Beverage consumption is shifting, but most brands are still stuck with outdated, incomplete visibility.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