Gin Production in the UK - Market Research Report (2014-2029)

Low spirits: Inflationary pressures and changing consumer tastes are eating into gin sales

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

The UK's gin boom has spurred exceptional growth in gin production revenue in recent years, with an influx of craft distillers capitalising on a resurgence in the popularity of gin among consumers prior to the pandemic. Consumers were attracted by the healthier perception of gin compared with some other alcoholic drinks, as well as several new flavours and premium brands hitting shelves. The UK's strong reputation for gin production has ensured strong export demand in recent years, bolstered by favourable exchange-rate fluctuations in the aftermath of the Brexit-vote.

Operators within this industry are concerned with the end-to-end process of gin production, with particular focus on distilling, bottling, and trading with retailers and wholesalers. The independent marketing and packaging of gin is not included in the industry. Other spirits and beverages produced through alcoholic fermentation are also not included in the industry.
