By Distribution Channel, the Hypermarkets or supermarkets segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

The global Ready To Drink (RTD) cocktails market encompasses a diverse range of spirits, with distilled liquors, or distilled spirits, representing a significant segment. Obtained through the distillation process of fermented fruit or plant juices, these spirits contain approximately 5% alcohol by volume. Notable varieties include gin, rum, tequila, whiskey, scotch, cognac, brandy, and others. The health-conscious consumer demographic is increasingly drawn to spirits due to their lower calorie content compared to beers and other alcoholic beverages. Among spirits, vodka and negronis are experiencing heightened demand in the RTD category. The market trend towards premiumization and the convenience offered by RTD products presents lucrative opportunities for the adoption of international spirits, particularly vodka and gin, among consumers.

By Type, Spirit based  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

In the dynamic ready to drink cocktails market, hypermarkets and supermarkets emerge as preferred retail channels for consumers. These retail giants, such as Walmart Inc. and Target Corp. in the US, provide a vast selection of brands and stock-keeping units (SKUs) at competitive prices. The convenience factor, extensive SKUs, and wide brand variety are key considerations for consumers when purchasing RTD cocktails from these outlets. The growing trend of hectic lifestyles and busy schedules has led to an increasing preference for convenient on-the-go packaging of RTD cocktails. As a result, the hypermarket and supermarket segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance in the global ready to drink cocktails market during the forecast period.

North America is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

The North American region leads the global ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails market, driven by the region's highest alcohol consumption rate. In 2021, RTD cocktail sales surged by 39% due to increased consumer spending on premium spirits during COVID-19 lockdowns, fueling at-home consumption. Key players, including Brown Forman, Crook & Marker, and Boston Beer, bolster market growth in the region. The US market benefits from rising per-capita alcohol expenditure and a declining excise tax on alcohol. Furthermore, the popularity of low-alcoholic, flavored RTD cocktails has led to increased consumption and spending on alcohol in recent years.
