Switzerland’s alcoholic beverages market is projected to grow from USD 16.7 billion in 2025 to USD 20.4 billion by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate of 4.01%. While this indicates steady value growth, the overall volume of alcohol consumed is expected to decline, reflecting a broader shift in consumer behavior toward more responsible and moderate drinking patterns.
Health consciousness is increasingly shaping consumption decisions, particularly among younger cohorts, who are showing a preference for lighter, more approachable alcoholic beverages. Categories such as low-alcohol wines, hard seltzers, and other sessionable formats continue to gain traction, aligning with evolving lifestyle preferences centered around wellness, functionality, and balance. At the same time, societal tolerance for excessive drinking is waning, contributing to a more restrained and mindful drinking culture.
The market’s value growth is being driven primarily by rising unit prices and a gradual premiumization trend, especially in affluent urban regions. Consumers are opting for quality over quantity, seeking out artisanal, locally sourced, or sustainably produced products that align with their ethical and sensory expectations. This is leading to a dynamic where fewer bottles are sold, but each sale commands higher margins.
As this shift unfolds, producers and retailers are rethinking portfolio strategies to cater to a dual imperative: delivering elevated, experience-led offerings for discerning consumers while ensuring alignment with the growing demand for transparency, wellness, and sustainability. In this evolving landscape, brands that can authentically connect with consumers’ values and offer differentiated, health-aligned propositions will be best positioned to capture value in Switzerland’s maturing alcoholic beverages market.
