Content of the study:MARKET SUMMARY
1.1 Presentation
A spirit drink is an alcoholic beverage obtained from distillation, maceration, and infusion. Among spirits, it is then necessary to distinguish between two broader segments:
- "simple" spirits or "eaux-de-vie" (this category includes vodka, gin, whisky, tequila, etc.)
- "compound" spirits obtained by adding an aromatic substance to an eau-de-vie or neutral alcohol. [spiritieux]
The global spirits market is growing at moderate pace, driven mainly by demand from the Asia-Pacific market.
On the other hand, the French market is shrinking; volume sales are decreasing as a result of societal perceptions about the negative effects of alcohol. However, value sales are increasing driven by higer prices and demand on premium products. The French market continues to be heavily reliant on exports, and whisky is the dominant beverage of choice in France.
Moreover, the French market is organised around two main types of players: on the one hand we find major international groups (specialized or not) in the production of spirits. On the other hand, many small and medium producers or local distilleries which are specialized in one type of alcohol; this type of production is increasingly sought after in France.
