2020 IMPACT

Compatibility with home drinking key to success in 2020

Up to 2019, whisky enjoyed a decade of consecutive year-on-year growth, supported by the surging demand for highballs – a mix of whisky and carbonated water. Moreover, there was a worldwide boom in Japanese whisky, which caused a shortage of supply and forced manufacturers to limit shipment volumes in order to ensure a sufficient supply for future ageing.

Shochu sees home drinking lead to shift in packaging preferences

In shochu, while on-trade sales declined, consumption shifted to home, boosting off-trade sales. The shift to home consumption led to a preference for convenient packaging.

Players responding to shortage in whisky supply

Suntory Spirits remained the largest player in spirits in 2020. The company played a key role in creating the whisky boom in Japan before the COVID-19 crisis by suggesting the highball, a mix of whisky and soda, as a drinks option.
