India's Imported Whisky Surge Slows

India's Imported Whisky Surge Slows

The growth of imported whisky in India is easing as the post-pandemic trend towards premium spirits cools.

The rapid expansion of imported whisky in India has begun to slow across several major categories. According to a report from IWSR via Food Business Africa, this shift comes as the period of post-pandemic premiumisation starts to normalise.

Market data suggests that consumer spending habits are evolving, with a noticeable move towards sustainability influencing purchasing decisions. This change is contributing to the cooling of the previous boom in high-end spirits.
