According to the report, a growth driver of the market is the increasing wine production in developing countries and new markets.

The total wine yard area is also increasing around the globe, and this factor is also helping to increase the wine production.

Emergence of private label brands is a trend emerging in the market that can affect the market during the forecast period. The retailers, especially the grocery stores, see private label as a profitable option with margins that are 10%-15% higher than national brands. Private label wines are wines made exclusively for a single retailer and are sold under the retailer's brand, not the winery's brand.

Private label has a market share of about 5%-10% in the US wine retail market. Major grocery retailers such as Tesco and Aldi have come up with their own brands of wine and the penetration level of private label in some of the European countries is more than 50%. However, the biggest challenge to the growth of private label is the issue of quality.

Further, the report states that availability of counterfeit products will be a challenge for the market. The wine industry is facing a major threat from the growing market of counterfeit products.
