Beer in Greece registered fast total volume sales growth in 2024. It remained the largest category in alcoholic drinks and posted fast growth in both on- and off-trade volume sales at the end of the review period. Off-trade volume growth was faster than on-trade volume growth in 2024, albeit from a slightly lower base.
