[WEBINAR] TOAST 2026: Under Pressure - Fewer, Fragmented, Fought-For

The beverage alcohol industry is facing a new reality. Consumers are drinking less often, their needs and motivations are becoming increasingly diverse, and a growing set of alternatives is competing for the same occasions.

In the second addition of TOAST- a Total Overview of Alcohol Sector Trends, Ipsos will explore how these pressures are reshaping the future of beverage alcohol across North America and why many of the assumptions that have historically driven category growth are being challenged.

We'll examine three shifts shaping the future of the category:

• Fewer: In an era of moderation, wellness trends, changing routines, and new priorities, which drinking occasions remain resilient and which are steadily losing relevance.
• Fragmented: Why the "average drinker" is disappearing and how diverging consumer pathways are creating new opportunities and risks.
• Fought-For: How growing competition, from within alcohol and beyond, is intensifying the battle for consumer attention, relevance, and occasion ownership.

Drawing on new findings from Ipsos' Alcohol Consumption Tracker, this webinar will explore a fundamental question facing the industry.
