What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?

Key Market Issues
In September 2012, DB acquired a majority stake in Redwood Cellars, the leading independent player, and transferred its existing cider brands (already manufactured by Redwood on a contract basis) to the new company.

Market penetration has increased substantially in recent years, but remains below levels seen in developed arenas such as the UK and Ireland, and also lower than in neighboring Australia.

Cider in New Zealand is largely a domestic affair, with more than 86% of consumption manufactured locally.

Super premium craft ciders with price points higher than the likes of Monteiths or Old Mout are likely to gain traction as the market size and sophistication increases.

The growth seen in the market is taking place across these different contexts, and as a result follows the same trends as the overall New Zealand beer market.

Key Highlights
By far the fastest-growing cider in 2012 was flavored Swedish brand Rekorderlig, which is strongly associated with summer drinking occasions.

Packaging has now moved well away from its traditional PET model, and 33cl bottles are by far the most important pack format.

In 2012, Woolworths began to market Saxton Cider, a Private Label brand sourced from a New Zealand manufacturer, in both Australia and New Zealand.

The growing consumer shift towards premium brands and on-trade consumption (particularly within the premium sector) is expected to drive substantial 6% price growth in 2013 despite the low growth within segments.

Looking in to 2013, the new Redwood Cider Company appears likely to gain share organically in 2013 given its positioning with Old Mout and Rekorderlig.
