Ethiopia Alcoholic Beverages Market 2025

Between 2025 and 2030, Ethiopia’s alcoholic beverages market is projected to expand from USD 3.8 billion to USD 5.8 billion, marking a compound annual growth rate of 8.69%. This growth trajectory is underpinned by structural demographic drivers, including steady population expansion and accelerating urbanization, which are expected to sustain baseline demand for alcoholic products over the forecast period.

However, the market faces mounting macroeconomic headwinds that are likely to temper the pace of consumption. Persistently high inflation, combined with rising excise taxes and declining household purchasing power, continues to erode real incomes and constrain discretionary spending. While overall demand may remain resilient, a notable shift in consumer behavior is underway: price-conscious consumers are gravitating toward lower-cost alcoholic options and more affordable on-premise venues.

As a result, value-driven segments within the alcohol category are poised to outperform, while premium products may struggle to gain traction amid growing economic strain. The market’s performance over the next five years will hinge on its ability to navigate these opposing forces—balancing long-term demographic support against the realities of near-term financial pressure.
