  • The UK-based alcoholic beverage industry has been attracting a lot of new investment amid anticipation of growth and high demand from consumers.
  • Many alcoholic beverage companies in the UK are revamping their operations to zero carbon emission by 2030.

The UK-based alcoholic beverage industry has been attracting a lot of new investment amid anticipation of industry growth and high demand from consumers. Moreover, the freeze in spirit duty during the budget announcement in October 2021 has led to a rise in the number of distilleries in the UK, which rose to 820 in 2021.

Improving investment scenario is resulting in merger & acquisition deals. Scotch whisky maker Eden Mill St Andrews recently received investment from Inverleith LLP, which bought a majority stake in the company. The new major investment will help the company expand its business towards premium products. Also, the company plans to build a new carbon-neutral distillery.

Many alcoholic beverage companies in the UK are also revamping their operations to zero carbon emission by 2030.
