Beverage consumption is shifting, but most brands are still stuck with outdated, incomplete visibility.


If you're not leveraging out-of-home consumption data, you're missing the most decisive piece of the growth puzzle.





1. Why Out-of-Home Consumption Data Is a Strategic Game-Changer


In a landscape where on-trade sales (bars, cafés, restaurants, hotels) can represent up to 50% of volume for some beverage categories, relying only on sell-in or retail data means leaving your blind side exposed.


Here's what out-of-home consumption data delivers :


True Demand Signal :

Instead of tracking what was shipped, track what was actually consumed.


Territory Intelligence :

Identify consumption hotspots, from local bars to national chains, in real time.


Activation ROI Tracking :

Know exactly how your promotions, tastings, or challenges impact real orders.


Competitor Benchmarking :

Spot where rival brands are winning share, so you can win it back.





2. The Blind Spot : What Most Beverage Brands Still Don’t See


Imagine launching a national activation with premium POS materials, influencer partnerships, and in-bar visibility.


Three months later, you ask :


  • Did we increase actual consumption ?

  • Which venues drove most of the uplift ?

  • Did our brand outperform competitors in key cities ?


If you can't answer with certainty, you're not alone.


Most brands still operate on incomplete, indirect indicators, while real-time out-of-home consumption data can deliver these answers in days, not quarters.





3. Breaking the Industry Illusion


❌ “We Have Sales Data Already”


Most teams confuse sell-in data with sell-out insights. But :


  • Sell-in = what the distributor delivered

  • Sell-out = what the customer actually consumed


Without consumption data, you’re tracking supply, not impact.

And when it comes to growing market share, impact is everything.
