Restaurant industry - additional information

Unsurprisingly, one of the most commonly alcoholic consumed beverages in U.S. bars and taverns is beer. Around half of the alcohol consumed in the United States falls into the beer category and spirit consumption makes up about one third. Each year, nearly 200 million beer barrels are sold to U.S. bars and taverns.

Despite the health risks associated with drinking alcohol, it is consumed in large amounts worldwide. The average per capita pure alcohol consumption in the United States was 8.7 liters between 2008 and 2010, according to the World Health Organization. Belarus was the country with the second highest per capita alcohol consumption worldwide in 2016. Its population above the age of 15 years consumed 16.4 liters of pure alcohol per capita that year.

That said, recent statistics show that food and drink sales of snack and non-alcoholic beverage bars in the United States are much higher than those that serve alcohol. Food and drink sales of snack and non-alcoholic beverage bars have risen since 2009 and the National Restaurant Association projects that they will reach 38.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2016.

Ramen is a Japanese dish that can be made with a variety of broth and noodles, served with proteins and vegetables. Over the five years to 2024, ramen has surged in popularity, first introduced to the US via the popularity of instant ramen packets for at-home preparation. Demand grew and became particularly high as Japanese cuisine has rapidly expanded in popularity among young demographics. Since then, many high-quality ramen restaurants have opened in the US, offering both traditional and gourmet interpretations. Over the last few years, revenue for ramen restaurants is expected to expand at a CAGR of 1.5% to $1.6 billion. As the federal and state governments forced a temporary shutdown of nonessential establishments at the outbreak of COVID-19, followed by operating restrictions of the food service sector, revenue contracted nearly 25.0% in 2020 alone. Many restaurants, including ramen restaurants, were forced to limit indoor operations to facilitate social distancing and slow the spread of the virus. A surge in the unemployment rate and decline in consumer spending limited consumer propensity to make discretionary purchases like dining out. Despite decreased operations, this contraction in wage costs and a major recovery in 2021 helped profits grow in the last few years. Overall, revenue is forecast to increase at a CAGR of 1.2% over the five years to 2029, totaling $1.7 billion. As revenue expands, restauranters will open new locations, expanding into suburbs and smaller communities to capture greater market share. This and the service-oriented nature of the ramen restaurants will dictate a small increase in employment. Per capita disposable income and consumer spending will remain high, bolstering revenue.

Online beer, wine and liquor sales have skyrocketed alongside per capita disposable income and consumer awareness surrounding the online sale of alcohol. Mobile internet connections have swelled since 2019, creating a robust potential consumer base for online alcohol retailers. The pandemic provided a significant opportunity for alcohol delivery as many states loosened regulations surrounding direct-to-consumer shipments of alcohol to accommodate stay-at-home orders. Still, state-by-state variations in regulations for online alcohol distribution have challenged online retailers. Over the past five years, revenue has been surging at a CAGR of 16.5% and is expected to reach $3.1 billion in 2024, when sales are estimated to expand by 4.0%. Online alcohol sales benefitted greatly from pandemic-era nonessential business closures and social distancing measures. Consumers' desire for alcohol blossomed in many areas, and online sellers became an attractive option. Consumers did return to on-premise establishments as policies eased, but many found the markup at such locales unfavorable compared to those through retail establishments. Moreover, the convenience of online shopping became commonplace for many demographics, enabling sustained growth of online alcohol sellers. The hike in demand has enabled retailers to price products competitively and generate steady expansion in profit, even in the pandemic's wake. Sales will be tempered over the next five years, especially when compared with those of the current period. Like many online industries, online beer, wine and liquor retailers enjoyed years of explosive growth, largely stemming from the services' newness. As a result, the pool of potential new customers has dwindled and will continue to do so through 2029. Climbing sales will persist as online alcohol shopping has become wholeheartedly accepted. Still, retailers will contend with normalization and heightened competition from other alcohol retailers and on-premise markets, like bars and restaurants. Revenue is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 2.8% over the next five years, reaching $2.5 billion in 2029.

