Beer and wine sales in Canada fall to an all-time low

3/6/2023

Beer and wine sales in Canada fall to an all-time low, per BBC.

From 2021-22, volume of beer sold per person in Canada slumped drastically. The volume in wine sales slid by its largest margin since 1949.

Although overall alcohol sales based on volume decreased, total sales were up 2.4% because of rising costs driven by inflation.

The data show sales of beer by volume, per person, have fallen steadily in Canada since the 1970s and remain at an all-time low. Beer's market share in Canada has also fallen 8.8 percentage points in 10 years.

The total value of beer sales fell for a third straight year, dropping 0.7 per cent to $9.1 billion.

The StatCan report also includes data on legal cannabis sales, which were $4 billion or $131 per person of legal age, with governments earning $1.6 billion. The report did not include year-over-year changes for cannabis sales.
