The Global Champagne market size will be estimated to be USD 6.8 Billion in 2024 to reach 10.05 Billion in 2032 at a CAGR of 5.0 % over the prediction period 2024 to 2032.
Champagne is a product produced from grapes that are grown in the Champagne region of France. The grapes that are used are very specific such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. These grapes are fermented to make wine that contains about 9% of alcohol by volume. Champagne is also known as sparkling wine and is strictly regulated by Comité Champagne of France. The various wine-producing country produces sparkling wine similar to champagne, but any other wine which might resemble champagne cannot be sold or labeled as champagne. All champagnes are sparkling wines, but all sparkling wines are not champagne. Grapes that are grown according to the appellation rules are only allowed to make champagne.
The champagne market is growing steadily despite the recent drop in first-quarter sales in 2024 in major industries across the globe including the United States, France, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and Scandinavia. On the other hand, in the previous year 2023, the market saw a significant rise in demand for premium Spanish sparkling wine in Germany with a 4.14 per cent and a 5.44 per cent surge in the US and Belgium combined. The United Kingdom also contributed with a 5.38 per cent expansion in sales. The emerging industry for Spanish products is Brazil where the trade went upwards by over 75 per cent. Interestingly, around 70 per cent of sales of Cava DO came from exports.
Whereas in the US wine industry, 40 per cent of smaller premium wineries are projected to grow further by 10 per cent and 34 per cent. They manufacture 1K to 5K cases with an average cost of over 50 dollars. In addition, Generation X and Z with Millennials now constitute 61 per cent of all wine consumers while Baby Boomers remain an important portion.
So, the champagne market is estimated to pick up the pace later in 2024 and thrive further during the forecast period.
The increased demand for high-end products, the influence of Western lifestyle and urbanization are driving the champagne market growth. Companies are using systematically designed and well-researched strategies to retain existing customers and also add new ones by developing innovative brand experiences.
Similarly, the premiumization of wines has completely taken over the U.S. wine industry with a steady inflow of revenue from premium wines despite a drop in overall industry volume. This trend is propelling the country’s champagne market. Further, it is believed that the retail sales of wines costing over 10 dollars for a 750 ml bottle will grow till the end of 2024 and into the next year.
The champagne market is also expanding due to the high demand for sparkling wine across key European countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and Belgium. As per the latest released 2023 sales data in 2024, the revenue from Cava registered a historical high. The Spanish manufacturers saw a 4 per cent annual surge and worldwide sales of 252 million bottles. It is a tremendous growth of more than 2.7 million than in 2022. The industry also witnessed the maximum expansion in Spain in 2023 with a 3.9 per cent increase in volume and a 10.6 per cent in value terms.
The champagne market is struggling to expand further due to climate change effects, consumer tastes and preferences and bad working and living conditions. The market growth suffered a major blow in 2023 during the autumn season when 5 workers lost their lives in Europe evidently from heat stroke at 96 degrees Fahrenheit. The examination also revealed terrible housing conditions like unclean, dilapidated and lacking sanitation facilities.
Another factor that decreases the market share is unpaid wages. During the same autumn season in 2023, wages were not paid to around 120k workers throughout the 2 to 3-week harvest which is to be performed by hand. It also involved manpower from Bulgaria and even North Africa. Such practices and behaviours are hampering the expansion of the champagne market size.
The costly production, maintenance of the vineyard, grape selection and traditional methods are causing considerable price increases. This is hindering the industry development.
