Alcohol Industry Analysis in India is poised for substantial growth, with a projected valuation of US$ 112,338.9 million by 2034, marking a significant rise from US$ 55,840.0 million in 2024.
During the study period, the Indian alcohol market expanded due to increased urbanisation, population expansion (especially in metropolitan areas), and rising disposable income. During this time, bar and cocktail culture extended across major cities, as did the country’s demand for alcoholic beverages. The Indian alcohol market is predicted to expand in the next years, driven by rising whisky consumption, particularly among urban consumers.
The Indian alcohol market is rapidly developing because to changing customer preferences, a growing middle class, and increased cultural acceptance. In this unpredictable environment, the rising demand for premium spirits and artisanal beverages reflects the country’s changing drinking habits and economic status.
Due to shifting customer preferences, an increase in the middle class’ population, and a rise in societal acceptance, the India alcohol market is rising at an astounding rate. Premium spirits and craft beverages are in high demand, reflecting the nation’s changing drinking culture and economic growth, in this dynamic environment.
The country’s changing demographics will accelerate the expansion of the target market even further. Between the ages of 18 and 25, a large share of the population is in this bracket. Furthermore, the country’s median age is thought to be around 27 years. These demographics are expected to support the expansion of the Indian alcohol market, despite the fact that the legal drinking age varies by state in India. Furthermore, higher expenditure on various lifestyle, food, and beverage items, including alcohol, will almost likely be a consequence of rising per capita disposable income. Again, there has been a major change in Indian lifestyle in recent years, especially among the urban population. With pub and cocktail culture being widely adopted, the future of the Indian alcohol sector is bright.
Though the IMFL segment leads market growth, beer, country liquor, and wine segments follow closely after the category and aid the expansion of the Indian alcohol market.
