The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The Baijiu industry was also adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the beginning, widespread lockdowns and restrictions, which were made to limit the virus's dissemination, substantially reduced demand, which in turn had a negative influence on sales both domestically and internationally. Moreover, disruptions in a supply chain resulted in an obstacle in logistics, affecting the production, marketing, and distribution of items. The closure of bars, restaurants, and social venues, in addition to baijiu demand, meant that sales dropped severely. Besides, economic downturns caused by the pandemic make people think twice about which expenditures are essential or not, particularly regarding the discretionary budget for major brand Baijiu.

"Premium and Craft Productions to Propel the Market"

One eye-catching trend in the Baijiu business is the rise of premium and craft productions as a result of a bigger and higher demand for high-quality spirits in the market. Customers are demonstrating a growing appetite for new sensations, unusual production methods, and limited releases, which constitute a gradual move from rather banal and mass production to a more sophisticated and acknowledging attitude towards their drinking habits. On top of that, sustainability and authenticity are the concepts that are gaining more and more attention from consumers. People look for Baijiu brands that take environmental changes into account and follow all the steps of production. In the same vein, the competition has become more intense in the market, where Baijiu producers are trying to differentiate themselves through the use of new ingredients, ageing techniques, and flavour infusions.
