UK Pub Market Report 2018
200+ pages of insights and data on the UK pub market, its competitive landscape, product and price movements, consumer behaviour and factors for future growth
The 2018 edition of the UK Pub Market Report shows that wet-led resurgence is helping reverse pub fortunes and halt pub closures – but is not the panacea for the future success of the pub sector. So where is the next stage of growth going to come from?
Based on thousands of data points, the UK Pub Market Report 2018 drills down on the current state of the UK pub market and its evolution over the next 3 years. This 200-page report offers critical insight into the long-term success of the pub sector, by taking a detailed look into its growth drivers and inhibitors.
Pub brand operators, their suppliers and distributors, as well as financial investors and private equity firms will find answers to critical questions such as:
- Which factors will drive growth in the pub sector in the next 3 years?
- What influences consumers to go to the pub?
- Which food & beverages do they favour?
- Which operators and brands are performing most strongly and why?
- How can pubs compete with supermarket prices?
- How can pubs recruit talented people?
- How are food and drink prices in pubs evolving?
- How is differential pricing being used?
- How is the pub sector forecast to grow over the next 3 years?
- What are alcohol consumption forecasts?

The report also benefits restaurant operators who will better understand which factors are driving growth in the pub sector and how to compete with this channel.
