FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS
The alcoholic drinks market will be analyzed taking brewers, distillers, and winemakers as players. The key buyers will
be taken as food and drink retailers and on-trade establishments, and providers of raw materials and bottling supplies as
the key suppliers.
Summary
Figure 9: Forces driving competition in the alcoholic drinks market in the United States, 2014
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
Since it stagnated in 2009, the US alcoholic drinks market has been growing at a steady, however, low rate, which may
attract newcomers and increase the intensity of rivalry to some extent. Rivalry is intensified between existing incumbents
once the profitability of firms should be affected by low rates of market growth.
The market leaders produce their own, recognized brands and operate in various segments of the market, which is
possible due to the ease of capacity increases, once a company is established.
There is a high degree of product differentiation, due to the variety of products offered within the three defined segments,
which include: beers, ciders & FABs (flavored alcoholic beverages), spirits and wines.
Buyer power varies, depending on buyers reliance on alcoholic drinks sales to generate revenues. Therefore, buyer
power is greater amongst larger retailers (supermarkets/hypermarkets), as alcoholic drinks are just one of many products
they have on offer. In the US, supermarkets account for over 55% of sales in value terms and this strengthens buyer
power.
A recent trend in the alcoholic drinks market has been the gradual move to higher price segments and increased interest
in imported brands. The wide range of brands available, with an accompanying variance in quality and price, boosts
buyer power. This is, however, diminished to some extent if consumers favor particular brands as retailers will be forced
to store them. This is the case with well established brands such as Budweiser and Coors.
Entering a niche segment may form a successful strategy, as there is a rising demand for specialty alcoholic beverages
and these are marketed on the basis of quality and can be sold at higher prices.

Buyer power
Figure 10: Drivers of buyer power in the alcoholic drinks market in the United States, 2014
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
The main buyers within the alcoholic drinks market are supermarkets/hypermarkets, on-trade businesses and specialist
retailers. Together these channels account for 91.7% of all sales. The sheer number of buyers reduces their power to
some extent. The alcoholic drinks market is controlled wholly by consumers preferences. Due to this fact leading players
invest considerably in marketing campaigns to promote their products. This is particularly the case for on-trade
businesses and specialist retailers, as alcoholic drinks are essentially their business; this reduces the buyer power
somewhat.
The switching costs for buyers are not particularly high, and due to existing possibilities of product differentiation across
the three segments in this market (beers, ciders & FABs, spirits and wines) consumer demand is likely to influence
retailers stocking decisions.
Additionally, brand loyalty is of importance in this market and customers preferences towards some brands influence
players stocking decisions, weakening buyer power to some extent. This is prevalent in the United States with well-
established big brands such as Budweiser, Coors, and Miller.
However, alcoholic drinks are not the only products on most retailers offer, which indicates that they are not reliant upon
the sale of these alone. Consequently, this increases buyer power and with supermarkets accounting for 55.2% of all
sales in the US, buyer power is boosted.
Possibilities of backward integration exist, i.e. in the form of supermarket chains producing their own drinks which are
often cheaper than their branded counterparts. However, in terms of brand quality, the major alcoholic drinks
manufacturers have the edge over their supermarket rivals, diminishing their buyer power.
Overall, buyer power is moderate in the alcoholic drinks market.

Supplier power
Figure 11: Drivers of supplier power in the alcoholic drinks market in the United States, 2014
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
Suppliers to the alcoholic drinks market are relatively diversified, as each segment (beers, ciders & FABs, spirits and
wines) requires different inputs to form the principle ingredients of each individual product. This illustrates that suppliers
are relatively fragmented, when the market is considered as a whole. Depending on market segment, specific inputs may
differ.
Key inputs to the beers, ciders & FABs segment include malted grain, hops, apples and other flavorings. The raw
materials required for the production of spirits are cereal grains, fruit and vegetables used in the distillation process.
Hops are generally bought from independent producers, with barley often bought from farmers. Apple growers are key
suppliers for the production of cider. Grapes are a key input for the production of wine, and although some larger players
own/lease vineyards, they also source grapes from independent suppliers. Constellation Brands' (a large scale US
company) latest annual report states that the company buys grapes from around 1,000 US-based independent growers
and around 200 in other countries around the world. These purchases are at prevailing market rates, which suggests that
even a large wine-making company such as this does not have much control over prices of its supplies. Its own 20,000
acre vineyards supply only a small proportion of its total needs, and are focused on super-premium products. As many of
these suppliers operate independently and on a relatively small scale, their influence on the market is weakened.
The beers, ciders & FABs segment is predominant, which suggests that suppliers to this segment have a greater
influence than that of remaining suppliers of raw materials.
Manufacturers have relatively little freedom to substitute alternative raw materials if they are to maintain consistent
product characteristics for the end-consumer. It is highly unlikely that suppliers would forward integrate (except perhaps
for grape growers), which reduces supplier power.
Overall, supplier power is moderate in the alcoholic drinks market.

