Inflation in Hungary looks set to remain high in the short term, hence spirits is projected to experience a further slowdown in off- and on-trade volume growth rates in 2023. However, as inflationary pressures recede and purchasing power starts to recover, overall demand should pick up in 2024 and then increase steadily thereafter.
Competition in spirits is expected to intensify over the forecast period, partly due to increasing maturity but also because the effects of the current cost-of-living crisis will still be felt by many Hungarians long after inflation comes down. Larger domestic firms and multinationals will be better equipped to adapt to these conditions, as their economies of scale and ability to absorb a higher percentage of cost increases will enable them to limit further unit price hikes, while greater capacity for investment in innovation, distribution and marketing activities will help to maintain interest in their brands.
Although it will be some time before purchasing power recovers from the recent spike in inflation, premiumisation in spirits looks set to remain strong over the forecast period. In particular, it is expected consumers will continue to show growing interest in higher quality imported English gin brands and local craft or artisanal-style gin products with novel colours and more refined flavours.
