The reopening of the market and increase in tourism had a strong impact on alcoholic drinks’ performance in 2022. While total volume sales of alcoholic drinks did not return to the 2019 pre-pandemic level. Despite the fast growth in on-trade consumption, this tended to cannibalise retail volume sales. However, there were divergences according to category. For example, lager total volume sales remained below the 2019 level, but low/non alcohol beer exceeded 2019 total volume sales.
