Global Spirits Market: The way ahead

Spirits are the second-most important segment in the global alcoholic drinks market by value. The segment only includes distilled alcoholic beverages (including blended or mixed beverages), whereas strong alcoholic drinks gained by fermentation are part of the Cider, Perry and Rice Wine segment and non-alcoholic variants (mocktails) are out of scope. The global market for spirits has been mostly driven by premiumisation as volume demand has been mostly flat or falling in developed markets.
