India Wines and Spirits Award’s Post

The Indian Alcobev Industry - A Quick Glance India is the third largest alcobev market in the world by volume, closely following the USA and China. While it is currently evaluated at 55 billion dollars this market is expected to grow to 64 billion dollars over the next five years. The Indian alcobev industry claims a lion's share of this market, offering direct and indirect employment to a staggering 79 lakh individuals in India (as per ISWAI). Indian alcobev brands are not just making their presence felt globally, they are winning awards at reputed international competitions, thus earning a strong association with high quality. Continuing its multifaceted growth, the industry is now producing a diverse range of alcoholic beverages and riding up the premiumisation curve, fueled by growing demand for premium liquor among Indian consumers. "In the past decade, the Indian beverage industry has shifted its focus from producing solely in India to creating drinks specifically tailored to the Indian market. Consumers have become more discerning and are now looking for brands with Indian heritage. Over the last two years, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, the focus has shifted to "Made for India" and "Made in India for the world,'' said Mr Kunal Vasudeva, Co-founder & Managing Director, Indian School of Hospitality. 'The top single malt in the world, for the last 3-4 years has been an Indian single malt, and the best-infused gins are also made in India for the world. Furthermore, Bira now exports to the Middle East from India, so 10-15 percent of all "Made in India" products are now also "Made for the World," added Mr Vasudeva. Experts also claim that the entire industry is witnessing a disruption across different segments such as supply chain, cold storage, manufacturing, logistics and consumers.