New entrants
Figure 12: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the alcoholic drinks market in the United States, 2014
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
New players may enter the market through one or multiple segments. Entry to the alcoholic beverages market may be
achieved on large or small scale by finding a niche market. There is a rising demand for specialty alcoholic beverages,
such as so-called real ales and flavored spirits. These are marketed on the basis of quality and diversity and can be
sold at higher prices. The American beer market has seen an unprecedented upsurge in the production of craft beer over
the last couple of years. Its production, in terms of market share in volumes, increased from 4.9% in 2009 to 7.8% in
2013, according to the Brewers Association in the United States.
Investment in production equipment can be recouped by adding a good margin to the price of the end-product. The
larger companies, however, tend to rely on the mass-market production of internationally palatable alcoholic drinks.
Here, margins may be much lower.
Producers need to distribute their product widely, which generally relies upon retail channels, such as supermarkets.
Despite the presence of company-owned on-trade outlets, these retail chains often have considerable buyer power,
which can force down the prices that beer producers are able to obtain.
In this market, scale economies of production become very important. As a result, barriers to entry, such as capital outlay
on large-scale production plants and the need to establish reliable supplies from multiple third-party growers, become
much higher. Government regulation of wine and other alcoholic beverages is stringent in the US, which may impede
market entry. Excise taxes are applied to all alcoholic beverages. Purchasers of alcohol must be at least 21 years of age
(high compared to most countries). Restrictions on the times and locations of alcohol sales are controlled at the state
level, and often include limitations of sales on election days, and on Sundays. However, there is little regulation of
marketing activities such as advertising, product, placement, or event sponsorship.
The market has been growing at a slow, however, steady rate in recent years and this may attract newcomers.
Overall, the threat from new entrants is weak in this market.

Threat of substitutes
Figure 13: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the alcoholic drinks market in the United States, 2014
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
Substitutes to the alcoholic drinks market include non-alcoholic beverages, such as juices, carbonated soft drinks or
water. Some alcoholic drink producers offer their own alternatives, like alcohol free lager. These alcohol-free drinks do
not carry the same tax/duty as beer, wine, spirits etc. and so are often cheaper alternatives.
There is scope for inter-segmental substitutes, as most operators focus on one production segment within the market,
e.g. beers, ciders & FABs (flavored alcoholic beverages), spirits or wines. For such players, substitutes could include
spirits if the main product they manufacture is beer. Many of the large players already sell these products in addition to
alcoholic drinks, resulting in much less overall damage to revenues if there is mass consumer movement away from
main products. Smaller firms, however, will have to invest in building brand loyalty as a means to keep customers.
There is some difficulty with assessing the benefits of substitutes within the defined segments of the alcoholic drinks
market. For example, not only beer but also champagne and white wine are optimally stored in chilled cabinets, which
make storage more expensive; more concentrated forms of alcohol (spirits) may offer better returns on shelf space than
higher-volume wines and beers, but the per-unit-volume price is often scaled with alcohol content.
In terms of non-alcoholic beverages, there are health benefits associated with ingredients, such as fruit, which have
vitamin content. This is in stark contrast to the potential detrimental effects of the over-consumption of alcohol, which
include liver damage, and addiction. Some medical research has argued for the benefits of consuming wine in
moderation. There is however, no general agreement on this. Health considerations could influence the performance of
the market leading to changes in market trends, with consumers becoming more health conscious and switching over to
health drinks such as Glaceaus "vitaminwater".
Ultimately, due to extensive product differentiation within the alcoholic drinks market, and the wide variety of non-
alcoholic drinks available, the threat from substitutes is boosted and is assessed as moderate overall.

Degree of rivalry
Figure 14: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the alcoholic drinks market in the United States, 2014
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
The US alcoholic drinks market is tending towards consolidation with AB InBev, MillerCoors, Constellation Brands and
Heineken accounting for over 74.1% of the market in volume terms.
In the US, the beers, ciders & FABs (flavored alcoholic beverages) segment is by far the largest within the alcoholic
drinks market, accounting for 43.7% of the markets value.
Relatively strong product differentiation across the three segments of this market (beers, ciders & FABs, spirits and
wines) reduces rivalry to some extent.
Although specialty products are available, significant players largely operate mass-marketed products. This implies high
fixed costs, because of the need to operate large breweries, distilleries, and requirement of significant storage space and
facilities for fermentation.
Also, strong branding does allow certain players to stand out, which also reduces rivalry slightly. However, the
competitors have to consider not only brand but also product quality, flavor, packaging and promotion.
The market has been posting low rates of growth in recent years and with this trend expected to continue in the forecast
period, rivalry should intensify somewhat but is still assessed as moderate overall.
