Total volume sales of alcoholic drinks in Switzerland decreased slightly in 2023, due to the moderate drop recorded by the dominant category, beer. Meanwhile, in current terms, total value sales rose strongly at the end of the review period. This was due to several factors impacting consumption behaviour and overall sales. For example, amid still relatively high inflation, the rise in demand in the on-trade channel saw an increase in average unit prices and value sales.
