Global Dark Spirits Market to Reach US$ 149.6 Billion by 2032, Impelled by Rising Preference for Premium Products

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Dark Spirits Market Report by Type (Whiskey, Rum, Brandy), Distribution Channel (On Trade, Off Trade), Application (Bars, Restaurants, Pubs, and Others), and Region 2024-2032," the global dark spirits market reached a value of US$ 95.2 Billion in 2023. Dark spirits refer to liquors that undergo an aging process ranging from a few months to several years. They consist of drinks such as whiskey, rum or brandy and are stored in new, recycled or charred barrels to provide color and depth of taste. As opposed to light spirits, which include clear alcoholic beverages like vodka, gin and white wine, dark liquors have higher concentrations of congeners, organic substances produced during the fermentation process. Some of these congeners are known to protect the stomach lining and offer antioxidant properties.

Global Dark Spirits Market Trends:

The global market is primarily being driven by the growing preference for dark spirits among consumers. Market players have witnessed an uptick in demand for liquors like cognac, whiskey, and scotch over the past few years. Apart from this, as consumers are willing to try new blends, bar owners are expanding their offerings and including dark spirit-based cocktails made with sparkling water and exotic fruit juices. These drinks are also being used as flavor enhancers. In addition, with growing disposable incomes and expanding working population, individuals are also preferring premium products that offer an authentic experience. This is further supported by the rising number of bars, pubs, and breweries providing easy access to alcoholic beverages. Furthermore, the availability of dark spirits via online retail channels and home delivery services has driven product sales during the COVID-19 pandemic. Other factors, such as rising urbanization, elevating demand for low and non-alcoholic product variants, and expanding middle class, are further expected to influence the market growth. Looking forward, the market is anticipated to reach a value of US$ 149.6 Billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 4.99% during 2024-2032.
