Key insights and drivers behind the beer and cider market performance
Scope
a) In 2023, Serbia’s economy grew by 2.5%. This can be attributed to the performance of the agriculture and construction sectors and the strong recovery of the energy sector.
b) Beer, the largest category, registered annual volume growth of 2% in 2023, whereas cider’s volume declined annually by 12.5% in 2023.
Key Highlights
The convenience of exploring beer & cider products through online platforms—where offerings are broader and include specialty or imported brands—helped to elevate consumer expectations. Inflationary pressure made consumers more price-conscious, but that did not eliminate demand for quality. Rather, many shoppers became more selective: promotions and value mattered, but many were willing to “trade up” selectively for perceived better taste, better origin, or premium experience. The market polarized between those pursuing value and those chasing premiumization/experiences. Steady macroeconomic normalization supported underlying demand in the Serbian beer & cider market. Beer remained deeply embedded in social and cultural occasions, sustaining core volumes, particularly in the premium segments.
