Retail store sales of alcoholic beverages have steadily increased year-on-year in Canada. Sales reached a new high of almost 29.98 billion Canadian dollars in 2020, an increase of over 25 percent since 2013.
Canadian alcohol industry
The alcoholic beverages industry in Canada is a highly profitable one. The industry comprises a wide range of product offerings, including wine, spirits, liqueurs, cider, and beer. While beer sales have declined over the years, spirits sales in Canada increased from 4.47 billion Canadian dollars in 2011 to just over six billion Canadian dollars in 2020.
Alcohol consumption in Canada
Alcohol consumption in Canada is relatively widespread and frequent. Nearly half of Canadian consumers reported drinking spirits at least once a month in 2019 and around 18 percent were considered heavy alcohol drinkers in the same year. Due to the coronavirus outbreak and the ensuing lockdown measures, around a fifth of Canadians reported that their alcohol consumption had increased as of April 2020.
