#13 In EuropeConsumer sentiment, disposable income levels and drinking habits impact spending on drinking establishments. Europe is known for its well-established drinking culture, which varies from country to country. Beer and wine consumption are very popular on the continent, with many countries also major producers of these beverages. However, alcohol consumption per capita in Europe is on a downward trend, hindering demand for drinking establishments. The COVID-19 pandemic decimated industry demand in 2020 as establishments shut their doors and tourist numbers plummeted. Industry revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 9.6% to €91.6 billion over the five years through 2024, including a 2.9% drop in 2024.
