CGA’s exclusive On Premise User Survey (OPUS) is available now, with expert analysis of Brazilians’ habits and preferences based on a survey of 7,500 premium consumers. OPUS data has been serving the industry globally for more than a decade and is used by leading beverage companies as the definitive way to understand On Premise behaviors, occasions and preferences. Refreshed twice a year, the data also provides opportunities to uniquely profile specific brand and category consumers and assess the most valuable sub-channels to target.
Early insights from OPUS highlight the huge popularity of bars and restaurants in Brazil. Of those who have visited the On Premise in the past three months, almost half (48%) have done so at least weekly. The number of frequent visitors shows how the On Premise is at the heart of Brazil’s social life and consumer spending. On Premise behaviors play an important role in Off Premise spend too – 4 in 5 consumers in Brazil agree that they are ‘likely’ or ‘very likely’ to repurchase a drink at home if they were to try it when out and enjoy it.
OPUS delivers a host of other findings, all helping suppliers and operators gain extra consumer engagement, sales and guest satisfaction. They include:
- Nearly half (47%) of visitors typically drink beer in Brazil’s On Premise—making it the most popular drinks category ahead of wine (28%) and spirits (22%).
- Whiskey is the subcategory where consumers are most likely to trade up, with a fifth (19%) of its drinkers likely to pay extra for a better quality drink.
- The iconic Caipirinha is Brazil’s most popular cocktail, but a range of classic mixed drinks also perform well, including Gin and Tonic, Margarita, Mojito and Piña Colada.
- Well over half (57%) of consumers typically visit restaurants in Brazil, with sizeable numbers using barbecue restaurants (40%), cafes (37%) and botecos (25%). Around a third go out for a casual meal and a quarter for a quick bite to eat—underlining the low-tempo nature of On Premise visits.
CGA’s OPUS solution also provides vital clues to what consumers are looking for when they eat and drink out. More than two in five consumers cite good service (46%), quality of food (43%) and value for money (42%) as important factors.
The OPUS research is available in Brazil now. Later this year it will be complemented by CGA by NIQ’s Outlet Index, the best-in-class database of food and drink sites that is used by businesses in dozens of countries around the world. It provides unprecedented analysis of the size and the shape of the ever-changing On Premise channel, with segmentation available to help suppliers optimize their sales targeting strategies and spot and close distribution gaps.
