Premium segment drives growth in Hungary

The Hungarian economy continued to improve, reaching the lowest ever unemployment rates while average wages and real incomes continued to grow. The strengthening spending power and the strong summer season of 2017 positively affected alcoholic drinks in Hungary.

Consumers more open to experiment; craft beer’s popularity spreads

New product launches and innovation is adding dynamism to beer in Hungary. Craft beer began to emerge over the review period, opening fashionable pubs and specialist stores, organising festivals and generating a media buzz, but a breakthrough started in 2017 as several companies organised wider distribution and some broke into off-trade with their premium ale and lager product lines.

Promotions and coordinated campaigns prove to be effective

Alcoholic drinks is dominated by internationally-owned companies and the influence of large breweries and imported spirits distributors is expected to strengthen over the forecast period, due to their intensive marketing activities and the strong distribution network across all off-trade and on-trade channels. Mass media promotion and the sponsoring of sporting events and music festivals by leading manufacturers, special offers by distributors and off-trade outlets play the most important role in the performance of alcoholic drinks.

Landscape remains concentrated, on-trade performance boosted by hot summer

Price-sensitive consumers have become used to frequent discounts in alcoholic drinks and actively seek out channels where drinks are cheaper or there is a special offer. These are most frequent in large modern channels such as hypermarkets, supermarkets and discounter chains.

Economic growth and legislative stability improves outlook

The Hungarian economy is predicted to remain on a growth track, with a stable government and legislative environment, promising a positive outlook for alcoholic drinks over the forecast period. Continued growth is expected both in terms of volume and value in most categories.
