Other drivers include greater inclination towards social drinking as well as women indulging into alcohol consumption. As India has huge youth population, the demand of alcohol would remain high in the coming years. The market saw a boom in Vodka sales in past decade as Vodka was positioned as the alcohol for women. Youth largely prefer beer and the salaried youth are inclined toward whiskey and rum. In beer segment, more than 85% of the market is dominated by strong beer rather than mild.

The growth of premium segment would surpass the overall growth of alcohol market due to greater exposure towards foreign brands. India has seen a burst of high net worth individuals in past two decades and the list is ever increasing, which would fuel the growth of market in premium segment. In addition to travel retail theatres and duty free retailing would further boost the growth of premium alcohol in the market. Companies are launching exclusive new brands and products at premium prices to increase their margins and capture the upper class consumers.
