Top Players in the Champagne Market

The global champagne market size reached US$ 6.3 Billion in 2023. As per the analysis by the IMARC Group, there has been a significant shift of consuming champagne as a celebratory to casual quaff due to the premiumization of the industry. This, in turn, has prompted manufacturers to incorporate biotechnological approaches, such as the special two-step process, wherein the winemakers ferment the beverage twice by adding yeast and sugar, thereby improving the product quality. Another trend that is being adopted by growers is biodynamic agriculture, which studies the farm and its surrounding land as an ecosystem to determine the optimum ways of controlling pests and getting the best yields. Apart from selling their grapes to major companies, higher-profile producers are also elaborating, marketing, and selling their own distinctive styles of champagne, which is creating a positive outlook for the market. Additionally, the increasing demand for low-calorie product variants has led to the introduction of non-alcoholic champagne in novel flavors, including candy, fruit, and nutty, which is supporting the market growth. Market players are also focusing on branding their products in line with royalties and luxury on a budget, which is gaining popularity amongst the growing middle-class population across the globe. Moreover, rising awareness regarding the effects of climate change on the structure of their champagne has encouraged leading companies to set up research units to conduct experiments as a means to adapt to the evolving production standards of champagne, thereby aiding to achieve a consistent flavor profile. In terms of sales, key players are adopting coordinated tourism strategies to expand business across international borders, which includes well-priced exports of European champagne to restaurants, the hospitality sector, tourist attraction places, and other retailers. This, in turn, is acting as another major growth-inducing factor. Besides this, the advent of modern fermentation techniques and innovations in packaging, such as micro-oxygenation and box packaging, is further helping in increasing the product shelf life and providing ecological benefits, thereby creating lucrative opportunities for the market players. Online retailing of alcohol through on-demand delivery applications, such as Drizly, Uber Eats, and Amazon Prime Now, are also catalyzing the market growth significantly. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 7.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4% during 2024-2032.
