This market report extensively covers market segmentation by distribution channel (off trade and on trade), Product (VS, VSOP, and XO), and geography (North America, APAC, Europe, South America, and Middle East and Africa). It also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges. Our report examines historic data from 2017 to 2021, besides analyzing the current market scenario.
VS cognacs consist of Eaux-de-vie aged for a minimum of two years. These are also known as 3 stars or luxury. Some top-rated brands of VS cognac are Hennessey VS, Martell VS, and Courvoisier VS. These have a strong and sometimes very hard woody taste with spice and vanilla flavors that are reminiscent of young wood. The VS cognac does not have that delicate flavor and so is generally consumed with ice or water. The VS cognac, which is usually used in cocktails and mixed drinks, is not very recommended. This segment accounts for the largest share of the global market due to the low price. As they are aged for a less duration compared with VSOP and XO, their price is lower than that of the other two varieties. Therefore, all such factors will drive the growth of the VS segment in the market during the forecast period.
VSOP stands for very superior old pale or very special old pale, based on the brand. This is made from Eaux-de-vie, which is a clear, colorless fruit brandy that is distilled from wine. VSOP is extracted from the grapes grown in the cognac region in France. They have the finest quality. It has a light feel and a fresh citrus taste. It gives a citrus flavor immediately after consumption and a woody flavor after some time. For starters, VSOP cognac is a fine choice because it is mild and it's not overpowering. They are often eaten neat and chilled after meals. The emergence of online distribution platforms, increasing disposable income, and the growing demand for premiumization will increase the demand for VSOP, which will drive the growth of the VSPO segment in the market during the forecast period.

The off trade segment was valued at USD 2.07 billion in 2017. Consumers prefer to purchase their drinks from different liquor shops because of the lower prices offered to them compared with all other on-trade distributional channels. Moreover, people fond of collecting and tasting numerous brands prefer to buy from off-trade channels. Therefore, all such factors will spur the growth of the off-trade segment in the market during the forecast period.
On trade or on-premise distribution channels allow customers to consume their drinks at the place of purchase. Places such as restaurants, bars, pubs, and hotels are included in this segment. Due to relatively strong prices, the growth of this segment has slowed down as opposed to that of Off Trade channels. The rising number of new restaurants as well as people who eat outside their homes is another factor that underpins this segment's estimated growth. Specific dishes and recipes sold in fine-dine restaurants are frequently opted for by consumers preferring these products. Along with that, the demand for various cocktails and alcoholic beverages is adding to the growth of the channel.
