The rum market is a diverse and ever-evolving segment of the global alcoholic beverages industry. The rum market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period of 2023 to 2031, driven by craft cocktails, premium and aged rum preferences, and the globalization of rum culture. While supply chain disruptions pose a significant restraint, the market is expected to expand, especially in regions with a strong rum tradition and an emerging interest in the spirit. The competitive landscape is marked by key players dedicated to delivering high-quality rums and adapting to the changing tastes of consumers.
Craft Cocktail Movement: One of the primary drivers fueling the rum market is the rising popularity of craft cocktails. In 2022, there was a surge in the craft cocktail movement, with bartenders and consumers alike exploring innovative and unique cocktail creations. Rum, known for its versatility, became a favored choice for mixologists looking to craft exciting and flavorful cocktails. This trend is expected to continue into the forecast period from 2023 to 2031, with consumers seeking artisanal and high-quality rums for their home bars.
Tiki Culture Resurgence: The resurgence of tiki culture is another significant driver. Tiki culture, with its exotic and vibrant cocktails, gained traction in 2022. These cocktails often feature rum as a primary spirit, contributing to the growth of the rum market. This trend is anticipated to persist during the forecast period, as tiki-inspired bars and beverages continue to captivate consumers, driving demand for a variety of rum styles.
Aged Rum Appreciation: The second key driver is the increasing preference for premium and aged rums. In 2022, consumers displayed a growing appreciation for the craftsmanship and complexity of aged rums. These rums, often aged in oak barrels, offer rich and nuanced flavors that appeal to connoisseurs and those seeking a sophisticated drinking experience. This trend is expected to continue into the forecast period, with the demand for premium and aged rums on the rise.
Rum Tourism Destinations: The third driver is the globalization of rum and the emergence of rum tourism. In 2022, regions known for their rum production, such as the Caribbean and Latin America, saw a significant influx of tourists interested in visiting distilleries and experiencing the culture behind rum-making. This trend is anticipated to persist during the forecast period, with more regions around the world positioning themselves as rum destinations and attracting travelers seeking a taste of local rum traditions.
Global Challenges: A significant restraint impacting the rum market is supply chain disruptions, which were experienced in 2022 due to various global challenges. These disruptions included transportation bottlenecks, import/export restrictions, and labor shortages, all of which affected the production and distribution of rum. This restraint is expected to persist during the forecast period, especially if global issues such as climate change and political instability continue to impact the industry.
Product (White Rum, Dark Rum, Spiced Rum, Rum Agricole, Overproof Rum, Others): In 2022, Dark Rum recorded the highest revenue due to its wide range of applications in classic cocktails and a growing demand for aged and premium dark rums. However, during the forecast period from 2023 to 2031, spiced rum is expected to exhibit the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR). The unique and approachable flavor profile of spiced rum, suitable for both sipping and mixing, is anticipated to drive its growth. While dark rum is expected to maintain its revenue leadership, spiced rum will experience robust growth. ABV Levels (Standard Strength Rum, Medium-Strength Rum, Navy-Strength Rum, Overproof Rum, Cask Strength Rum, Custom ABV Rum): In 2022, standard strength rum, falling within the 35% to 45% ABV range, generated the highest revenue due to its versatile use in a wide range of cocktails and mixed drinks. However, during the forecast period from 2023 to 2031, overproof rum is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR. Overproof rum, with an ABV above 68%, is gaining popularity among cocktail enthusiasts seeking stronger and more flavorful spirits. While standard-strength rum is expected to maintain its revenue leadership, overproof rum is poised for significant growth.
The region is expected to maintain its revenue leadership during the forecast period as it was in 2022, while the Asia-Pacific region, with its growing middle-class population and increasing interest in spirits, is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR. North America is expected to grow the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2023 to 2031. A vast number of worldwide producers, increased demand for premium rums, and rising cocktail use of flavored and spiced rums are driving market expansion.
In the competitive landscape of the rum market, key players such as Bacardi, Diageo, Pernod Ricard, LT Group, and Ron Barceló have been at the forefront of innovation and product development.

Their strategies encompass producing high-quality rums, aligning with consumer preferences for premium and aged rums, and expanding their global footprint.
