Wine Market in Europe 2015-2019

Market overview of the wine market in Europe

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the wine market in Europe to witness a decline at a rate of around 0.62% during the forecast period. The falling production of grapes in Europe is the primary driver for the decline of the market. Adverse weather conditions in the region are affecting the production of grapes, which is the major component of wines. During 2012, Europe witnessed a 62% decline in grape wine production.

The rise in dominance of the US as a wine consumer is also expected to deter the growth of the wine market in Europe. Currently, 39% of the wine consumed is outside Europe, especially in countries such as the US, China, and Argentina.
