Earlier Report Observations

The physical volume of China's wine market fell from 2 959 thousand tons in 2018 to 2 090 thousand tons in 2023, marking an overall contraction. The decline was interrupted by a modest recovery in 2022, when market size increased to 2 504 thousand tons, before dropping sharply the following year.

In value terms, the market experienced a steep drop from $51.1 billion in 2018 to $31.1 billion in 2020, followed by a sustained rebound that brought it to $44.0 billion in 2023. This growth in market value occurred despite lower physical volume, indicating a shift toward higher-priced segments or changes in product mix.

Domestic wine production followed a similar pattern, decreasing in volume from 2 228 thousand tons in 2018 to 1 761 thousand tons in 2023, with a temporary rise in 2022. Imports, both in volume and value, trended downward over the period, reducing their share of the total market.
