As published previously, China remains by far the biggest online market for alcoholic drinks, with a turnover that’s over three times the size of the next largest markets, France and the US.
Wine leads in most ecommerce markets, but there are some categories that are clearly dominating as well. Chris Young, IWSR’s Head of Pricing and a Market Analyst, notes, “within spirits, the growth of Malt Scotch across all markets cannot be ignored, and Cognac sets the tone as a model for driving online sales in China especially. Brands globally can learn from the examples Champagne has set in Japan, rum in France, or mixed drinks in the US.”
