Consumers tend to buy alcohol from duty-free shops located at airports, railway stations, cruise liners, and others, as it is available at a lower price than liquors in regular stores.
Rising disposable income is a crucial driver of the duty-free alcohol market in the years ahead. High growth has been seen in the disposable income of individuals in Europe and Asia-Pacific, driving the overall growth of the duty-free liquor industry. Improvement in the economic situation and growth in disposable income are the two key factors driving the growth of the duty-free liquor market. The world economy was at a standstill after the 2009 European economic crisis. This financial crisis has affected almost all countries in the world. Steady recovery from the crisis, however, has resulted in healthy economic growth, especially in developing economies, and has resulted in increased disposable income among middle-income groups, thereby adding to the middle-class population.
The presence of strict regulations at the airport, majorly for retailing at airports, and the stringent rules regarding the baggage capacity, where the airport officials charge extra for exceeded baggage limits, are estimated to hamper the duty-free liquor market expansion due to the limited adoption rate.
