Key insights and drivers behind the beer and cider market performance
Scope
a) Spiraling inflation, triggered by the increase in prices of key inputs such as hops and barley, as well as material such as aluminum and paper, negatively impacted beverage production and consumption. Manufacturers passed down rising input costs to consumers, which led budget-conscious households to buy fewer products or switch to cheaper ones.
b)The normalization of operations at hotel, restaurant, and café (HoReCa) venues bolstered on-premise consumption of beer and cider in 2022.
Key Highlights
In 2024, beer experienced a modest annual volume growth rate of 2.6%. The increase in consumer visits to foodservice establishments contributed to the category’s volume growth. Conversely, cider volumes saw a decline of 0.5% that year, primarily due to competition from alternatives and insufficient innovation to attract younger consumers.
Even amid cost-of-living pressures, many Slovak consumers preferred high-end products. As a result, the premium and superpremium segments registered volume growth in 2024, despite their higher prices.
The strengthening of the 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 76.2% of overall beer volumes and 87% 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.
