Crescono i cocktail RTD a base di spirits nel mercato USA

🍻 U.S. RTD (Ready-to-Drink) spirits-based market has seen significant growth since 2019, with a 15%+ volume increase in states like Wyoming, Colorado, Virginia, Tennessee, New York, Florida, Arizona, Indiana, New Jersey, and Wisconsin from January to August 2024 compared to the previous year. The segment is expected to grow at an annual rate of 6% from 2023 to 2028, overtaking hard seltzers. Vodka has been the top ingredient over tequila since three years ago. 355 ml cans have surged from 7% to 69% market share in five years. Legislative changes in states like North Carolina and Pennsylvania have lowered RTD taxes and allowed sales in beer and wine outlets. Despite slower innovation, cocktails/long drinks lead new product introductions, with brands focusing on key products to reduce consumer confusion. The RTD market is diversifying, with a younger, predominantly male demographic driving demand.

L'innovazione nel branding e nel packaging del vino. Un'indagine di IWSR

🍷 IWSR data highlight a growing dependency on consumers aged 55+ in many wine markets, with a notable decrease in consumption frequency among legal drinking age (LDA) youth. In Australia, the percentage of 18-24 year-olds drinking wine at least once a month halved from 2010 to 2023. Gen Z (born 1997-2012), now aged 12-27, are health-conscious and curious about abstinence, influencing a shift away from traditional wine occasions. Innovations like Colombia's first sparkling wine, Frezzcanti, and brands employing accessible language and interactive packaging, aim to attract Gen Z, who show interest in non-traditional regions and labels. There's a rise in low/no alcohol wine options, such as Nice Session Wines at 3.4% alcohol, and sustainable packaging, like Gonzo Vino's Bag-in-Box, catering to Gen Z's preferences for healthier choices and versatility.
