Competition in Craft Beer Market Strengthens Marketing Strategies

Each beer admirer has an onelist interpretation when trying to detail craft beer and tales of discovery to share. Defining a true craft beer becomes more difficult with each beer brand offering something new. Going over-board many craft beer manufacturers are bringing consumers into their marketing sphere. Brewers making customers feel like they are naturally discovering their beer, is worth a toast. Craft beer is a billion-dollar business today where off -strategy sale and marketing was unwelcomed so far as a pint of Natural Beer (rated as world's worst beer by Refinedguy.com in 2013) So how do craft beer makers anticipating growth apply as well as execute compelling marketing strategy?



How effective business plans unfold without adulterating reliability and tarnishing customer relationship? Marketing for craft beer apes’ small business enterprise as well as retail marketing. Besides this there is a lot more fun when integrated with social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more into the mix! Several studies indicate that craft beer represents just close to 6% of the entire beer industry, but the market is continuously pouring on many beer lovers. Craft drinkers today keep a tab and follow their preferred market on media to know the beers they got to try! Such social media strategy and follow function has enabled craft beer bars to stay more competitive than their rivals.



Another factor that has guided several craft breweries like Meg Gill and Tony Yanow based in Los –Angeles is wholesale beer distributorship. Many parts of the United States were earlier not very receptive to this beer category. The competition between the small craft breweries have heated up, and what’s more important is how different brands are defining the drinking experience beyond the can or bottle. Hosting or attending beer events has helped producers expand their presence and grow their customer base. For the inside scoop on how healthy are craft beers, we picked the below chart. 



So why is there so much of hype for craft beer marketing? Many answer because the entire world has woken up to different flavors and savor in everything and beer forms an important part. In an interview to CNBC’s, Closing Bell Founder and Brewer at Boston Beer Jim Koch said when began brewing in his kitchen almost thirty-one years ago, many did not appreciate his idea. He added, but now Americans have started demanding both quality and taste in their beer. Several researches reveal that in America alone the number of craft beers have almost doubled in size (between 2014 – 2015). By the end of 2015, experts indicate that there would be new breweries opening up in the country every 10 or 12 hours. Industry growth is increasing in different countries such as America, Australia etc. and steaming from the blend of provenance including retail environment and effective business models. 

Furthermore, the continuous growth of independent breweries demonstrates that increasing industry opportunities and demand are widespread. So with competition in the sector growing the need for producers to be able to differentiate and brew world-class beer has become more important than ever. The growth is likely to accelerate through the progress of tax breaks for breweries in countries like Australia. Small businesses have now emerged as of the intense spots in both a country’s economy as well as culture. Craft brewers are fulfilling the demand of their local communities, brewing up fresh jobs and encouraging tourism. New craft brewers who match standards like high quality have been welcomed by customers across the world with open arms. 


There has been a significant growth in the session beer that has not only allowed the existing craft beer lovers to increase the volume but also keep the consumption level of alcohol static. Thus most brands are beginning to look like volume drivers. Eyeing the exponential growth in the craft beer market Allied Market Research, has published a market research report on Global Beer Market. The study confirms craft beer market has paved a path for the next generation brewers. 

So to keep the craft beer sales on the rise the marketing cliché has played a major role in getting the service or brands in front of buyers. Craft beer manufacturers today need more than a simple ho-hum branding or advertising campaign or a Twitter page followers. Today, brands need to stand out and a little secret to it is creativity. Craft beers are in the front lines of competing with each other for cross –drinkers.

Smart Pills transforming the Diagnostics and Healthcare Market

Smart pills are ingestible medical devices consisting of elements such as sensors, cameras, patches and trackers that help in better diagnostics and monitoring. These unique devices can be easily swallowed and offer a non-invasive thorough examination of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The smart pills also enables comprehensive health monitoring of various physiological metrics and measuring medication adherence in patients. The below demo clearly indicates how to use the device to monitor your daily medicine intake.



Smart pill technology has revolutionized the field of GI diagnosis. Smart pills are likely to replace conventional diagnostic techniques such as endoscopy and colonoscopy. Capsule endoscopy is regarded as a major technical innovation, influencing investigation and management of various small bowel diseases, esophageal disorders, colonic disorders etc. Capsule endoscopes are designed to provide complete examination of GIT including images of esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine.. The capsule endoscopy segment is gaining a strong foothold in the smart pills market.

