Alcohol Ingredients Market Dynamics

Increasing demand for craft beer

The increasing socializing trends, especially among the millennials have increased the visits to the taprooms and brewpubs. This has also led to an increase in the development of small and independent breweries. Thus, breweries are improving beer production to cater to the surging demand of consumers. According to the Brewers Association, small and independent brewers in the U.S produced 26.3 million barrels of beer in 2019, with a volume growth of 4% than the prior year. The craft production in 2019 accounted for 25.2% of the beer retail market in the U.S, which has supported the overall market growth. Moreover, increasing number of clubs, pubs, and breweries has also been boosting the market significantly. Over the past few years, the number of pubs and bars have increased on a global level. From 2014 to 2016, pubs and bars grew by 23.5%. These places have become a common platform for socializing, especially among the millennials. From 2013 to 2016, the number of Pubs, Bars, and Liquor-Serving Cafes and Lounges (PBCL) outlets increased from around 5,300 to 6,700 in India.

With brands such as Coca Cola moving into alcohol space with the launch of flavored alco-pop and premium mixers, market players are focusing on leveraging fruits and vegetable ingredients. A shift away from more conventional drinks to alcoholic soft drinks and malt beverages among consumers looking for beverages with that are lower in alcohol, sugar, and calories is promising new growth opportunities for the key players in the alcohol ingredients market.

However, owing to the stringent government regulations on the consumption as well as on the trade of alcohol and rise in the cost of raw materials are the major factors restraining the market growth. In addition, various anti-alcohol campaigns are expected to remain major restraints for the industry. Over the past few years, these campaigns have increased the health-consciousness in consumers. Moreover, increased amount of taxation and government regulation about the alcohol industry are expected to limit the manufacturing output, which, in turn, will limit the scope of market growth in near future.
