“Nearly 78% of sales of alcoholic beverages in the US were in open states in 2015, in terms of volume. The open states in the US are those where the state has no control or monopoly over the sales and distribution of alcoholic beverages. The remaining 22% of sales were in closed states where the state governments control the distribution and retailing of alcoholic beverages. Currently, there are 17 closed states in the US, including Montgomery and Worcester counties in Maryland,” said Vijay Sarathi, one of Technavio’s lead analysts for food and beverage research.

“Premium spirit brands are currently in higher demand than lower-priced value brands owing to the lifestyle and luxury associated with them. The presence of some of the best brands in the market such as Kendall-Jackson, Jack Daniels, and Absolut has increased the popularity of premium-quality beers, cognac, vodka, whiskey, and wine. The trend of premiumization across product categories will continue to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period,” added Vijay.

Beer: largest segment of the alcoholic beverage market in the US

In terms of consumption, the beer market in the US was estimated to be about 25.2 billion liters and will reach 26.98 billion liters by 2020. Young consumers continue to experiment with new products and flavors. Canned craft beer has become popular and manufacturers have augmented production capacities to cater to this growing demand. The largest number of breweries in the US is in Colorado; it was here that canned craft beer was first introduced. In 2013, Boston Beer announced the launch of its craft beer in cans.

The growing demand for cider beer (made from fruit juice) is also expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

Spirits: second largest segment of the alcoholic beverage market in the US

In 2015, spirits consumption in the US was estimated to be about 2.13 billion liters and will likely reach 2.46 billion liters by 2020. Spirits include beverages such as vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, brandy, and tequila. This segment is growing faster when compared to the rest of alcoholic beverages. Consumer preference for spirits, especially among women, has been the most significant contributing factor. New product launches, the rise in the import of distilled spirits, and the association of spirits such as scotch whisky, and bourbon and Tennessee whisky with lifestyle are some of the other reasons for the growth of the spirits segment.

Wine market in US

In 2015, wine consumption in the US was estimated to be close to 3.22 billion liters. This will likely touch 4.03 billion liters by 2020. The wine market in the US is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period. Increased wine consumption by women and millennials will contribute significantly to market growth. Longstanding medical research attributes numerous health benefits to wine, especially red wine. Moderate consumption of wine is known to prevent cardiac conditions, enhance mental agility, and delay aging, among other health benefits. An increased focus on health and wellbeing has spurred consumer interest in wine and has contributed to its demand.
