Introduction and Landscape
Why was the report written?
The 2012 Norway Cider Market Insights report is a high level market research report on the
Norwegian cider industry. Published by Canadean, this report provides an excellent way of gaining
an in-depth understanding of the dynamics and structure of the market. The report covers total
market (on- and off-premise) and includes valuable insight and analysis on cider market trends,
brands, brewers, packaging, distribution channels, market valuation and pricing.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The Norwegian cider market has been on an upward trend since the launch of Somersby cider by
Ringnes AS in 2008. During 2011 Grevens cider from Hansa Borg edged ahead of Somersby. The
rise of Grevens has put pressure on its key competitors which include Somersby cider,
Kopparberg, Berentsens, Mack and Halmstad cider. There is now some considerable competition
for market leadership with Grevens (Hansa Borg) and Somersby (Ringnes) fighting it out for
dominance. Norwegian law prohibits the use of advertising and promotions for alcoholic beverages
including product information on company websites and other product literature. This makes
building brand awareness more difficult and can hold growth back. In contrast the government
owned Vinmonopolet outlets have less restrictions and can promote brands and pricing on their
websites.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Grivens overtook Somersby mainly due to its strength in the grocery channels. Competition has

2. risen as new players enter the category. Innovation has helped to drive the category; there is a
variety of flavors, pack types and low calorie options. Younger consumers, especially women are
the target consumers.
What makes this report unique and essential to read?

Key Market Issues
New product innovation for Grevens and pack extensions from the Somersby brand helped to
grow the market further, broadening the appeal of cider through wider flavor choice.
The sweet taste of cider has been the main driver for the growth in cider in the last few years.
Most brands have an apple and pear flavor in their range.
Cider is positioned as a long drink in the market place and as an alternative to lager type beer.
FABs consumers often have cider in their beverage drinking repertoire as well as FABs
Competition intensified for brand leadership in the Norwegian cider market in 2011. Grevens, the
Swedish cider distributed by Hansa Borg, edged ahead of Somersby cider (from Carlsberg owned
Ringnes AS).
Going forward the competition for dominance of the growing cider market will be most likely to be
played out between Grevens and Somersby cider. The key to growth will be further segmentation
to appeal more to male drinkers, and possibly more low-calorie alternatives to appeal to a wider

3. audience.
Key Highlights
The Norwegian cider market continued its upward growth trend in 2011 with consumption growing
by a further 5%.
Competition is warming up between the Grevens and Somersby cider brands for leadership over
the cider market.
In 2011 Ringnes improved distribution especially in the on-trade but suffered a slight decline in
market share due to the competitive situation with Grevens.
Norway emerged fairly quickly from the recent recession and the cider market growth of 5% in
2011 contrasts strongly with the 2% decline in the beer consumption.
Cider distribution through on-premise channels continued to improve in 2011 thanks to the efforts
of both Ringnes and Hansa Borg.
