In 2020, the sales of hard seltzers has increased as compared to that in the year 2019. In 2020, the sales of hard seltzers was high in May due to the warm climate and people relaxing during the lockdown in various countries across the world. Thus, the Covid-19 pandemic has a low impact on the sales of hard seltzers. Extensive marketing campaigning, promotional strategies, product launches, advertisement through social media, and online product delivery by key players has fuelled the market during the Covid-19 crisis. For instance, in 2020, Constellation Brands launched hard seltzer under the name ‘Corona Hard Seltzers’.

As per Growth Market Reports industry analyst Akshay Udavant, “The Global Hard Seltzer Market is anticipated to witness significant growth during forecast period 2021-2027 driven by the high demand for hard seltzer over its alternatives such as beer, whiskey, wine, etc. Moreover, increasing urbanization, changing perception of millennial toward the consumption of alcoholic beverages, and changing consumer preferences in the developing countries are anticipated to drive the growth of the global hard seltzer market. Nowadays, millennial are preferring the consumption of highball drinks and sparkling water instead of beer. Furthermore, low calorie and alcohol content in hard seltzers is boosting product consumption. However, high demand for beer, wine, and spirits, and sparkling-wine is expected to restraint the hard seltzers market during the forecast period.
