REACH 2026: The Global Playbook for Winning in the On-Premise 

As the global On-Premise adapts to ongoing changes, shifting consumer behaviors and macro-economic challenges, NIQ’s new REACH consumer study delivers the insights behind the demanding and dynamic industry that beverage suppliers need to win around the world.

 


Think Global. Win Local.  

REACH is a comprehensive global study of consumer behaviour across bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues.
Built on insights from 34,500 consumers across 46 markets, REACH delivers a powerful, data-driven view of how people engage with the On-Premise—what they drink, where they go, and why it matters.

Designed for global consistency while capturing local nuance, REACH helps brands benchmarks performance, track evolving trends, and uncover the motivations behind every consumer decision.

From drink choices and social occasions to moderation, health, and cost-of-living pressures, it decodes the full spectrum of modern out-of-home behaviour, so you can stay ahead of change.

Today’s On-Premise landscape is more connected and more complex than ever

Consumer behaviours are shifting rapidly across markets, influenced by everything from economic pressures to wellness trends and social media. At the same time, local nuances remain critical: what drives choice in one country may not translate in another.
REACH bridges this gap.

It empowers beverage manufacturers to:
• Build globally informed strategies grounded in local reality
• Identify high-growth markets, occasions, and channels
• Understand what drives brand choice and trade-up behaviour
• Navigate emerging trends like moderation, accessible luxury, and AI-driven discovery

With REACH, you’re not just reacting to change, you’re anticipating it and acting with precision.