Ice Cream Bar Market Outlook

The global ice cream bar market size was valued at approximately USD 21.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach around USD 32 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period. The growth of this market is largely driven by increasing consumer demand for convenient and indulgent dessert options. The market's expansion is also supported by innovations in flavor profiles and the rising popularity of various dietary preferences including vegan and low-sugar alternatives.

One of the key growth factors in the ice cream bar market is the increasing consumer inclination towards convenience foods. As life gets busier, consumers are leaning towards ready-to-eat and on-the-go snack options, and ice cream bars fit perfectly into this category. The convenience of ice cream bars combined with their indulgent nature makes them a popular choice among all age groups, further propelling market growth. Also, the expansion of the retail sector, which includes supermarkets, hypermarkets, and convenience stores, has significantly boosted the availability and accessibility of ice cream bars.

Another major growth driver is the continuous innovation in flavors and formulations. Manufacturers are investing heavily in research and development to introduce unique and exotic flavors, as well as healthier options like low-calorie, sugar-free, and dairy-free varieties. This has broadened the consumer base, including health-conscious and vegan consumers, thereby driving market growth. Coupled with attractive packaging and effective marketing strategies, these innovations have significantly impacted consumer buying behavior, contributing to the market's upward trajectory.

Moreover, the growing disposable income and the rising middle-class population in developing regions are contributing to the increasing consumption of ice cream bars. As consumers gain more spending power, the demand for premium and gourmet ice cream bars also rises. The trend of premiumization, where consumers are willing to spend more on high-quality, artisanal products, is particularly evident in markets like North America and Europe. This shift towards premium products is expected to create lucrative opportunities for manufacturers in the coming years.

Regionally, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness significant growth due to its large and growing population, urbanization, and changing dietary habits. Countries such as China and India, with their increasing per capita income and westernization of eating habits, are becoming major markets for ice cream bars. North America and Europe, being mature markets, will see steady growth, driven by innovations and a preference for premium products. The Middle East & Africa, although a smaller market in comparison, is also showing promising growth potential due to increasing urbanization and lifestyle changes.

Product Type Analysis

The product type segment of the ice cream bar market is divided into dairy-based ice cream bars and non-dairy ice cream bars. Dairy-based ice cream bars have traditionally dominated the market, owing to their rich texture and flavor, which are highly preferred by consumers. These products are made using milk and cream, offering a creamy and indulgent experience. The dominance of dairy-based products can also be attributed to the extensive variety of flavors and combinations available in this category. Many leading brands are continually innovating within this segment to retain consumer interest and loyalty.

However, the non-dairy ice cream bar segment is gaining traction, driven by the increasing prevalence of lactose intolerance and the growing vegan population. Non-dairy ice cream bars are made using alternative milk sources such as almond, soy, coconut, and oat milk. These products cater to the dietary needs of vegan consumers and those with lactose intolerance or allergies. The non-dairy segment is expected to grow at a faster pace compared to its dairy counterpart, owing to its expanding consumer base and continuous product innovations. Major players in the market are investing in this segment to broaden their product portfolio and capture a larger market share.

The rising health consciousness among consumers is another factor contributing to the growth of the non-dairy ice cream bar segment. Consumers are increasingly looking for healthier alternatives to traditional indulgent snacks, and non-dairy ice cream bars often come with added benefits such as lower calories and natural ingredients. This shift in consumer preference is encou

Revenue for the Japanese restaurants experienced a gradual uptick over the last five years. Growth has been supported by the expanding palates of US consumers, increasingly seeking diverse ethnic cuisines. The industry has also benefited from increased popularity of exploring ethnic cuisine among younger demographics of consumers. Japanese restaurants encompass full-service franchises along with small-scale nonemployer establishments, like ramen stands and bento meal shops. Over the last few years, these performed relatively well despite disruption from the outbreak of COVID-19. In 2020 and 2021, restaurant owners contended with challenges stemming from the pandemic, including forced closures and supply chain disruptions. Recovery was swift, however, once the government lifted stay-at-home orders and revenue growth continued. The impact of the pandemic on revenue growth was ultimately limited, and revenue grew at a CAGR of 0.2% to $32.2 billion over the last five years, including a rise of 1.0% in 2024 alone. Japanese restaurants often source fresh seafood and high-quality meat, and therefore, prices per dish tend to be on the higher-end compared with other fare. Rising purchase costs of ingredients, particularly seafood, have posed significant challenges for Japanese restaurants in the US, leading to increased menu prices, reduced profit margins and several restaurants leaving the industry. Escalating input prices are influenced by factors like overfishing and supply chain disruptions. This has necessitated careful cost management and menu adjustments to maintain competitiveness, since dining out is a discretionary expense and higher menu prices are detrimental to demand. Overall, revenue is forecast to increase at a CAGR of 1.8% over the five years to 2029, totaling $35.1 billion. As revenue expands, restauranters will open new locations to capture market share. This and the service-oriented nature of the industry will dictate a small increase in industry employment. Per capita disposable income and seafood consumption will remain high, bolstering revenue.

