What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
Cider may be showing symptoms of maturity but the category only dates back to the late 60s when Herrljunga produced the first apple cider in Sweden. The category only really gained momentum in the mid-nineties when Kopparbergs began producing alcoholic versions of the no and very low alcoholic ciders sold in the supermarkets. The Swedish cider drinker's age profile is relatively young and subsequently ciders tend to compete with the FABs category: when FABs perform well ciders tend to struggle. The cider category is prone to sharp fluctuations in demand.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
The size of the market has dropped following the change in definitions in 2006 which excluded some brands which had previously fallen into the cider category; the biggest of which was Carlsberg's X-ide.The flavored segment was the only one to decline because most cider sold in the growing on-premise is apple or pear. Carlsberg and Spendrups both performed well in Horeca. Both companies focused on bars and restaurants with the Briska and the Somersby brands.
