Russia's alcoholic beverages market reached USD 110.8 billion in 2023, and is projected to more than double to USD 247.8 billion by 2030 (CAGR 12.2%).
Growth is driven by rising demand for beer, spirits, wine, cider, and the booming low-/no-alcohol and ready-to-drink (RTD) segments.
At WorldFood Moscow 2024, the Alcoholic Drinks sector featured 42 exhibiting companies and drew interest from over 10% of all visitors — including importers, distributors, retail buyers, and hospitality chains.
As consumer preferences shift toward premium, health-conscious, and locally inspired beverages, Russia’s drinks market is opening new space for innovation, imports, and private label offerings.
