Alcoholic Drinks in Norway
Description
In 2024, volume sales of alcoholic drinks in Norway declined, with beer, wine, and spirits all experiencing a total volume fall. These results were largely driven by rising prices, increased tax-free purchases, and a growing consumer shift towards lower-ABV alternatives. Broader economic pressures and continued cross-border trade also contributed to the overall volume decline.
