Italian beverage and spirits export trends

Overview

The Italian beverage and spirits sector is navigating shifting global consumption patterns and economic challenges. In 2025, Italian spirits exports reached 1.7 billion euros, a 5% decrease from 2024 but significantly higher than 2019 levels. This resilience in the spirits sector has outpaced competitors such as France, the United States, and Mexico during a period of market contraction.

Consumer preferences are also evolving in specific international markets. In the United Kingdom, Mediterranean-style lagers and Pilsners are increasingly displacing traditional Ales. In the United States, while alcoholic exports have faced declines—partly attributed to tariffs—there has been an 11.1% growth in Italian mineral water and non-alcoholic soft drinks, driven by a preference for premium non-alcoholic options.
