgyárak also offers well-known domestic and international brands and covers all segments of beer with its Soproni, Heineken, Adambräu, Kaiser and Gösser brands, and with economy products such as Arany Fácán and Sárkány. As category leaders, the top three players regularly advertise in the mass media, sponsoring events, concerts and summer festivals to promote their key brands, and also forming public tastes and demand with their innovations and new product launches.
Beer is expected to continue to recover its volume sales over the forecast period. Economic stability, higher employment and decreasing taxes will help to improve consumers’ purchasing power, which has a strong relation to the performance of the on-trade and off-trade channels. However, dynamic growth is not expected, and economy products are likely to remain popular, hindering sales of mid-priced products. Value growth will be driven by the strengthening of the premium segment. In the meantime, the trendy category of flavoured/mixed lager will continue to gain share at the expense of standard lager, which is set to grow only slowly.
