The global dark spirit market is anticipated to grow with an impressive CAGR during the forecast period. Dark spirits are distilled alcoholic beverages that stay properly in closed barrels to develop a darker appearance. Rum, brandy, cognac, bourbon, scotch whiskey, and wine are a few of the popular dark spirits. They are made in distilleries by fermenting barley, corn, wheat, grapes, and sugarcane molasses. The spirits' taste and appearance are improved by using recycled barrels with charred interiors. To enhance the fermentation process, dark spirits are also treated with congeners. Consuming dark spirits in moderation can help manage pain, boost bone mineral density, fend off the common cold and peripheral artery diseases, and keep body temperatures warm.
Rising consumer purchasing power, increased awareness of the potential health benefits of rum consumption, and rising demand for premium alcoholic beverages, including dark spirit cocktails, are all expected to support the growth of the global market. However, several adverse effects like indigestion, diarrhea, and vomiting linked to excessive rum consumption are anticipated to influence the market expansion.
Rising Preferences for Dark Spirits Among Consumers Fuels the Market Growth
The rising popularity of dark spirits among consumers is the main factor driving the global market. Market participants have observed increased demand over the past few years for alcoholic beverages like cognac, whiskey, and scotch. In addition, bar owners are introducing dark spirit-based cocktails made with sparkling water and exotic fruit juices as customers are more open to experimenting with new combinations. Additionally, these drinks are employed as flavor enhancers.
Increasing E-Commerce Adoption and Creative Marketing Approaches Drives the Market Growth
The availability of online alcohol delivery services is a factor that stimulates the growth of the dark spirit market globally. To raise consumer brand awareness, brands and retailers participate in online promotional campaigns via social media platforms. For instance, Rémy Cointreau is a France-based family-owned business group that offers its products on its e-commerce platforms for consumers. Also, Pernod Ricard, a French company best known for its anise-flavored pastis, provides various brands of dark spirits on their e-commerce platforms for consumers. Hence, manufacturers' adoption of e-commerce platforms drives the market's growth worldwide.
Attracting The Health-Conscious Consumers Propels the Market Growth
To satisfy the demand of health-conscious consumers, product manufacturers are also releasing clean-label dark spirits made with organic, GMO-free, additive-free, and naturally sourced ingredients. For instance, The Whiskey Exchange, a UK-based company, launched the Papagayo organic golden rum to attract health-conscious consumers.
