In India, wine is now becoming more sought-after, accepted, and available. One of the most important factors driving the Indian wine market is the companies’ expansion to tier-II and tier-III cities. In a recent research, RNCOS found that Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, and Bengaluru are the largest wine consumers in the country. Realizing the high market potential existing in smaller cities, wines companies are making their presence felt in these areas. For the Indian wine industry, rising urbanization is a major growth driver.
According to “Indian Wine Industry Analysis”, around 70% of the country’s population resides in tier-II and tier-III cities, and wine companies aim at grabbing a bigger pie of the rapidly growing market. Increasing disposable incomes, changing lifestyles, attitudes and preferences of Indian consumers, particularly young men and women, and influence of media and western culture are the main promising factors for the Indian wine industry. Various state governments are encouraging wineries to support domestic wine producers, who were affected due to economic slowdown. With this, it is anticipated that the wine consumption volume in India will grow at a CAGR of around 25% during 2011-2014.