The global cafe and bar market, valued at approximately $XX million in 2025, is projected to experience steady growth, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.06% from 2025 to 2033. This growth is fueled by several key drivers. The rising disposable incomes in developing economies are leading to increased spending on leisure activities, including dining out at cafes and bars. Furthermore, the burgeoning popularity of specialty coffee and craft cocktails, coupled with a growing preference for unique and experiential dining experiences, is significantly boosting market demand. The increasing prevalence of social media and its influence on consumer behavior also plays a role, with trendy cafes and bars often becoming popular Instagrammable destinations. However, the market faces certain restraints, including fluctuating raw material prices, stringent regulations concerning alcohol sales, and the increasing competition from home-based coffee and cocktail preparation. The market is segmented by service type (bars, cafes, coffee shops) and outlet type (chained outlets, independent outlets). Major players such as Starbucks, McDonald's, and Coca-Cola, along with numerous regional and independent businesses, are shaping market dynamics through innovation, expansion, and brand building. The regional distribution of the market demonstrates significant variations, with North America and Europe currently holding the largest market shares, driven by established consumer preferences and high per capita spending. However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to show significant growth potential in the coming years due to its expanding middle class and rising urbanization. The segmentation within the cafe and bar market offers further insights into specific trends. The chained outlet segment benefits from economies of scale and brand recognition, providing a stable foundation for market growth. Independent outlets, however, are thriving on their ability to offer unique concepts, personalized service, and a distinctive atmosphere catering to local consumer preferences. Within the service type segment, coffee shops and cafes continue to see substantial growth propelled by evolving tastes and the increasing demand for high-quality coffee and tea. Bars, while experiencing steady growth, are more susceptible to regulatory changes and consumer preferences regarding alcohol consumption. The projected market growth indicates promising opportunities for expansion, particularly in regions with developing economies and increasing consumer spending. Strategic investments in innovative products, superior customer service, and targeted marketing campaigns will be crucial for businesses seeking success in this dynamic and competitive market. Recent developments include: In March 2022, Daniel's Chai Bar, based in Brampton, Canada, announced a new pop-up location at Vaughan Mills near Toronto., In August 2022, Barrio Familia announced that they will launch a completely new world's largest tequila bar in London, the United Kingdom., In October 2021, Masque Restaurant has opened a bar within the restaurant with offers a wide array of alcoholic drinks in Mumbai, India..

Cocktail Base Spirits Market Outlook

The global cocktail base spirits market size was valued at USD 92.3 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 130.4 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% during the forecast period. This growth is driven by the increasing popularity of cocktail culture, innovative product offerings, and rising disposable incomes among consumers worldwide. The burgeoning trend of social drinking and the resurgence of classic cocktails are propelling the demand for base spirits used in concocting a variety of alcoholic beverages.

One of the primary growth drivers of the cocktail base spirits market is the evolving consumer preferences toward premium and super-premium spirits. Consumers are increasingly inclined towards high-quality, artisanal, and craft spirits, which often serve as the base for sophisticated cocktails. This shift is particularly evident among millennials and Gen Z, who are willing to spend more on unique and high-end drinking experiences. Moreover, the influence of social media and celebrity endorsements has played a significant role in promoting premium spirits, thus contributing to market growth.

