Our View of the Market: Not long ago, if you launched a new brewery, craft beer line, or distillery, you were assured marketshare and predictable growth.
Not so today.
A powerful, new market dynamic has swept in: capitalization for growth, strategic alliances, and consolidation through mergers and acquisitions. You can’t so much as glance at industry publications these days without seeing news of roll-ups, buyouts, and companies trying to structure alliances to achieve scale.
Why is this happening?
It’s actually, as predicted, the next phase in a maturing market, which has gotten increasingly competitive and will remain so for years to come. That said, competitive markets can also be growing marketing, and that’s the case with the craft distillation industry. It has never been more vibrant, and – for shrewd investors or strategic acquirers – it’s never been a more-exciting time to seek opportunities.
If you are a company owner who is curious about the value your company could obtain in today’s market, or if you are an acquirer who seeks opportunity, the team at 1StWEST M&A welcomes contact from you.
