Declining alcoholic drinks industry faces mounting challenges

While alcoholic drinks posted growth in total current value terms in the US in 2018, and slightly above its performance in the previous year, it continued to decline in total volume terms. The overall decline in total volume terms was due to falling beer sales, with the improved performance of the spirits category, with the craft segment in particular driving growth, not able to completely offset the beer performance.

The health trend is here to stay

US drinkers are looking to alcoholic beverages for more than just indulgence. Health and wellness trends are impacting most categories within alcoholic drinks, with consumers looking at the holistic health effects of drinks, especially carbohydrate and alcohol content by volume.

The craft trend is growing in beer and spirits

Although macro beer brewers have continually moved to purchase competitors, the consolidation of the beer category has been slowed by the rise of independent, small craft brewers. Since 2014, these brewers have seen consistent growth in the US, taking advantage of the popularity of locally-produced beers which boast of ties to a local region.

Success for value-centric retail channels

Young adult US consumers consider value for money to be an essential criterion when making their purchasing decision about alcoholic drinks, and this is reflected in the development of distribution channels. Warehouse clubs and discounters have taken advantage not only of this emphasis on value, but also of this consumer group’s disregard for tradition, which was essential for older demographics purchasing wine.

Alcoholic drinks is set to decline over the forecast period

Despite positive growth being expected in wine and spirits, total volume sales of alcoholic drinks are expected to decline in the forecast period, largely due to the expected drop in volume sales of beer. The growth of craft beer and spirits is part of a larger trend of premiumisation, which is sweeping many packaged goods industries.
