The Bars and Nightclubs industry has grappled with turbulent changes over the past five years, primarily catalyzed by the pandemic. A strong rebound has followed as a testament to the industry's resilience. Nonetheless, falling interest in alcohol consumption among younger consumers, coupled with record-high inflation, has depressed demand for drinking and nightlife activities as these are deemed nonessential. Nonetheless, stable alcohol consumption and demand for socialization among affluent customers keep demand afloat. Due to a low pandemic base year, industry revenue has experienced an annualized growth rate of 12.8% over the five years to 2025, reaching $39.0 billion. In 2025, revenue is expected to rise 1.2%, with profit accounting for 5.8% of industry revenue. This industry isn't resting on its laurels amid cutthroat competition and swift transformations. Innovation and distinctiveness drive an evolving landscape as businesses like wine bars, cocktail lounges and brewpubs rise to prominence. To differentiate from competitors, a focus has been placed on superior customer service, notable bartenders and interactive live entertainment. Emphasizing pricing strategies in this competitive environment could be perilous due to soaring operational costs. Intriguingly, various alternatives to bars and nightclubs exist, as patrons can select restaurants or arrange home-based events for their social needs. Owing to this, establishments must perpetually innovate to keep their clientele interested and committed. Bars and nightclubs are pivoting to serve more nonalcoholic drinks to customers who value health over the joy of drinking. As customers still look for the social aspects and experiences at bars and nightclubs, operators must host special events and provide exotic experiences. Over the five years to 2030, industry revenue is expected to expand an annualized 1.5% to $42.0 billion.

The sector of pubs, bars, discos and other establishments specialising in serving drinks is struggling with difficult conditions. Legal regulations, declining alcohol consumption, changing leisure behaviour and the coronavirus pandemic have recently increased the pressure on market players. In addition to the external competition that the industry is facing, particularly from restaurants and the sale of cheaper drinks in retail outlets, which is having a negative impact on revenue, there is also intense competition within the industry in the extremely fragmented market. In the period from 2019 to 2024, industry sales fell by an average of 6.5% per year. In 2020 in particular, there were dramatic losses in sales due to the prolonged pandemic-related closures, and sales barely recovered in the following year. From 2022, however, turnover in the sector increased significantly again, although this was mainly due to price increases in the food and beverage sector. In 2024, industry turnover is expected to increase by 0.5% to 5.4 billion euros.While stagnating alcohol consumption, which is particularly evident in the decline in beer sales, is having a negative impact on industry turnover, the market for non-alcoholic alternatives that pick up on current nutrition and lifestyle trends offers new growth potential. The demand for non-alcoholic beer in particular has grown strongly in recent years. Rising net monthly household incomes are likely to lead to more visits to bars and pubs. In the current year, competitive pressure from supermarkets is likely to be lower than in previous years, which will also ease the pressure on industry players. However, the persistently high energy, rent and food prices continue to weigh on the sector.The ongoing intense competition within and outside the industry is likely to continue to drive innovation in terms of catering concepts and product and service offerings. If operators of pubs, clubs and bars manage to successfully meet the growing demand for regionality, fair trade and superfoods with new drinks creations and complementary services, they are likely to see positive growth over the next five years. IBISWorld anticipates an average annual increase in industry turnover of 3.1% over this period, which should reach 6.3 billion euros by 2029, as well as an increase in the number of companies operating in the sector.

Consumer sentiment, disposable income levels and drinking habits impact spending on drinking establishments, including pubs, bars, nightclubs and coffee shops. Europe is known for its well-established drinking culture, which varies from country to country. Beer and wine consumption are very popular on the continent, with many countries also major producers of these beverages. However, alcohol consumption per capita in Europe is on a downward trend, hindering demand for drinking establishments. Meanwhile, coffee shops benefit from resilient demand amid a thriving coffee culture on the continent. Industry revenue is expected to expand at a compound annual rate of 5.8% to €100.6 billion over the five years through 2025, including a 0.1% drop in 2025. The industry is driven by Europe’s deep-rooted culture of socialising, vibrant nightlife and evolving urban lifestyles. Climbing health consciousness, particularly among younger demographics, is shaping the industry’s performance, weakening per capita alcohol consumption levels across most European countries. Consumers are reducing their alcohol intake or completely cutting it off due to the health benefits of staying sober, presenting challenges to venues that rely on alcohol sales. This shift has forced many establishments to diversify their offerings, adding more non-alcoholic options and high-quality snacks. In the aftermath of the pandemic, the hurdle of surging inflation deterred spending on going out and drinking. Many consumers have since turned to beverages offered at supermarkets as off-trade alcohol prices are lower, hindering revenue over the three years through 2025. Intense competition from supermarkets and restaurants has pressured prices, hindering revenue and profit growth. This, paired with higher operational costs, has weighed on profitability. Industry revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 3.7% to €120.4 billion over the five years through 2030. An improving European economy will bolster consumer sentiment and disposable incomes, fuelling spending on on-premise drinking. Premiumisation is set to be an emerging trend, with consumers willing to pay more for craft, high-quality beverages, as well as memorable experiences and entertainment. However, subdued levels of alcohol consumption per capita and escalating competition will limit revenue growth. To combat competition and keep up with changing consumer preferences, drinking establishment operators will have to broaden their offerings, dabbling in more varied non-alcoholic beverage options. Those that fail to do so will struggle in the increasingly competitive market.

Consumer preferences and wider economic conditions affecting consumer finances impact spending on pubs, bars, nightclubs and coffee shops. A marked drop in alcohol consumption among the French population has challenged pubs, bars and nightclubs. Meanwhile, the country’s strong café culture has driven sales. Industry revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 5.2% to €7.3 billion over the five years through 2025, including a 0.6% rise in 2025.Ever-growing health consciousness and the surge of low-alcohol or alcohol-free beverages have influenced consumers’ preferences away from alcohol. Many consumers are gravitating towards coffee, teas and low-sugar juices, which have buoyed revenue. Coffee, a popular drink to have alongside a croissant or tartine , enjoys robust demand, with coffee shops leveraging this by offering speciality and artisanal brews. Drinking establishments have faced significant competitive pressures from supermarkets and bakeries, which entice consumers to buy from lower prices and diverse options. In response, pubs and bars have innovated their offerings, rolling out unique beverages like craft beer and cocktails to retain clientele. Similarly, coffee shops have focused on high-quality, ethically sourced coffee. Lockdown restrictions amid the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel bans and the temporary closures of drinking establishments, decimated revenue in 2020. The gradual lifting of restrictions and strong consumer demand for socialising fuelled revenue growth over the two years through 2022. However, drinking establishments’ recovery was restricted by soaring inflation which weakened consumer spending on out-of-home beverage consumption and elevated costs, notably utilities and purchase costs. Easing inflation is encouraging consumers to loosen their purse strings and spend on drinking establishments in 2025. Normalising inflation and expanding consumer sentiment and disposable incomes will drive consumer spending on out-of-home beverages. Declining alcohol consumption as health consciousness grows will continue pressuring pubs, bars and nightclubs. Drinking establishments will innovate with themed nights, craft beverages and premium offerings to counter growing competition from external retailers. Technological integration, including digital ordering and loyalty apps, will enhance customer experiences and bring efficiencies. Establishments focusing on eco-friendly practices will foster customer loyalty and spending. Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 0.9% to €7.6 billion over the five years through 2030.