Another key factor contributing to market expansion is the continuous innovation by spirit manufacturers. Companies are investing heavily in research and development to introduce new flavors, blends, and limited-edition releases. The development of flavored vodkas, botanical gins, and aged rums has widened the array of options for consumers, thereby stimulating demand. Additionally, collaborations between spirit brands and mixologists or bartenders have led to the creation of signature cocktails, further enhancing the appeal of cocktail base spirits.

The increasing number of bars, pubs, and restaurants globally also supports market growth. The hospitality industry is witnessing a surge in the number of establishments offering specialized cocktail menus, which in turn drives the demand for various base spirits. Furthermore, the rise of home bartending, especially accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to a growing market for cocktail kits and base spirits among households. The trend of at-home cocktail making is likely to sustain, given its convenience and the fun, social element associated with it.

Regionally, North America and Europe continue to dominate the cocktail base spirits market, owing to their well-established drinking cultures and high per capita consumption of alcoholic beverages. However, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth rate due to the increasing urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and a growing number of bars and restaurants. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are also emerging markets, driven by changing lifestyles and increasing acceptance of alcohol consumption.

The cocktail base spirits market also sees a growing interest in unique concoctions that blend traditional and modern elements. One such trend is the creation of an Alcoholic Drink With Spice and Fruit Ingredient, which offers a refreshing twist to classic cocktails. These drinks often incorporate spices like cinnamon or cloves, paired with fruits such as oranges or berries, to create a complex and flavorful profile. This innovation caters to consumers seeking new taste experiences and reflects the broader movement towards artisanal and handcrafted beverages. The versatility of these ingredients allows mixologists to experiment and craft signature cocktails that stand out in a competitive market.

Type Analysis

The cocktail base spirits market is segmented into various types, including Vodka, Gin, Rum, Tequila, Whiskey, Brandy, and others. Vodka holds a significant share of the market due to its versatile nature and popularity in a wide range of cocktails such as martinis, cosmopolitans, and bloody marys. Its neutral flavor makes it a preferred choice for both consumers and mixologists who seek to create innovative and balanced drinks. Additionally, the introduction of various flavored vodkas has further boosted its demand.

Gin, characterized by its distinct botanical flavors, is experiencing a renaissance, particularly driven by the popularity of gin-based cocktails like gin and tonic and negronis. The rise of craft gin

Beer Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global beer market size reached USD 725.5 billion in 2024, demonstrating a robust presence across key regions. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2025 to 2033, reaching an estimated value of USD 1,065.3 billion by 2033. The primary growth drivers include evolving consumer preferences, continuous product innovation, and the increasing popularity of craft and premium beer variants. As per our latest findings, the beer industry is undergoing transformative changes, with both established breweries and new entrants leveraging technological advancements and shifting distribution strategies to capture emerging opportunities worldwide.

The growth trajectory of the global beer market is significantly influenced by changing consumer demographics and preferences. Younger consumers, particularly in emerging economies, are exhibiting a growing inclination toward flavored and low-alcohol beer options. This shift is attributed to increased health consciousness and the desire for novel drinking experiences. Additionally, the premiumization trend is gaining momentum, as consumers are willing to pay more for high-quality, artisanal, and craft beers. This has led to a proliferation of microbreweries and craft beer brands, which are reshaping the competitive landscape and driving overall market expansion. Furthermore, the adoption of innovative brewing techniques and the introduction of unique flavors are attracting new customer segments, thereby fueling market growth.

Another critical growth factor is the expansion of distribution channels, both online and offline, making beer more accessible to a diverse customer base. The rise of e-commerce platforms and digital retailing has enabled breweries to reach consumers directly, bypassing traditional intermediaries and enhancing brand loyalty. On-trade channels, such as bars, pubs, and restaurants, continue to play a pivotal role in promoting experiential consumption, especially in urban centers. Meanwhile, off-trade channels, including supermarkets and convenience stores, are witnessing increased sales due to changing shopping habits and the convenience they offer. The integration of advanced logistics and cold chain solutions is further ensuring product quality and extending market reach.

