Gin Market Size to Reach USD 29.48 Billion by 2030, Driven by Premiumization and Craft Innovations

The global gin market is expected to grow from USD 23.43 billion in 2025 to USD 29.48 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. This growth is largely attributed to a combination of factors, including the increasing demand for premium and craft gins, flavor diversification, and the rising popularity of gin-based cocktails. As gin continues to evolve, new botanical-rich expressions, craft innovations, and a focus on sustainability are reshaping the landscape.

While Europe remains a dominant player in the gin market, the Asia-Pacific region is emerging as a fast-growing market driven by the growing cocktail culture in urban centers. Additionally, trade liberalization, particularly the UK-India trade agreement, is expanding opportunities for premium gin exports. As gin's consumer base diversifies and global demand surges, the market's expansion is set to continue into the next decade.

Gin Market Key Trends

1. Increasing Demand for Premium and Craft Gins

The shift toward premium and craft gins is one of the most prominent trends in the market. Consumers are increasingly looking for gin products that emphasize superior quality, unique botanicals, and authentic provenance. Craft distillers are capitalizing on these preferences, producing small-batch, high-quality gins that cater to the growing demand for premium experiences. This trend has been particularly strong in North America and Europe, where consumers are willing to pay more for distinctive gin experiences that reflect craftsmanship and authenticity.

Producers are also leveraging direct-to-consumer models, distillery tourism, and subscription services to engage customers. These strategies not only drive brand loyalty but also contribute to the premium segment's dominance. The increasing interest in provenance stories and the expansion of premium gin exports, especially with trade agreements like the UK-India deal, are helping to widen the market for premium gin across the globe.

2. Rising Popularity of Gin-Based Cocktails

Gin's versatility as a base spirit for cocktails is contributing significantly to its growth. As cocktail culture spreads globally, especially in urban centers in Asia-Pacific, gin-based drinks such as gin and tonics, martinis, and spritzes have become favorites among younger consumers. In markets like Hong Kong and Spain, premium cocktail bars featuring botanical gins have become popular, further driving the demand for high-quality gin.

Social media platforms play an essential role in this trend, with consumers sharing their gin cocktail creations online. This not only increases the visibility of gin brands but also helps in strengthening consumer engagement, particularly with younger demographics who are active on social media and enjoy showcasing their cocktail skills. The increasing demand for convenient, yet flavorful cocktails is expected to continue fueling gin sales in both on-trade (bars and restaurants) and off-trade (retail) channels.

3. Innovation in Flavor and Ingredients

Flavored gins are gaining popularity as producers experiment with a wide range of botanicals, spices, and even barrel finishes. The trend towards unique and exotic flavors, such as hibiscus, cucumber, and native Australian botanicals like finger lime, is helping to diversify the gin market and attract new consumers. These innovations allow brands to cater to different tastes and preferences, positioning their products as unique offerings in the competitive spirits market.

Moreover, sustainability has become a critical driver for innovation, with many distillers focusing on sourcing ingredients that are locally produced and environmentally friendly. This includes using native plants and functional botanicals that cater to the growing demand for wellness-oriented beverages. For example, Australian distillers are tapping into the trend by using native plants to minimize transportation costs and reduce their environmental footprint.

4. Growing Tourism and Hospitality Sector

The global rebound in tourism is boosting sales in the hospitality sector, particularly in bars, restaurants, and hotels, where premium spirits like gin are in high demand. Premium gins are increasingly featured in cocktail programs, enhancing the drinking experience for tourists and locals alike. Distillery tours, cocktail masterclasses, and "gin schools" have become popular attractions in regions with a strong gin culture, such as the UK and Spain.

For example, Suntory's investment in its Osaka facility, which includes a visitor center set to open in 2026, is aimed at tapping into the growing tourism sector and increasing brand visibility. Additionally, gin is becoming a key feature in airports, particularly in European and Middle Eastern hubs, where duty-free shops cater to international travelers.

5. Strategic Expansion by Pub Chains

Pub chains, particularly in Europe and North America, are expanding their gin offerings, showcasing a wide variety of gin brands to cater to the growing demand for unique drinking experiences. These pub chains are increasingly focusing on offering premium gin options and developing exclusive cocktail recipes that highlight the versatility of gin. This expansion is helping drive sales in the on-trade sector, with pubs becoming key destinations for gin consumers.
