Now Available: Quarterly Beverage Tracker Fourth Quarter 2015 for Norway

There is weak growth in the economy at present, with little growth in consumption levels. Thus soft drinks did not generally perform as well as expected in Q4-15, with consumption losses recorded in packaged water, juice, nectars, squash/syrups, still drinks and iced/rtd tea drinks. There was mixed fortunes for the dairy drinks category in the final quarter. All alcoholic drinks saw reasonable growth in Q4-15 except spirits, due to the festive season.

Key Findings

* All commercial beverages performed flatly during the reporting quarter due to the lack of a decent weather
* Packaged water consumption levels declined in 2015 on a full year basis, driven by poor results in Q3-15 due to the below par summer weather, with July being the worst month weather-wise
* The beer market ended the year positively, with the chance of more considerable growth scuppered by weaker consumption in the second and third quarters
* White milk consumption was down in Q4-15, and also in 2015 overall, continuing the downward trend seen in recent years
* Drinking yogurt continues to struggle against the strength of the larger fermented milk products, such as Biola
* Hot tea consumption levels grew in Q4-15, helped by the cooler autumn weather, ending the year with overall sales volumes up
