B — Market brief (concise, cited)

Recent developments

• Large brewers/distillers reported mixed FY-2024 / FY-2025 performance — premiumization and travel retail helped some categories while weaker on-trade (bars/restaurants) and slower consumer spending in key markets pressured others; several groups are actively restructuring portfolios and pushing premium & low-/no-alcohol SKUs. 

Drivers

• Premiumisation: consumers trading up to premium spirits and craft/specialty beers and wine (higher price per unit). 

• Recovery of on-trade & travel retail post-pandemic (still cyclical by region).

• New category innovation: RTDs / hard seltzers, craft, and low/no-alcohol products expanding addresses.

Restraints

• Cost pressures (raw materials, energy, freight) and currency headwinds for global players.

• Regulation & excise taxes in many markets (policy changes can rapidly change pricing/volumes).

• Shifting consumer patterns (younger cohorts drinking less or choosing low-alcohol alternatives).

Regional segmentation analysis

• North America: large value market (strong premium spirits and RTD growth). Grand View notes the U.S. remains a major market with strong growth potential in RTDs and premium beer.

• Europe: mature market with big craft & premium segments; strong presence of global players (Heineken, Carlsberg, Diageo, Pernod).

• Asia-Pacific: fastest volume growth in many forecasts — rising middle class, premiumization (whisky/spirits in India & East Asia), plus large domestic brewing/distilling industries.

• Latin America / MEA: mixed — pockets of fast growth, but constrained by affordability and regulation in places.

•  

Emerging trends

• Low-/No-alcohol and functional beverages (sober-curious movement; non-alcoholic beer sales rising strongly in some markets).

• RTD cocktails & canned cocktails (convenience + premium cocktail experience).

• Sustainability & provenance in packaging and sourcing (lightweight packaging, circularity, carbon/ water stewardship).

• Travel-retail and eCommerce growth: D2C and online off-trade channels continue to expand for premium and niche brands.

Top use cases (by product)

• Beer: mass / premium / craft / non-alcoholic variants.

• Spirits: whisky, vodka, rum, tequila, gin (premium & luxury segments).

• Wine: still and sparkling—for on-trade and retail.

• RTDs / hard seltzers & canned cocktails. 

Major challenges

• Regulatory & tax volatility (can quickly change consumption patterns and margins).

• Consumer health trends reducing per-capita alcohol consumption in some cohorts.

• Supply chain shocks & commodity price swings (barley, glass, aluminum, energy).

Attractive opportunities

• Premium & super-premium spirits (high margins, travel retail, gifting).

• Expansion in emerging markets (India, parts of Africa, Southeast Asia) where middle-class growth lifts demand.

• No-/low-alcohol and functional drinks to attract younger, health-focused consumers.

• RTDs and canned cocktails as convenience and premiumization converge.

Key factors of market expansion

• Income growth & urbanisation in emerging markets.

• Innovation (new formats, flavors, and functional claims).

• Channel diversification (on-trade recovery, travel retail, eCommerce/D2C).

• Regulatory landscape (tax/fiscal policy, licensing) — supportive/neutral policy aids expansion; restrictive policy slows it.
