The new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.
Rise in demand for premium single malt whiskey
The global single malt whiskey market is witnessing an increased demand for premium single malt whiskey across the globe, especially in the UK and the US. The price of single malt whiskey goes up as the age of whiskey increases. The increase in the number of high net worth individuals globally is raising the demand for these premium products. Some of the premium single malt whiskey are Balblair Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey 1999 and Suntory Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve Single Malt Whiskey.
Increase in export and import
The increase in exports and imports globally across various whiskey-consuming countries is helping the sales of single malt whiskeys. For instance, in 2015 the UK exported single malt Scotch whiskey valued at around $621 million and Canada imported products valued at about $55 million. The growing popularity of the premium product in the European market is expected to increase the import activities in the region. Emerging nations like Mexico, Poland, Turkey, and India are also participating in import and export activities to increase their revenues.
New product launches

Many vendors are venturing into collaborations and partnerships to launch new products. For instance, Puni Distillery recently launched two single malt whiskies under the brand names Puni Nova and Puni Alba. The company is marketing these products as Italy’s first single malt whiskey.
Increasing mergers and acquisitions
Established companies are acquiring smaller ones to gain entry into new markets and to offer new and innovative products.
