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.

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.