The capsule endoscopy is noninvasive and causes minimal discomfort. The magnification obtained, here is of the order 1:8, which is much higher as compared to the conventional endoscopy. Various capsule endoscopes available in the market include small bowel capsule, colon capsule and esophagus capsule endoscopes. Small bowel capsule is the most commonly used capsule endoscope in patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding or to detect symptoms of active Crohn’s disease (CD).On the other hand, esophagus capsule endoscopes are used to diagnose esophagitis and Barrett’s esophagus. 

Companies today are focusing on exploring the field of gastroenterology. Recent studies by various researchers to develop products have enabled clinicians to obtain clearer & better images of the GI tract which offers new hope for gastrointestinal cancer detection Recently, researchers from Chinese University of Hong Kong, have developed an advanced endoscope known as ‘Tadpole Endoscope (TE), which mimics the movement of tadpoles’. TE is different from existing wireless capsule endoscopes since the presence of a soft tail enables it to be guided around the GI tract remotely by a clinician. This allows for better imaging of the stomach and thereby helping in the accurate location of problems.

Recently in 2014, Given Imaging Ltd, a pioneer of capsule endoscopy received FDA clearance for PillCam COLON. The device provides new modality to ensure clear visualization of the colon in patients following incomplete colonoscopy. According to some recent studies, incomplete colonoscopies occur in approximately 750,000 patients in the United States alone every year. The number is further higher in women due to an increase in past pelvic surgeries. There is a growing demand for such devices among patients having long case history of abdominal surgery or advanced stage of diverticular disease. This non-invasive test enabled by PillCam COLON allows more people to get screened for colorectal cancer, and gives a minimally invasive, radiation-free option. These devices in the market have revolutionized colorectal cancer diagnostics and screening market worldwide. The following infographics shows how the product PillCam COLON works. 

Another key application of smart pills is patient monitoring that includes monitoring of parameters such as pH, temperature, pressure and drug adherence in patients. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimate, over 50% of us fail to take medicines correctly, while over 50% of drugs are prescribed or sold inappropriately. This leads to disastrous consequences, resulting in significant complications and deterioration of patient health. The situation aggravates with ageing of patients, since they often require management of one or more chronic conditions with multiple medications. The trend may also cost healthcare providers millions every year. 




To deal with such non-adherence in patients due to various reasons, Proteus Digital Health, Inc. California-based Proteus Digital Health and Otsuka Pharmaceuticals have developed smart pill having an ingestible sensor. The digital pill is first of its kind to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an aid to measure medication adherence.  The new drug application accepted by FDA was for an oral tablet that combines Otsuka’s branded antipsychotic Abilify (aripiprazole) with an embedded ingestible sensor device developed by Proteus Digital Health The ingestible device consists of minuscule sensors made of silicon along with metals-magnesium and copper, present in traces. The device gets powered on when the metals come in contact with stomach acids thereby triggering the sensor to generate signals that can be picked up by a disposable bandage-like patch worn by patient. The patch relays information to a mobile phone application. The following link shows how clinicians will use FDA approved digital pill to monitor patients and facilitate effective drug delivery among them. 

With the patient’s consent, the information can be assessed by caregivers and clinicians, thus helping individuals to develop and sustain healthy habits. Furthermore, it enables medical practitioners and doctors to offer more effective, data-driven health-care. The application can track the drug's effects - whether it's been prescribed at the right dosage, or if it simply isn't having any effect on the patient’s body..

The following tweets highlights the promising features of smart pills.
There are many research studies done by market research firms which tracks the current and future market trends along with offering an insight into the key drivers and growth opportunities of the market across major regions. As per a recent report by Allied Market Research, the smart pills technology market would reach $627.1 million, globally, by 2020, registering 21.2% CAGR during the forecast period 2015-2020.

In future, technological advancements to enhance the features of smart pills such as non-invasiveness, patient convenience and real time monitoring would drive their adoption rate in patient monitoring, diagnostic imaging and drug delivery.
