How ‘moderation’ is changing the UK beverage basket

The beverage industry is changing. Are you keeping pace? Over half of households say they are cutting back on alcohol and 50% say health properties and enhancing benefits are important when purchasing drinks.


The beverage shelves are a bedrock of competition from all types of product from soft drink, to alcoholic tipple and everything in between. And it’s the ‘in between’ that is evolving; functional drinks, sports drinks, drinks to chill out with, drinks to hydrate… Knowing where you sit in this portfolio has never been more important and knowing what the consumer wants even more so.


Join Rachel Weller, Commercial Leader UK and Ireland along with panel of NIQ beverage experts on the 6th November 10am to talk you through the latest trends and touch on how this may impact Christmas sales.
