The World Cup delivered FMCG sales uplifts across markets, but the underlying sources differed dramatically. UK beer and supermarket sales surged, France saw match-dependent spikes, US growth concentrated in host cities, Germany benefited from extreme heat, Norway recorded strong beer growth, while Dutch campaigns added little corrected market growth. The key RGM lesson is that uplift is not automatically incremental or profitable. Sales may come from category expansion, competitive switching, retail or channel switching, cannibalisation, subsidised baseline, value upgrading or stockpiling. Businesses should therefore evaluate where growth came from, not simply how much they sold, before declaring an activation successful.
