Market Insights Snapshot
In Ontario, Hover Beverages has seen a slight decline in their performance in the Beverages category. They started in July 2023 at rank 24 but have slipped down to 28 by October 2023. This indicates a possible decrease in their market share, which is also reflected in their sales figures. July saw sales of around 37,466 units, but by October, this had dropped to 25,062 units. While this is not a dramatic decrease, it does suggest a downward trend that Hover Beverages will need to address.
On a more positive note, in Saskatchewan, Hover Beverages has shown a significant improvement. The brand was not even in the top 20 in July, but by September, they had managed to climb to rank 20 and further improved to rank 17 in October. This upward movement is a good sign and shows that their market presence is growing in Saskatchewan. The sales data also supports this, with sales increasing from 467 units in August to 1,367 in October. This is a significant increase and indicates a strong upward trend for Hover Beverages in this market.
