Scotch Whisky Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increased number of marketing and advertising campaigns is notably driving the scotch whisky market growth, although factors such as increasing competition from other alcoholic beverages may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the scotch whisky industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help deduce end goals and refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Scotch Whisky Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the scotch whisky market is the increased number of marketing and advertising campaigns. One of the major growth drivers for the global scotch whiskey market is the rising number of marketing and advertising campaigns by players to increase the visibility of products and awareness among consumers about the brands available in the market. Investment in advertising and marketing campaigns by players is increasing and is expected to help the market grow during the forecast period. For instance, Diageo Plc (Diageo) increased its marketing expenditure to about $2.64 billion in 2019, an increase of about 8% compared with that in 2018. Marketing expenditure by other players is also increasing and is expected to drive the growth of the global scotch whiskey market during the forecast period.
Key Scotch Whisky Market Trend
The increasing demand for Irish whiskey and American bourbon is another factor supporting the scotch whisky market share growth. Irish whiskey is the fastest-growing spirit category globally, and the increasing demand for Irish whiskey and American bourbon is expected to help the growth of the global whiskey market during the forecast period. Its sweet and smooth taste, competitive pricing, investments by major brands, and increase in the demand among young, first-timers, and female whiskey consumers are some of the factors that will drive the demand for Irish whiskey. The demand for American Bourbon whiskey, Tennessee whiskey, and rye whiskey has helped increase the overall sales of spirits. To meet the growing demand for American Bourbon, players are increasing their production capacities, and also new distilleries have been set up.
Key Scotch Whisky Market Challenge
The increasing competition from other alcoholic beverages will be a major challenge for the scotch whisky market during the forecast period. The increasing demand for other spirits, such as mezcal, vodka, rum, and tequila, in the US and other American countries, is affecting the sales of whiskey. In APAC, China is the largest market for alcoholic beverages. Most Chinese consumers prefer to consume beer over spirits, which will further affect the growth of the whiskey market negatively. India is the largest market for whiskey globally, and the increasing demand for other alcoholic drinks is affecting the sales of scotch whiskey products in India. Therefore, it has become important for the manufacturers of scotch whiskey to focus on innovative marketing strategies, better product development, and new strategies to build a customer base to sustain and grow in the highly competitive global scotch whiskey market.
