WINE MARKET IN INDIA

Wines as undistilled alco beverage contribute close to 13% to pure alcohol consumption globally but In India the contribution is approximately 0.1%

Consumption of wine is India is limited but it’s one of the emerging alco- beverage category in India. Growing awareness of perceived health benefits of wines underpinned by income growth and changing profile of consumers is driving growth in wine category.
However, supply and demand side constraints have limited the growth of Indian wine market. India being a price conscious market and alco beverages sale primarily driven by consumption to get a high are demand side factors for low sale of wines in India.
Supply side constrains include weather conditions limiting production of wines and high tariff as well as treatment at par with other alco beverages with stringent regulatory norms. Non-native markets in Asia including China, Japan and South Korea have developed into large markets for wines driven by imported wines. However, uniform tariff structure for all alco-beverages in India has limited the growth of imported wines in India.
Domestic wine manufacturers have invested in the value chain including upstream and downstream operations to leverage growing acceptance of wines in the premium and luxury segment in metro cities in India. Mega and mini metros including Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, and Pune are the major consumption centres for wines in India.
