In 2023, the gross investment in the retail sale of beverages in specialized stores in Italy was 15.3 million euros. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a gradual decrease in investment, with values declining from 15.1 million euros in 2024 to 14.4 million euros in 2028. The year-on-year variations show slight declines annually, with the largest decrease occurring between 2027 and 2028 at approximately 1.37%. Over the five-year forecast period, a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reveals an average annual decline of around 1.22%.
Looking ahead, retailers should monitor several trends that could impact future investments:
- Changing consumer preferences towards healthier and non-alcoholic beverages
- Increasing competition from e-commerce and digital channels
- Rising production and operational costs due to inflationary pressures
- Potential regulatory impacts on the sale of certain beverage types
