Spirits suffered a sharp decline in sales in both off- and on-trade volume terms in 2023, which was mostly due to price rises and the financial pressures being faced by locals due to an increase in the cost of living. Although sales of spirits declined slightly in total volume terms in 2024 the category’s performance was more stable with sales even reporting modest growth in on-trade volume terms. Spirits nonetheless saw polarised performances across the different categories in 2024.
