Drivers for market growth and opportunities

Consumer preferences and culture are changing, which indicates that the alcoholic beverages industry is entering a new era. The younger generation is trying out different flavours and premium products, and an older population finds itself looking for beverages that fit more with health-oriented lifestyles. Diversity of cultures around the world, changes in regulatory structures, and the growth of e-commerce have all served to broaden the scope of the market. Furthermore, rise in disposable income, also an increased focus on responsible drinking/moderation contribute to the driving change within the industry. ​

Segmentation Analysis

The market for alcoholic beverages is classified into type, distribution channel, and geographical region. ​

By Type:

Beer: Beer continues to dominate the alcohol beverage sector with numerous styles between mass-produced lagers to craft ales. And it will only evolve from here with new flavors, and brewing techniques introduced throughout the segment. ​

Wine: This includes red, white, rosé and sparkling wine. This has led to an increasing interest in organic and biodynamic wines — wines made with minimal chemical and technological interventions. ​

Spirits: Also known as distilled beverages, this includes vodka, whiskey, rum, gin, and tequila. This trend is even more pronounced among quality-conscious premium and aged spirits consumers. ​

By Distribution Channel:

On-Trade: This channel includes places such as bars, restaurants, and hotels where consumers drink the beverage indoors. On-trade has been impacted by world events that affect social interaction, but its revival with reopening of social events has made a comeback. ​

Off-Trade: Off-trade comprises of retail outlets like supermarket, hypermarket, specialty stores, and online where beverages are bought for off consumption. It's convenient, but it also gives us many options, and this has only caused a huge increase in this channel. ​

Regional Analysis

United States: The U.S. is a huge market with a solid craft beer base and increasing demand for premium spirits. There is a growing thirst for different styles of drinking among consumers that is not just reflected in drinking beer only, but also other low-alcohol and non-alcohol beverages as health and moderation is becoming a focus for more. ​

United Kingdom: Rising gin popularity has created a burst in craft distilleries in the U.K. Coupled with an evolution in attitudes towards alcohol consumption, there is also a significant movement towards low and no-alcohol drinks. ​

China — The Chinese alcoholic beverages market is growing, with a burgeoning middle class that is interested in fine wines and imported spirits. But recently, that growth seems to be flagging in some areas (in beer, for example, in the premium segment), as the economy shows more signs of contraction. ​The Times

India: Whiskey, in particular, shows strong growth trends in spirits consumption in India. In urban areas, forward-looking lifestyles are moving more and more to wine and (beer) against beer. ​

Germany: Germany has a solid beer market and a deep brewing tradition. And nobody can ignore the fact that craft beers and alcohol-free variants are in high demand by health-conscious consumers as well as those who like to have more options. ​