Sustainability and environmental concerns are also shaping the future of the beer market. Breweries are increasingly investing in eco-friendly production processes, recyclable packaging, and water conservation initiatives. These efforts are not only helping companies meet regulatory requirements but also resonating with environmentally conscious consumers. Moreover, strategic collaborations between breweries and agricultural producers are fostering the development of sustainable supply chains, which is essential for long-term growth. The adoption of renewable energy sources and waste management technologies is further enhancing operational efficiency and reducing the overall carbon footprint of the industry.

Regionally, Asia Pacific stands out as the fastest-growing market, driven by rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and a burgeoning middle class. China and India, in particular, are witnessing significant increases in beer consumption, supported by favorable government policies and the entry of international brands. North America and Europe continue to dominate in terms of market share, owing to their well-established beer cultures and high per capita consumption rates. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are also emerging as promising markets, fueled by demographic shifts and increasing acceptance of alcoholic beverages. However, regional dynamics vary, with local preferences and regulatory frameworks influencing market performance and growth prospects.

The global sports nutrition bar market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing health consciousness, rising fitness trends, and the expanding popularity of convenient, on-the-go nutrition solutions. The market, valued at approximately $15 billion in 2025, is projected to exhibit a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7% from 2025 to 2033. This growth is fueled by several key factors. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes is driving consumer demand for healthier snack alternatives. Furthermore, the rise in participation in athletic activities, including both professional and amateur sports, is significantly boosting the consumption of sports nutrition bars. The market is segmented by product type (cereal bars, nut bars, protein bars) and distribution channels (online and offline sales). The protein bar segment currently dominates due to its high protein content catering to the needs of fitness enthusiasts and athletes. Online sales are experiencing rapid growth, leveraging e-commerce platforms and direct-to-consumer marketing strategies to reach a wider customer base. However, the market faces challenges such as increasing raw material costs and growing consumer concerns regarding added sugars and artificial ingredients. Nevertheless, the continued innovation in product formulation, offering more natural and functional ingredients, is expected to mitigate these challenges and further propel market growth. The competitive landscape is marked by a mix of established multinational players and emerging niche brands. Major players like Clif Bar, Kind Snacks, and General Mills are investing heavily in research and development to introduce innovative products catering to specific dietary needs and preferences. Smaller companies, focusing on specialized formulations and direct-to-consumer models, are gaining traction, driven by their ability to quickly respond to evolving consumer trends. Regional variations exist, with North America and Europe currently dominating the market, owing to high per capita consumption and advanced fitness culture. However, emerging markets in Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa are showing significant growth potential, driven by rising disposable incomes and increasing awareness of health and fitness. The forecast period will witness continued growth driven by product innovation, expanding distribution channels, and growth in target markets, positioning the sports nutrition bar market for considerable expansion in the coming years.

Hard Cider Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global hard cider market size reached USD 16.2 billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 6.8% from 2025 to 2033, with the projected market size estimated to reach USD 31.1 billion by the end of 2033. This growth is primarily driven by evolving consumer preferences, increased demand for craft beverages, and the rising popularity of low-alcohol alternatives across key regions. The hard cider industry is experiencing significant momentum as brands innovate with new flavors and packaging formats to capture a diverse and expanding customer base.

One of the most significant growth factors for the hard cider market is the shift in consumer behavior toward healthier and more natural alcoholic beverages. Modern consumers, particularly Millennials and Generation Z, are increasingly seeking products with clean labels, lower alcohol content, and unique flavor profiles. Hard cider, made from fermented fruit juices, is perceived as a more natural and gluten-free alternative to traditional beers and spirits. This trend is further reinforced by the growing awareness of food and beverage ingredients, with consumers gravitating toward options that align with their wellness goals. As a result, hard cider brands are innovating with organic, low-sugar, and preservative-free variants, which are gaining traction in both mature and emerging markets.

Another critical driver of the hard cider market is the surge in craft and artisanal beverage trends. The proliferation of microbreweries, craft cideries, and local producers has introduced a wide array of hard cider offerings, catering to diverse palates. These craft producers often emphasize small-batch production, unique fruit blends, and locally sourced ingredients, which resonate with consumers seeking authenticity and novelty. This craft movement is particularly strong in North America and Europe, where consumers prefer premium and regionally distinctive products. The rise of experiential consumption, such as cider tastings and cider-focused events, further bolsters market growth by enhancing consumer engagement and brand loyalty.

