Craft distillers are focusing on creating innovative products by incorporating fruits, botanicals, spices, and herbs.

Increasingly, consumers are leaning towards artisanal spirits and beverages over traditional mass-produced options. This shift in consumer preference has spurred the growth of artisan distilleries worldwide. While the market share of craft rum is relatively small compared to the overall rum market, local micro-distilleries are ramping up their production to meet the rising demand. International producers are also collaborating with regional micro-distilleries to expand their market presence and are offering craft rum in various container options, such as tanks, bottles, kegs, and boxes.
As more people become aware of the diverse range of flavors and types of craft rum, the market for artisanal rum is expanding. To capitalize on this trend, businesses are investing heavily in research and development efforts, as well as pursuing mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and cooperation strategies to increase their market share.
