Adoption of Arak as a Key Ingredient in Cocktails Augments Demand

The demand for arak is anticipated to continue to be on the rise due to changing dietary habits and lifestyles. Primarily known as an ethnic alcoholic drink, the demand for arak is projected to soar as countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, and Palestine continue to make it an integral part of their diet. Furthermore, the booming hospitality industry in Lebanon has also contributed to the growing profits of the arak market. Growing production of arak in various flavors has also presented mammoth opportunities to the global market in recent years. Efforts taken by manufacturers in the Middle Eastern countries such as Syria, Jordan, Israel, and Lebanon to preserve this traditional drink are also expected drive the market’s growth.

The shifting preference of younger population toward arak is also expected to boost the sales of this product in the coming years. The increasing demand for arak in places such as bars, pubs, wine stores, and across a majority of the food chains has also augmented the demand for arak.

Furthermore, incorporation of arak as a key ingredient in a wide range of cocktails is also anticipated work in favor of overall market.

Shifting Political Scenario in Syria Threatens Market Growth

The changing political scenario of the Middle East has significantly marred the earnings of the global arak market. The ongoing Syrian conflict has resulted in high cost of raw materials required for producing arak. This has resulted in the high production cost of arak and thereby increased the selling price as well. Furthermore, the poor regulations pertaining to the production of arak have also resulted in homemade arak and unlabeled arak, which is hampering the sales of commercialized arak brands.