The expansion of distribution channels has also played a pivotal role in the growth of the hard cider market. The availability of hard cider across on-trade (bars, pubs, restaurants), off-trade (supermarkets, convenience stores), and online retail platforms has made it more accessible to a broader audience. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of online retail and direct-to-consumer sales, allowing brands to reach customers beyond traditional brick-and-mortar outlets. Enhanced packaging solutions like cans and kegs have also contributed to the portability and convenience of hard cider, making it an attractive option for social gatherings and outdoor consumption. As distribution networks become more sophisticated, hard cider brands can capitalize on emerging opportunities in untapped markets.

From a regional perspective, Europe dominates the global hard cider market, accounting for the largest share due to its deep-rooted cider-making traditions and high per capita consumption in countries like the United Kingdom, Spain, and France. North America is witnessing rapid growth, fueled by the craft beverage movement and increasing consumer interest in innovative flavors. The Asia Pacific region, while still nascent, presents immense potential as urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and changing lifestyles drive demand for premium alcoholic beverages. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are gradually emerging as new frontiers for hard cider, supported by expanding distribution networks and growing consumer awareness.

Product Type Analysis

The hard cider market is segmented by product type into apple, pear, mixed fruit, and others. The apple cider segment holds the largest market share, owing to its historical significance and widespread consumer acceptance. Apple-based hard ciders are deeply entrenched in the cultural

The Fine Dining Restaurants industry weathered the turbulence of the COVID-19 pandemic to return to strong growth. The industry is characterized by high-end dining establishments. As a result, growth in per capita disposable income, consumer confidence and spending and the prevalence of households earning more than $100,000 in annual income has benefited the industry, enabling consumers to opt for premium dining experiences. Nevertheless, restaurants were forced to curtail dine-in operations when the COVID-19 struck, reducing demand for fine-dining restaurants as services at these establishments involve a high degree of in-person experience. Overall, industry revenue is forecast to increase at a CAGR of 2.7% to $16.7 billion over the five years to 2024. The industry rapid recovery since the peak of COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns has stemmed from the strong increase in households that generate annual income above $100,000, as these consumers can typically afford the premium prices charged by fine dining restaurants. The number of households within this income bracket has expanded since 2021, giving fine dining restaurants a broader base for a key consumer market segment. In 2024, the industry will continue growing, with revenue projected to rise 2.4%. The restaurant industry will be defined by intense competition moving forward, especially as purchase costs are pressured by rising prices created in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Restaurants will seek to adjust, altering menus in light of pricing pressures and adjusting to changing consumer trends. Ultimately, fine dining restaurants will benefit from the continued expansion of consumer incomes, especially of households earning more than $100,000 in annual income.

However, as consumer demand for healthier, low-calorie alcoholic beverages started swelling, so did the industry's potential for growth. With this boost in demand, production and revenue have gone up over the past few years. An accompanying spike in per capita expenditure on alcohol paints a promising picture for the industry's future. This discretionary spending boost has come from individuals' swelling income levels, allowing consumers to splurge more on their preferred alcoholic beverages.Moreover, the expansion of the hard seltzer industry has also been influenced heavily by the boosted demand from bars and nightclubs. The inclusion of hard seltzer in their menus has proven beneficial for these establishments, providing a refreshing, lighter alternative to traditional alcoholic beverages. The growing social acceptance and popularity of hard seltzers have been instrumental for bars and nightclubs, helping them attract a larger crowd, especially among health-conscious millennials and Gen Z consumers.Looking forward, the hard seltzer production industry is poised for steady growth on the back of these favorable factors. Manufacturers' efforts to innovate and introduce new flavors, coupled with strategic marketing initiatives, will likely further fuel this growing demand. As the shift towards healthier and low-calorie alcohol options gathers more steam, so too will the growth opportunities for this industry. Perhaps, it won't be surprising to note that hard seltzers may soon give traditional beers and spirits stiff competition, marking a noteworthy shift in alcohol consumption trends. Specifically, revenue for hard seltzer producers will inch up at an estimated CAGR of 0.6% through the end of 2029 to reach $2.6 billion in 2029.
