INDICATORS
23.01.2012
The US has edged ahead of Italy and France to become the world?s largest wine market by volume, according to latest figures from Vinexpo and the IWSR.
In addition, the Vinexpo/IWSR five-year forecasts indicate that US wine consumption should continue to grow by 10% between 2011 and 2015.
China, meanwhile, has displaced the UK in the world?s top five wine-consuming nations, with consumption of still, light and sparkling wines growing by 33.4% in China and Hong Kong combined in 2011. The UK dropped down to sixth on the list.
Consumption in China and Hong Kong grew 2.4 times larger in the five-year period from 2006 to 2010, and the figures predict a further 54.25% rise between 2011 and 2015.
By comparison, French and Italian consumers should be drinking an average of around 50 litres per year by then, and US drinkers will consume an average of 13 litres per year.
Other findings show that the global market for imported wines is growing twice as fast as for domestic wine, with more than one bottle in four drunk anywhere in the world being imported. Also, it its important to point out the continuing decline in white wine consumption around the world in comparison to reds.
As far as spirits are concerned, Asia-Pacific is by far the leading spirits-consuming market in the world with an overall share of 59%, ahead of the Americas with 15%. China is the largest spirits-consuming market in the world.
