New Market Research Report: India Quarterly Beverage Tracker First Quarter 2016

The hot beverage has recorded a positive growth in Q1-16 when compared to Q1-15 which is partly being driven by middle-income consumers who are switching to packet teas and green teas. Transparent PET packaging is preferred by consumers to cartons because of its long shelf life and for cost considerations. Promotional offers from various companies are also being introduced for various soft drink categories.

Key Findings

* Consumers currently favour fermented milk drinks over carbonated beverages. This change in consumer preference has led to an increase in competition between small scale players and medium scale players.
* Sales of beer in states like Kerala and Odisha were slightly less, due to a suppressed market where the government held license renewals for buyers up until March 2016.
* The hot beverage segment has recorded positive growth in Q1-16, compared to Q1-15. The quality of coffee beans and milk used in restaurants and QSR is greater than other on and off-premise outlets. Some restaurants have also started using brewing machines or decoction machines, which reduce the brewing time while maintaining a consistent taste.
