The craft beverage industry was booming over the last twenty years. COVID-19 introduced a slight snag but one Victoria BC based distilling equipment manufacturer has a goal to not let COVID affect their industry anymore.
The craft beverage industry has been booming lately. Of course, like most industries, COVID-19 put a snag in that growth. But when the dust of the global pandemic settles — craft breweries and micro distilleries are going to pick back up again. This will then lead to the steady growth of local beverage distributors, manufacturers of brewery and distilling equipment, and various other related businesses.
What was predicted for growth trends in the distillery and distilling equipment market before COVID?
Before COVID-19 hit last year, the production and consumption of spirits were expected to continue a steep incline. Craft and micro distilleries specifically were predicted to skyrocket — and industries that supported and contributed to that growth were about to profit from it. So manufacturers of distilling equipment were ready. Then March of 2020 hit, and the foresight of growth in any industry related to alcoholic beverages were impractical for the time being.
What is predicted for growth trends in the distillery and distilling equipment market post COVID?
It’s often forgotten that, no matter how difficult the correlation is, all industries are somehow connected. But the connection between the spirits industry and the distilling equipment industry is evident. If the demand for spirits goes down, the supply will eventually go down — which, in return, ripples into the demand and eventual supply for distilling equipment. Essentially, everything took a hit over the past year.
But there is good news. The industries that took said hit from March 2020 to March 2021, are now resuming growth again.
