RTDs/High-Strength Premixes in
Country Report
Executive Summary
Jun 2018PROSPECTS
Intensive new product development spurs growth
RTDs recorded strong year-on-year growth throughout the review period, while many other alcoholic drink categories struggled. The trend towards ienomi remains strong amongst consumers looking to save money, and economy-priced RTDs fit busy modern lifestyles and preferences for cocooning – RTDs are mostly consumed with meals as shokuchu-shu.
Amendment to liquor tax boosts RTDs growth
In June 2017, an amendment was made to Japan’s liquor tax in an effort to restrain excess discounting at store-based retailers, leading to a significant rise in beer prices. The amendment enhanced the price advantage of RTDs and boosted consumer migration from economy beer.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Top two aggressively defend their positions
Suntory Spirits Ltd strengthened its leading position in RTDs/high-strength premixes in 2017, raising its volume share to over 39%. The company’s core brand, -196C Strong Zero, which has an 8% ABV, is intended for more experienced drinkers and the taste is designed to match meals, with subtler, less intrusive fruit flavours, such as lemon and grapefruit.
Asahi breweries Ltd and Takara Shuzo Co Ltd hold double-digit shares
Ranked third in RTDs/high-strength premixes in 2017, Asahi Breweries Ltd was the fastest-growing major player in RTDs/high-strength premixes during the year, thanks largely to the renewal of Asahi Mogitate, a high-alcohol RTD with juice made from fruit picked within 24 hours of production. The brand continued to appeal to both male and female consumers, while most high-alcohol RTDs are primarily consumed by male drinkers.
