The global alcoholic beverages market was valued at $1,439 billion in 2017, and is expected to reach $1,684 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 2.0% from 2018 to 2025. Most cultures across the globe have traditionally consumed various types of alcoholic beverages; however, local specialty alcoholic beverages account for the majority share. Only a small number have evolved into commodities that are produced commercially on a large scale. On a global level, beer from barley, wine from grapes, and other distilled beverages are sold as commodities. The pricing of these beverages is determined by the costs of production and the duties levied on those costs. The effects of prices as measured with price elasticities differ across countries and in different time periods.
The growth of the global alcoholic beverages market is driven by increase in global young‐adult demographic, surge in disposable income, and rise in consumer demand for premium/super premium products. However, high cost of premium/super premium products and escalation of nonalcoholic beverages market, owing to increase in health concerns are expected to restrict the market growth in the near future. Furthermore, recent developments in honey-derived products appear to be a viable alternative to produce innovative alcoholic drinks for the consumers and to drive the future growth of this market
