Factors Encouraging Growth in the Alcoholic Beverages Market
The increasing number of wineries and breweries is a significant growth catalyst within the alcoholic beverages market.

This expansion supports local and artisanal product appeal, stimulates tourism and innovation, encourages competition, allows for unique brand positioning, and promotes consumer education about different beverage styles and quality. For example, in July 2025, data from Canada’s Agriculture and Agri-Food Department showed that in 2024, the food and beverage processing sector remained the country’s largest manufacturing industry by production value, generating $173.4 billion worth of goods. This accounted for 20.3% of all manufacturing sales and contributed 1.6% to Canada’s GDP. Exports of processed food and beverage products hit a record $59.8 billion, up 3.8% from 2023, making up 34.5% of the industry’s total production value. These figures highlight how the growth of wineries and breweries is bolstering the alcoholic beverages market.
