MARKET DRIVERS

Premiumization is one of the most critical factors driving the growth of the alcoholic beverage industry around the world.

The growing popularity of mixed drinks and crafted cocktails drives demand for premium cocktails. Pre-mixed and fresh cocktail manufacturers are shifting from using artificial colors and flavors to emphasizing high-quality ingredients to the natural appeal of drinks. Gin is famous for its natural flavor and earthy appeal, and most commercial counters use large amounts of gin in their premium drinks, contributing significantly to the global premium gin market growth. For Instance, In May 2023, Empress 1908 Indigo Gin launched Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin. This unique gin is handcrafted and distilled with nine unique botanicals.

The growing number of pubs and restaurants worldwide is enhancing the market share of premium gin, shifting consumer preferences, and rising demand from emerging economies, all boosting the expansion of global market revenue. The rising alcohol consumption worldwide and the adoption of the urbanization trend are accelerating the demand for premium alcohol products, which is multiplying the market share globally. The presence of the most significant number of distilleries in developed countries like the U.K. and increased innovation are expected to propel global market growth opportunities. The manufacturers focus on developing innovative and unique locally sourced flavors, gaining consumers' traction and leading to brand ket size expansion. According to research by the University of Derby, United Kingdom, 57% of gin women increased their gin consumption over the past two years.

The growing influence of online commerce is one of the significant trends in the premium gin market and is set to drive market growth further. The global rise of e-commerce has paved the way for gin companies to improve their profitability. This is mainly due to the high customer preference for online shopping, which is mainly due to the convenience of card payments and the elimination of time-consuming travel and billing queues. This trend has forced manufacturers to focus on Internet-savvy customer segments and develop new online retail formats. The e-commerce has supported the market players in expanding their companies through geographical reach.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

As consumers have become more aware of their health, food, and drink in recent years, the paradigm shift in their lifestyles has progressed.

The adverse effects caused by alcohol consumption are the major factor restraining the global market revenue. The government standards and stringent rules regarding the limitation of alcohol consumption are expected to limit the expansion of the premium gin market. According to the Federal Uniform Drinking Age Act of 1984, the legal drinking age in the United States is 21. The high costs associated with premium alcohol will restrict access to all consumers, as these premium gins undergo meticulous production processes and various distillation methods, which increase the product's price, hindering the global market growth.

The adverse effects of alcohol consumption are influencing people to limit intake, which may negatively affect the market expansion. According to the IWSR Drinks Market Analysis Report 2022, about 52% of the U.S. adult population is trying to reduce alcohol consumption. As a result, consumers are shifting their preference from high-alcohol (ABV) spirits such as vodka, gin, and others to low-alcoholic beverages. The IWSR further reveals that the volume of low/non-alcoholic spirits has increased by 32.7%. The presence of high competition in the market and the availability of other premium alcoholic products and alcoholic beverages will impede the global market expansion rate.
