Sales of alcoholic drinks increased in 2021 as the on-trade recovered robustly from sales declines seen at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Rising local production played a huge role by making products more affordable and more consistently available as importers faced challenges ensuring a consistent supply of their products.
The steep price increases that were seen in the prices of alcoholic drinks during 2021 had a fairly strong impact on consumer attitudes towards these products as demand in some categories come under pressure due to declining consumer purchasing power. On the supply side, high inflation also impacted various industry players, with some manufacturers finding it increasingly difficult to acquire essential raw materials for their production activities due to rising prices, especially for imported inputs.
Drinking alcohol is deemed to be socially acceptable in Angola and there are no taboos surrounding the consumption of alcoholic drinks or moderate intoxication. Indeed, there is a strong drinking culture in the country and it is normal to see people ranging in age from older adolescents to the elderly consuming beer in particular at any time of the day.
More expensive types of alcoholic drinks such as premium whiskies, wine and spirits are mainly purchased by high- and mid-income consumers. RTDs, cider/perry and beer are affordable for the majority of mid-income consumers, while beer is one major category of alcoholic drinks that can be purchased by consumers of all income levels as it has the lowest average unit price and is widely available throughout the country.
It is generally quite easy to transport goods from one point to another within Angola’s cities, especially in the larger metropolitan areas, where the roads tend to be very well developed. However, it is less easy to transport goods between provinces, as the main trunk roads in some interior parts of the country are in very poor condition, including roads linking interior regions with Luanda.
