On-trade sales of alcoholic drinks dropped sharply in 2020 as a range of restrictions were introduced to curb the spread of COVID-19. This was compensated for partly by a sharp increase in the retail consumption of beer, but many other categories such as wine, spirits and RTDs did not see a significant increase in retail demand. Due to mounting health concerns some consumers looked to reduce their alcohol intake while other consumers cut back on alcoholic drinks due to economic pressures.
