2025 Developments
Spain’s alcoholic drinks landscape in 2025 was marked by a pronounced divergence between flat total volumes and a notable increase in value sales, which was due to premiumisation and trading up, even as economic headwinds persisted. This environment, while offering limited upside in terms of overall consumption, remains attractive for players that can successfully tap into evolving preferences for quality, innovation, and health-conscious alternatives, especially as younger adult consumers moderate their intake. The market is highly concentrated, with leading companies maintaining strong positions through innovation and portfolio expansion, while the retail environment is shaped by the continued dominance of supermarkets, the ascent of discounters, and the resilience of on-trade channels supported by tourism and cultural traditions.
