Research alcohol category demand, market trends and trade audience needs in the UK and international markets.

The commission

What the work covers

Research alcohol category demand, market trends and trade audience needs in the UK and international markets, with the countries and questions agreed in the brief. Use published or appropriately licensed data and voluntary business surveys or interviews where included in the project. Select methods to suit the business question and document sample limits, assumptions and data permissions.

How we approach the work

  1. Agree the market questions, products, UK and international markets covered, and research methods.
  2. Review published or licensed data and analyse agreed voluntary survey or interview responses.
  3. Analyse findings and qualify conclusions against source coverage and sample limits.

Scope and boundaries

Survey and interview participation is voluntary. Methods, participant information, data permissions and the applicable lawful basis are agreed before collection. Findings state sample and source limits. Research participation is kept separate from marketing permissions.

  • Market Data Services

    Structured alcohol market datasets, dashboards and scheduled reporting for the UK and selected international markets.

  • UK Market Entry Analysis

    UK market entry research and planning for international alcohol brands and producers, covering category opportunities, trade channels and launch priorities.

  • International Market Entry Analysis

    Assess overseas market opportunities and potential entry routes for alcohol brands and producers.

Scope and independence

Lobbying and representation before public authorities are delivered directly by Alcohol Ltd within the UK and only in relation to UK public bodies. We do not undertake or arrange lobbying of foreign governments, legislatures, regulators or international public bodies, directly, remotely or through intermediaries.

International work covers research, commercial analysis, media, publishing and private-sector trade event support. It excludes campaigns to influence non-UK public decisions, representation to non-UK public authorities and arranging others to provide those services.

Commercial research uses sources and documents whose disclosure and use are permitted for the project. Personal data needs an appropriate lawful basis, privacy information and any applicable overseas-transfer safeguards. Investment recommendations, investment transaction arrangements, financial audits and compliance certification are outside this research service.

Client approval concerns commissioned deliverables and factual checks. Editors retain responsibility for independent publication, corrections and removal decisions. A commercial commission does not buy favourable independent coverage, the suppression of legitimate reporting, editorial endorsement or control over our policy positions. Confidential journalistic sources are not made available through commercial client approval.

Our regulated editorial material follows the Editors' Code of Practice, including accuracy, distinguishing fact from opinion and conjecture, privacy and timely corrections with due prominence. IPSO regulates editorial material within its remit; it does not approve our consultancy, research, PR or lobbying services. Advertising is clearly identified where applicable.

Appointments require an agreed written brief and checks on the client, conflicts, sanctions and any applicable registration, disclosure, data-use and permission requirements before work begins. Scope, fees and responsibilities are agreed separately, subject to our service and jurisdictional terms.
