Alcoholic drinks in Portugal faced relevant challenges in 2024, with prices increasing due to an IABA tax of 10% which was implemented by the government in 2024. This was in addition to the tax increase in 2023 and the impact of inflation on prices, all of which hampered stronger growth in alcoholic drinks in total volume terms in 2024. Some companies absorbed part of the increase in costs by reducing their margins, but other players simply passed on most of the added cost to consumers.
