What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The Whiskey Warehousing Market?
The increasing demand for alcoholic drinks is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the whiskey warehousing market. Any beverage, except water, carrying more than 1.2% alcohol by volume is constituted as an alcoholic drink. The modern drinking tradition at corporate events, parties, and other social gatherings has led to a surge in the use of whisky due to its taste and texture. Consequently, this rising alcoholic drinks consumption is enhancing the growth of the whiskey warehousing market. For example, data released by Kirin Holdings Co. Ltd., a Japan-based firm dealing with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and pharmaceutical products, revealed in December 2023 that the global beer consumption grew by approximately 5.4 million kiloliters, translating to around 8.5 billion bottles (each 633ml) in 2022, an increase from the previous year. As a result, this uptrend in alcoholic drink consumption is stimulating the whiskey warehousing market's expansion.
