Key insights and drivers behind the beer and cider market performance
Key Highlights
- The beer and cider sector experienced a modest increase in volume sales, primarily fueled by a rise in tourism and promotional activities during the latter half of the year. However, the sector encountered considerable challenges stemming from fluctuations in consumer confidence and a sluggish economic outlook for 2024. The increasing emphasis on health and wellness is influencing consumer purchasing decisions, with many opting for zero-alcohol and low-alcohol alternatives.
- The discount price segment demonstrated the most rapid growth in both volume and value in 2024, particularly in the context of high inflation. While established brands maintained a significant share of the market, heightened price sensitivity prompted many consumers to gravitate towards private label products.
- Retail channels captured the largest market share in 2024, with the e-commerce sub-channel experiencing the fastest growth, driven by convenience and a broad product availability. Glass bottles continued to lead the Italian beer and cider market in 2024, owing to their content visibility, effective barrier protection, and well-established collection and recycling systems.
