Key Trend in the Global Alcoholic Beverages Market

  • Growing Consumer Interest in Premium Alcohol

Besides, growing health concerns among consumers are further instigating the leading market players to introduce products with natural & functional ingredients, which, in turn, would further boost the global market in the years to come.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Global Alcoholic Beverages Market

The advent of Covid-19 in 2020 had a decelerating impact on most industries worldwide, and the Global Alcoholic Beverages Market is no exception. The imposition of lockdown & stringent movement restrictions, which led to the suspension of business operations, bans on public gatherings, closure of bars, hotels, liquor shops, etc., and a substantial decline in product sales, caused significant revenue losses for the leading market players.

Besides, disruptions in the supply chains caused delays in the deliveries of raw materials, pre-produced goods, etc. However, post the first wave of the pandemic, the governments partially uplifted the restrictions, which brought back some fluidity in the market. With this, manufacturers witnessed a temporary upsurge in sales as people began to panic shop & stockpile products, owing to the uncertainty of the crisis.

Moreover, with regulations for alcohol distribution through online channels across some countries, the market witnessed considerable growth amidst the crisis. The leading players made a paradigm shift to digital platforms and offered services like door-step deliveries and an extensive range of alcoholic beverages of different budgets & brands for the customers. It, in turn, led to the dramatic upswing in the global market and generated growth opportunities for the players to increase their production capacities and meet the burgeoning consumer requirements.

Market Segmentation

Based on the Distribution Channel:

  • On-Trade
  • Off-Trade

Amongst both, Off-trade channels are projected to dominate the Global Alcoholic Beverages Market with the largest share through 2027. It owes principally to the swift expansion of the commercial sector, i.e., leading to a growing establishment of cafes, bars & restaurants, & hotels, among others, offering an extensive range of alcoholic beverages at low costs and, in turn, portraying a massive influx of customers.

Besides, the increasing footfall of tourists & migrants across different countries are also driving the sales of alcoholic drinks through off-trade channels and propelling the market growth. Moreover, the easy availability of multiple brands of alcoholic beverages across supermarkets, hypermarkets, specialized stores, etc., which are a primary source of shopping among people, is also positively influencing the market growth. 

On the other hand, On-Trade channels are expected to demonstrate the fastest growth in the global market, principally due to the growing inclination of manufacturers and massive support & encouragement from governments of different countries worldwide toward digital transformation, i.e., enabling the market leaders to sell their products through online platforms and provide easy purchase, discounts, and door-step deliveries to customers.

Moreover, the Covid-19 pandemic has also played a critical role in augmenting the demand for alcoholic beverages across these platforms, and the same trend is likely in the coming years, which, in turn, would create lucrative growth prospects for the global market.
