The growing middle-class population in China is influencing the demand for premium and standard baijiu products. Increasing demand for products that offer a better sense of lifestyle is encouraging the players to focus on the middle-class consumers dur to the growing purchasing power of these middle-class consumers. Our market research analysts have estimated that this market will grow steadily at a CAGR of about 5% by 2021.
Baijiu is also known as sorghum wine. The increasing sales of baijiu is subsequently influencing the demand for sorghum. China depends primarily on sorghum imports to manufacture baijiu and is engaged in large scale imports and domestic production of sorghum.
