The global craft rum market was valued at USD 1.27 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period 2024-2032. This growth is attributed to rising consumer demand for premium and artisanal spirits that focus on quality, authenticity, and sustainability. Craft rum's distinct flavor profiles, achieved through small-batch production and innovative distillation techniques, appeal to millennial and Gen Z consumers.
The market is segmented based on Type, Application, and Distribution Channel. Among types, white rum, black rum, golden rum, and spiced rum cater to diverse taste preferences and cocktail trends. Golden rum and spiced rum are particularly favored in premium cocktails due to their robust flavor profiles. The application segment includes distribution through bottle stores, bars, online platforms, and restaurants, highlighting growing consumer interest in both on-trade and off-trade channels.
The on-trade segment dominated in 2023, with bars and restaurants serving as key platforms for introducing craft rum-based cocktails to consumers. Meanwhile, the off-trade segment is expected to grow fastest, driven by increasing availability through supermarkets, liquor stores, and online platforms. Regional dynamics favor Europe as the leading market, with Italy and Germany driving demand, while Asia-Pacific is expected to grow fastest, led by markets such as India and Japan.
