Moreover, the rising demand for artisanal spirits in developing economies such as China and India is anticipated to boost the growth of the market for alcoholic drinks. Rising demand to procure value-added hard seltzer products at an affordable cost is the upcoming opportunity for the market. However, the rising inclination to consume non-alcoholic beverages is hindering the market growth. At present, key players are focusing to launch cordials and liquors with lower alcoholic content to maintain human health.

During the financial year 2020 - 2021, the coronavirus disease had affected the globe to a larger extent. The supply chain of the market had slightly hindered during the COVID-19 era. The distribution channels such as liquor stores, grocery shops, and supermarkets were hampered due to the lockdown imposed by several governments across the globe. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for beer and dark spirits increased. The key players in the market for alcoholic drinks are evaluating internet retailing from the e-commerce platform to improve the sales statistics of the market. This kind of process was expanding the commercial opportunity of the alcoholic beverages product, which, in turn, can propel market growth.

Growing investment from the U.K.-based prime players to procure high-quality Scotch whisky products is refueling market growth. The major key players are procuring superior quality cider, perry, and rice wine. The rapidly growing demand for lower calorie-based beer supplements from U.S. consumers is further driving industry growth. Moreover, the rising demand to procure value-added hard seltzer products at an affordable cost is an upcoming opportunity for the market. Hence, the market for alcoholic drinks is expected to perform well during the forecast period.

The rising inclination to consume non-alcoholic beverages is hindering market growth. Moreover, to start any new business in the alcoholic drinks industry vendors need to invest a huge amount of capital and resources, and take legal certifications from the government. Therefore, all the above factors may take a huge amount of processing time which is further limiting the growth of the market for alcoholic drinks. In addition, increasing health-conscious consumers are going to restrict the overall market growth during the forecast period. At present, key players are focusing to launch cordials and liquors with lower alcoholic content to maintain human health; this is an ongoing trend to increase the consumer base in the market. Moreover, key players such as the Asahi brand use the strategy of giving beer for every twenty-bottle order by asking liquor stores, known as the "Quarter Strategy", to spread their market share as much as possible.
