New Market Research Report: Western Europe Quarterly Beverage Tracker First Quarter 2016

Easter fell in Q1 this year and was expected to boost consumption, however it was not a notable increase as was expected. The exit of the United Kingdom from the EU has cast a shadow of uncertainty over the region as a whole and a vote to leave will bring some short term turbulence. Alcoholic drinks saw a marginal decline as cooler weather over winter discouraged consumption on-premise.

Key Findings

* Health and wellness shaped many categories across the region.
* Juice, nectars and still drinks all saw a decline as consumers watch their sugar intake or brought less but of a higher quality.
* Enhanced water was the star performer, especially in the UK where a high growth was seen.
* Sports drinks are expected to see growth due to the Rio Olympics and UEFA Football Championships.
