2025 Developments
In 2025, alcoholic drinks in Czech Republic recorded a sharper volume contraction compared to other Eastern European countries, falling by 4% to 1663.2 million litres, despite modest economic growth. The landscape was challenging for established brands as consumption of traditional beer, wine, and spirits continued to decline, while the resilience and expansion of non-alcoholic, lower-alcohol, and flavour-driven options proved robust. Demand was increasingly shaped by moderation, health-consciousness and the pursuit of novelty, with younger adults driving a generational shift towards lighter, functional, and more convenient drinks. The attractiveness of alcoholic drinks in Czech Republic lies in its potential for value creation through innovation and premiumisation, yet price sensitivity and cost-of-living pressures demand a dual focus on affordability and experience.
