Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on North America RTD Cocktails Market Growth
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected economies and industries due to lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns. Production plants in the food & beverages industry were closed in the initial phases of the pandemic to curb the spread of the virus. The shutdown of the plants for a short span of time disturbed the supply chains, manufacturing, delivery schedules, and sales of goods. As a result, in 2020, various companies announced delays in product deliveries and a slump in future sales of their products.
The trends for RTD alcoholic beverage consumption changed drastically because of the COVID-19 pandemic. People were mandated to stay home due to strict lockdowns. The corporate sector also announced work-from-home mandates. The bars and café visits of people decreased as the food service sector remained shut. Owing to all these factors, people preferred in-home consumption of alcoholic beverages. This increased the demand for RTD alcoholic beverages such as RTD cocktails and hard seltzers during the pandemic. For instance, according to the National Centre of Biotechnology Information (NCBI), between March 1 and April 18, 2020, there were significant increases in RTD alcohol sales in the US.
