Mumbai | New Delhi: The consumption of liquor at bars and restaurants has now reached pre-Covid levels at about 30% of the overall sales, completely reversing the trend during the pandemic when most people drank at home. The ”on-trade” channel that includes bars, restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, shrank to about 10% of the overall share in 2020 – it”s historically about 27-30% – amid restricted mobility and fewer social gatherings. “On-trade growth is higher because last year in the first quarter in many states or almost all states, there was a clamp down on locations where beer is consumed at the point of sale. So there you see phenomenal growth while the growth in your retail would be less,” PA Poonacha, vice-president, finance at United Breweries, India”s biggest brewer, told investors. But a low base was not the only reason. A combination of factors from price rationalisation in markets including Mumbai, Kolkata and Chandigarh, and revenge dining-out to peak summer season resulted in record sales.
