During the first quarter of 2022, all COVID-19 related restrictions were lifted. This enabled on-trade consumption to gradually recover. However, double-digit inflation stimulated consumer drive to seek out cheaper goods and economise on non-essentials. There was also a change in the excise rate on soft drinks as of January 2022 in which the rate of tax on soft drinks containing 8g or more of sugar per 100ml increased. This combined with the launch of a drinks packaging deposit system of EUR0.
