India's Premium Liquor and Champagne Markets Grow Amid Global Slowdown and Proposed Duty Cuts
India's premium liquor market is growing despite a global slowdown, with premium and super-premium segments expanding by about 9% in volume and 12% in value in 2025. This growth contrasts with a 2% global volume decline and 4% value drop. Additionally, India's champagne market is recovering to pre-pandemic levels, supported by rising demand and potential duty cuts under the proposed India-EU free trade agreement, which could lower prices and boost consumption further.
