London, UK (PRWEB) August 04, 2014
In 2013, the German beer sector’s positive development was halted by price-fixing scandals including penalties levied by the Federal Cartel Authority (FCA), adverse effects of price hikes and mediocre weather conditions, as well as Legionnaires' outbreak in Warstein. Meantime, while the beer sector contracted considerably driven by the unfavourable weather, the alcohol-free sub-segment performed positively. Alcohol-free beer variants are gaining ground due to the rise of health-conscious consumers tending to reduce the levels of alcohol consumption. More variation and great marketing efforts fuelled the growth which helped counterbalance the losses of conventional top-level beer brands. The novel alcohol-free variants are positioned as tasty and fun alternatives and are often promoted via sports- or lifestyle-focused TV ads. Some alcohol-free variants are even positioned as isotonic drinks suitable for post-exercise consumption.
Additionally, craft beer has not been gaining a considerable foothold in the country, with the media taking much greater interest in the trend compared to consumers. In view of the availability of massive premium beer price promotions, the comparatively expensive craft beers become quite unattractive for mainstream consumers. Whilst craft beers enrich Germany’s beer landscape, the volume figures generated within this niche sub-segment is not comparable with the losses registered due to the contracting market.
