Covid-19 scenario:

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, several governments imposed complete lockdown and international travel was halted. This affected airport duty-free liquor sales significantly.
Moreover, the prolonged lockdown resulted in unsold stock of duty-free liquors and some retailers have found imaginative ways to keep trading.
However, as some countries have lifted lockdown regulations, the sales of airport duty-free liquor would rise.
The others segment held the lion's share

By product, the others segment, which includes beer, wine, vodka, and cognac, held the largest share in 2019, accounting for around 90% of the global airport duty-free liquor market. Moreover, the segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 22.8% during the forecast period, owing to increase in air passenger traffic and rise in female drinkers. The report includes an analysis of the whiskey segment.
