India's Alcohol Market Sees Growth Driven by Younger Consumers and Premium BrandsPreviousNext

India's alcoholic beverage market is evolving with younger consumers aged 21-28 increasing their alcohol consumption, particularly favoring premium brands and urban venues. This shift contrasts with older generations, who are reducing intake. Industry leaders like Diageo India highlight the country's potential to become a top global premium alcobev market, driven by rising aspirations, favorable demographics, and changing consumer preferences. The market growth is notable amid global slowdowns, with premium whisky remaining popular.
