The total beverage alcohol (TBA) market is a resilient market with attractive long-term trends. The retail sales value of the total global alcohol market is £865bn in 2021 (IWSR, 2021), which is 5 billion total equivalent units of alcohol sold. The total beverage alcohol market is driven by global middle-class growth. An additional 600mn consumers are expected to come of age by 2032 (World Bank, 2022). Hundreds of millions of new consumers will be able to access premium brands in the coming years choosing "drink better, not more". Spirits penetration remain low - there are only 50% of household purchase spirits every year in the US. However, consumer preferences changed during the pandemic with premium brands getting a higher market share. Premiumisation is a long-term trend, with the highest rice brands growing at more than double the international spirits category growth rate between 2016 and 2021.
