About this Report

About this Report

While top line figures for the vast majority of alcoholic drinks categories are pointing in the direction of a sustained rebound, the global economy still teeters precariously on the brink of renewed crisis. Beer, wine and spirits are all posting gains on the back of emerging markets, at the same time that niche categories are scrambling for gains in the mature Western nations. Meanwhile, RTDs are capitalising on the off-trade’s ascent as market polarisation takes further hold.
