Drivers & Restraints-

Market Growth is driven by Consumers' interest in New Flavors and Exotic Tastes

One of the major factors driving demand for blue agave plant-based distilled spirits is the growing popularity of various artisanal spirits among consumers worldwide. Consumers worldwide want fresh and delicious exotic drinks with a distinct flavor, propelling the market growth. However, in recent years, as we have seen an increase in spirits consumption, particularly in developing regions, developed countries have predicted a shift in consumer preferences toward low and no alcoholic beverages. Their growing awareness of the negative effects of alcohol consumption has led them to seek out low or no alcohol drinks that taste just like alcoholic beverages but without the negative consequences. This factor may impede the tequila market growth.
