Mezcal Market Soars to USD 1.312 Billion by 2035 Amid Rising Global Demand for Craft Spirits

The global mezcal market is projected for significant expansion, with a new report forecasting its value to more than double from USD 640 million in 2025 to an impressive USD 1,312 million by 2035, demonstrating a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.4% over the forecast period. This surge is primarily fueled by the escalating global demand for craft spirits and mezcal's unique, smoky, and complex profile, which firmly positions it within the premium alcohol category.

Mezcal, a traditional Mexican agave spirit, is experiencing a renaissance as consumers increasingly seek authentic, artisanal, and heritage-rich beverages. Product innovation, including limited-edition batches, celebrity-backed labels, and the introduction of ready-to-drink (RTD) mezcal cocktails, is broadening its appeal beyond traditional connoisseurs to a more casual consumer base. Artisanal producers are also leveraging advanced distillation and fermentation tracking tools to ensure consistent quality while preserving traditional methods.

Despite its rapid growth, mezcal currently holds a niche position within the broader alcoholic beverage market, accounting for less than 0.1% of the global alcoholic beverages market and approximately 0.3% of the global spirits market. However, its presence is more significant within the agave-based spirits market (10-15%) and the craft spirits market (5-7%), underscoring its strong appeal among consumers prioritizing authenticity and small-batch production.

Key Market Segments Driving Growth:

The market's expansion is notably driven by specific segments. Mezcal Añejo, aged in oak barrels for over a year, is set to dominate the product segment, capturing a 22% market share in 2025 due to its smooth character and layered flavors. The demand for 100% Agave Mezcal, produced without additives, is exceptionally strong, projected to account for 72% of the concentration segment by 2025, reflecting a consumer preference for natural and authentic experiences. Furthermore, Tobalá-based mezcal, prized for its rarity and complex flavor profile, is expected to exhibit an impressive 9.0% CAGR through 2025. The off-trade distribution channel (retail chains, specialty liquor stores, and e-commerce) will remain the largest, holding 64% of the market share in 2025, driven by increased at-home consumption and enhanced accessibility.

Geographic Expansion and Key Markets:

Geographically, the United States remains the largest consumer market, valued at USD 192 million in 2025 and projected to reach USD 392 million by 2035, growing at a 7.5% CAGR. This growth is underpinned by a sophisticated consumer base, a thriving cocktail culture, and robust distribution networks.

However, emerging markets are showing even faster momentum. India is poised to be the fastest-growing market for mezcal, with a projected CAGR of 8.0% from 2025 to 2035, reflecting its rapidly expanding urban middle class and increasing adoption of premium imported spirits. China follows closely with a projected CAGR of 7.8%, driven by rising disposable incomes and evolving lifestyle preferences. European markets like the UK (7.6% CAGR), France (7.3% CAGR), and Germany (7.2% CAGR) also demonstrate strong and sustained interest, while Japan (7.1% CAGR), Brazil (7.3% CAGR), and Mexico (7.4% CAGR) contribute significantly to the global growth narrative.

Competitive Landscape:

The mezcal industry is characterized by a mix of artisanal producers and multinational spirits conglomerates, with consolidation accelerating in premium segments. Key players are competing on premiumization, terroir authenticity, and global distribution. Pernod Ricard, with its flagship brand Del Maguey, holds a leading share (24-28%), emphasizing artisanal integrity and sustainability initiatives. Other prominent players include Diageo plc, Bacardi Limited, Brown-Forman Corporation, and Constellation Brands, all vying for market share through strategic partnerships, digital brand storytelling, and sustainability certifications.

The robust growth trajectory, coupled with increasing consumer awareness and strategic market positioning, solidifies mezcal's standing as a dynamic and promising segment within the global spirits industry, poised for continued expansion through 2035 and beyond.
