Gin Production in Germany industry analysis

The gin industry has experienced a hype in recent years and gin and tonic in particular has become a trend drink. Gin itself is available in a wide range of different flavours, and various mixed drinks further increase the variety of the beverage. German producers are trying to establish themselves on the market with attractive branding and often high-quality gins. Domestic gin producers have also been able to benefit from the positive consumer trends of recent years. This was reflected in average annual sales growth of 30.8% between 2019 and 2024. In the current year, turnover is expected to increase by 5.8% to 152.6 million euros.Demand for German gin has been affected by various trends in the current year. The declining number of inhabitants aged between 18 and 64 and the per capita consumption of alcohol are likely to have a negative impact on demand for gin. In addition, German gin producers are competing with foreign producers. Growing health awareness is expected to increase demand for non-alcoholic gin, which is likely to have a negative impact on demand for alcoholic gin. Rising demand from clubs, bars and other venues serving drinks is expected to have a positive impact on industry sales.In the next five years, industry turnover is expected to increase by an average of 3.5% annually. This means that turnover is expected to amount to 181.3 million euros in 2029. Gin producers must continue to observe consumer trends and respond to them. With innovations, regionality, a variety of flavours and high-quality gins, German distilleries should continue to hold their own on the market in the future. However, trends such as the increasing demand for non-alcoholic gin must continue to be taken into account.

Trends and Insights

  • The positioning of gin and tonic as a lifestyle drink has led to an increase in sales. Gin and especially the long drink gin and tonic have become a trend drink in recent years. The resulting increase in demand for gin has also led to higher sales for German producers.

  • The production of gin in Germany is dominated by large players. However, the number of small, artisanal distilleries has increased significantly in recent years.
