iSuite Insights Spotlight - Issue #12 Discover The Latest Trends In Imported Whisky Market

The Chinese spirits market is rapidly growing and transforming, primarily due to the increasing demand for premium and luxury spirits among young Chinese consumers. This shift in consumer preferences, moving away from traditional spirits to premium whiskies, has created opportunities for premium whisky brands in a market that was once dominated by baijiu. According to Statista, the revenue in the whisky market is projected to reach 1.16 billion USD in 2023, with an expected annual growth rate of 2.09% from 2023 to 2027.

Based on iAudience and iFans data, we have traced and profiled Chinese netizens who actively followed imported whisky brand-related topics, highlighting their audience profiles and online preferences to identify and market them more effectively.
