Airport Duty-free Liquor Industry Overview

The global airport duty-free liquor market size was valued at USD 6.15 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4% from 2022 to 2028. 

The market growth can be credited to the rising number of travelers at airports. At the airport, the liquors are excluded from government taxes and duties, so the passengers prefer to buy them at economical rates. Additionally, the travelers before leaving for their home countries choose to spend their surplus foreign currency to buy liquor from duty-free shops. All these factors are expected to boost market growth over the forecast period.

Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a decline in international travel, consequently leading to a negative impact on industry growth. With the ongoing lockdown, the travel market is provisionally on hold, and therefore the sales in the duty-free shops at the airports have partially stopped, thus hindering the growth of the market. The supply chain of the market was slightly disrupted during the Covid-19 era. The distribution channels in airports such as liquor stores, grocery shops, and supermarkets were hampered due to the lockdown imposed by several governments across the globe.

Moreover, government regulations play an integral part in the growth of the market. Various nations have their own regulations and rules for duty-free shops. For instance, the Indian government allows international travelers to buy two liters or two bottles of alcohol. Additionally, airport duty-free shops are favorite spots for buying things for some people before traveling abroad. This is owing to the exclusions of local import duties or taxes by the local governing bodies.

Additionally, the growing consumption of premium alcoholic drinks at the airport from developed economies such as the U.S. and the U.K. is expected to contribute to the market growth over the forecast period. The growing demand for beer, wine, and dark spirits is enhancing the sales of alcoholic beverages at airport premises. Moreover, the rising popularity of lounges, bars, and restaurants in the tourism sector is anticipated to boost the market growth over the forecast period.

The rising demand for the striking flavors of beers to aid the digestive system is the key factor motivating the industry's growth. Along with that, the rising demand for artisanal spirits in emerging economies such as China and India is anticipated to boost market growth. Growing demand to procure value-added hard seltzer products at an affordable cost is expected to present a growth opportunity for the market. However, the rising inclination to consume non-alcoholic beverages is hindering market growth.

Increasing investment from the U.K-based primary players to procure high-quality Scotch whisky products is refueling the market growth. The key players are acquiring superior quality cider, perry, and rice wine. Promptly growing demand for lower calorie-based beer supplements from U.S. consumers is driving the alcoholic industry, which is further propelling the market growth.
