Key insights and drivers behind the beer and cider market performance
Key Highlights
In 2024, beer experienced a modest annual volume growth rate of 0.1%. The increase in consumer visits to foodservice establishments contributed to the category’s volume growth. Conversely, cider volumes saw a decline of 24% that year, primarily due to competition from alternatives and insufficient innovation to attract younger consumers.
Even amid cost-of-living pressures, many Bulgarians preferred high-end products. As a result, the premium and superpremium segments registered volume growth in 2024, despite their higher prices.
The growing health & wellness trend has encouraged many manufacturers to introduce zero-alcohol beers.
The beer & cider sector was dominated by brands in 2024, with private labels limited to a small share of the sector.
Retail sales accounted for 79.6% of overall beer volumes and 63.7% of overall cider volumes in 2024.
Ecommerce is expected to lead retail growth in the forecast period despite its small share, owing to the increasing consumer demand for convenience and frequent discounts.
