Expectations Of Growth The global market for alcoholic beverages amounted to more than $1.49 trillion in 2020 and is expected to grow to $2.2 trillion by 2025, according to Statis- ta. Changing consumer habits during the pandemic have led to a plethora of new behavioral trends,which equates to a host of opportunities for brands hoping to capture new market share in the sector. “Almost a third of consumers would like to continue working from home and coupled with this, more than half of consumers are actively looking for tips on per- sonal health and wellbeing,” said Matthew Haws,Vice President Global Marketing at Esko Brand Solutions. In catering to this, brands can expand into whole new categories.” In other news, Correct-Touch Graphic Arts (CTGA) customer Western Shield Label Co. purchased a new equipment from Esko: the CDI Crystal 4835.
