Last year, Australians spent a grand total of $14.5 billion on alcohol they purchased from a liquor retailer (as opposed to a bar or other licensed venue). Almost three-quarters of this went to supermarket-affiliated retailers*, with hotel bottle shops and independent stores trailing well behind, the latest Alcohol Retail Currency report from Roy Morgan Research reveals.<\/p>\n

The most striking development was the continued rise of \u2018big box\u2019 powerhouse Dan Murphy\u2019s. The Woolworths\u2019-owned chain accounted for nearly 30% of the total dollars\u2014or $4.3 billion\u2014spent by Australians on alcohol in 2016 (up from 25.4% in 2015). Woolworths\u2019 two other alcohol retailers, Woolworths Liquor and BWS, saw their market share shrink, but Dan Murphy\u2019s growth was robust enough to ensure that, between them, the three Woolworths\u2019-owned retailers have a total dollar market share of just under 50% (49.2%\/$7.1 billion).<\/p>\n

A longer-term view reveals that Woolworths Liquor has been on the slide since at least 2012, while BWS\u2019s recent decline comes after a period of relative stability. Dan Murphy\u2019s has been up and down during this time, but has been increasing steadily since mid-2014.<\/p>\n
