Japan Craft Spirits Industry Trends and Drivers:
The Japan craft spirits market is thriving, driven by rising consumer demand for premium, artisanal, and locally produced alcoholic beverages. Japanese whisky, known for its craftsmanship and quality, continues to dominate the market, with brands such as Suntory and Nikka currently taking the lead, due to their global recognizability and export potential. Craft gin is also growing rapidly, using local distinctive botanicals, as part of the increasing demand for better premium cocktails. With rising consumer preferences towards real, small-batch spirits, and the demand for heritage, sustainability, and moderation, consumers can appreciate innovative flavour profiles. The on-trade (i.e. bars, restaurants, hotels) has an important share of the market, as the demand for spirits as an experience, socially, also links to premium.
On-trade gives way to off-trade, as online and specialty shops also begin to grow share, as e-commerce and consumer access becomes an easier option. There are challenges - Japan’s aging population, younger people are more inclined to low alcohol or health options and craft distilleries need to look into new options, such as non-alcoholic or low-grade (ABV) craft spirits. Overall, there is opportunity, with the continued support of regulations for small distilleries, as well as the growth in tourism, especially quarantine lift in Kanto / Kansai that will create international demand for authentic experiences of Japan.
