INTRODUCTION TO LIQUOR INDUSTRY



THE LIQUOR INDUSTRY IN INDIA

In India, ‘drinking’ has remained a bad word, clubbed with the other vices. While the beer and liquor market continues to grow at an impressive rate even against an economic recession, the social stigma remains in place, which manifests itself in antigrowth state policies.
Domestic Industry

However, the Rs. 70.0 Billion organized beer and liquor industry has been growing at an impressive rate. In sharp contrast to the trend the world over, beer is losing ground to hard liquor in India. Amidst beers, the current trend is that lager beer is giving way to strong beer. Even as the liquor manufacturers could hope to garner the people who are shifting from beer to liquor, there is a vast country liquor market and a sizable grey market to contend with.
United Breweries (UB), Shaw Wallace and McDowell (part of the UB Group) presently dominate the liquor and beer market. The market on its part is set to undergo a sea change with the arrival of MNCs. The removal of quantitative restrictions (QRs) on the import of bottled alcoholic beverages only makes the competition tougher.
LatestTrends
To survive in the highly competitive environment, the MNCs as well as the domestic majors are coming up with various strategies. Acquisitions and alliances appear to be the order of the day. Several such deals are already underway while more are in the offing. The domestic majors are also reorganizing their operations so that they can forge a deal with an MNC if the need arises.
Problem Areas

What plagues the industry most is a very complicated set of laws and taxes. Each state has a different excise duty structure, import and export levies and other regulations regarding licensing fees and sales of new brands. This puts tremendous pressure on the industry players. They cannot transport their products from a market that has excess capacity to one where there is a short supply. The taxes on alcoholic beverages are some of the highest in the world. In some states it works out to as high as 200%.
