Key Market Issues
The high cost of penalties for driving while intoxicated are affecting beer consumption especially
the on-premise market.
Historically most Costa Ricans drink high quantity of beer but only during the weekends or on
special occasions
Even though Costa Rica survived the recession successfully, growth in the coming years is
expected to be lower that during the pre-crisis boom, as the economy remains dependent on US
demand.
Individual packaging continues to be the favourite format mainly because consumers prefer to
consume individual bottles
Although the per capita consumption of Costa Rica is lower that in neighboring countries, the
market considered mature and increasing the average consumption is going to be a difficult task.
Key Highlights
Started as seasonal product but has become part of the brewer's portfolio as it attracts new
consumers because its flavor is softer than regular beers.
Premium and super premium beers have both grown by almost 5%, accounting for 11% of the
market together.
Marketing activities in 2011 focused on campaigns and their main objective was to teach

3. consumers how to consume in a responsible way.
In 2011 imports experienced a growth of 12% mainly driven by the imports of Old Milwaukee by
Wal-Mart, which has been able to list beer in most of its stores.
Cerveceria de Costa Rica, advertised beer through the Festival Imperial, a three day music
festival."
