Whiskey Market size surpassed USD 65 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to exhibit over 6.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032.
The surging demand for alcoholic beverages worldwide is expected to have a positive impact on the whiskey industry growth. Over the past few years, alcohol consumption has increased dramatically on account of changing consumer preferences, rapid urbanization, and the increasing purchasing power of the middle-class population. For instance, according to data published by the American Addiction Centers, globally, more than 445 billion liters of wine, beer, and spirits are consumed annually. This scenario has spurred the overall global production and distribution of spirits, such as whiskey. Additionally, favorable government initiatives supporting the establishment of advanced food processing units for boosting the food & beverage production output will empower whiskey manufacturing distilleries across the world.

It had a significant impact on local craft distilleries due to hampered production levels as a result of strict lockdown impositions and social distancing norms, which reduced the demand for alcoholic beverages across restaurants and pubs. As per a study published by the American Distilling Institute (ADI), and the Distilled Spirits Council (DISCUS), craft distillers reported a 41% decline in sales resulting in losses of nearly USD 700 million. However, several economies leading in the space of spirits experienced a promising post-pandemic recovery.
