The growth of the alcohol ingredients market is largely being driven by the increasing alcohol consumption. This rise in alcohol usage can be attributed to factors such as escalating stress levels, wider accessibility of alcohol, ennui, and the perceived acceptability of alcohol in society. Ingredients like yeast, enzymes, and colorants are utilized in the production of alcoholic beverages, with ethanol being the common form of alcohol in these beverages. As the rate of alcohol consumption climbs, so does the demand for these ingredients used in alcoholic drinks. For example, Belarus, a small landlocked country in Europe, had the greatest average per-capita consumption of pure alcohol in 2022, according to the American Addiction Centers. Belarusians consumed an average of 14.4 liters annually, exceeding American consumption by more than 1.5 times. Consequently, this trend of expanded alcohol consumption results in an elevated demand for the alcohol ingredient market.
