The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has announced the result of a survey on the recent consumption trends in Mainland China, which shows that as a cocktail culture begins to prevail in the country, spirits consumption is rising.
The survey was conducted in May 2020 with about 1,500 middle-class mainland consumers from Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Harbin, Changsha, Nanjing and Xian polled through an online questionnaire.
92% of these respondents rated themselves as beginner level consumers with limited knowledge about spirits, while 8% rated themselves as intermediate level with some knowledge about spirits.
Compared to the wine category in the same market, 75% of the wine drinkers rated themselves as beginners and 24% rated themselves as intermediate level. The Chinese spirit market is still in a developing stage.
