COVID-19 IMPACT

 Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to the closure of bars, restaurants, and hotels worldwide and restrictions on social gatherings

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The grape brandy market suffered tremendously due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Worldwide closure of pubs, restaurants and hotels resulting in restrictions of social gatherings led to a massive decrease in on-premises consumption of alcoholic drinks. Consequently, there was a significant slump in sales of premium grape brandies that are mainly taken during social events. Similarly, the production and distribution processes were disrupted hence leading to delays or shortages in some parts globally. Many distilleries could not maintain their operations because of confinement orders imposed by authorities aimed at controlling the spread of the disease alongside other health regulations such as social distancing measures which greatly reduced their workforce capacity. Economic uncertainty caused by this pandemic made consumers prioritize necessary goods over luxurious ones including expensive liquor thereby further reducing its market share.

Nevertheless, during the quarantine, people turned to expensive drinks for consolation, meaning that there was a slight relief from this trend towards e-commerce and home consumption of products. It has been largely an unfavourable outcome because the industry has faced challenges which are yet to resolve even after such a long period. In areas where grape brandies are mostly sold, tourism and hospitality have been seriously affected and this has had adverse effects on the market for grapes.
