세계 샴페인 시장의 성장을 촉진하는 요인으로는 특히 특별한 날이나 축하 행사에서 소비자의 프리미엄 및 고급 주류 판매 증가, 신흥 경제국을 중심으로 한 가처분 소득 증가, 체험형 소비를 포함한 라이프스타일 트렌드 변화 등을 꼽을 수 있습니다. 이와는 별개로 샴페인은 지위와 세련됨을 상징하며 폭넓은 고객층을 형성하고 있습니다. 소셜 미디어의 인기가 높아지면 명품에 대한 인지도가 높아져 브랜드 인지도와 수요가 증가합니다. 또한, 샴페인 생산자들의 유통망 확대와 E-Commerce의 부상으로 인해 샴페인은 지역 전체에서 접근성이 높아졌습니다. IMARC Group에 따르면, 세계 E-Commerce 시장은 2024년 26조 8,000억 달러에 달할 것으로 예상되며, 2025년부터 2033년까지 25.83%의 CAGR을 기록할 것으로 예상됩니다. 소비자들이 친환경적이고 건강 지향적인 제품을 찾는 추세에 따라 지속가능한 유기농 샴페인에 대한 수요도 증가하는 추세입니다. 이에 따라 샴페인이 고급 레스토랑, 호텔, 이벤트에서 크게 각광을 받으면서 관광 및 접객업에도 큰 기여를 하고 있습니다.
미국은 샴페인의 중요한 지역 시장입니다. 미국 샴페인 시장은 축하 행사, 휴일, 특별한 날에 프리미엄급 고급 주류에 대한 수요 증가 등 몇 가지 중요한 요인에 의해 주도되고 있습니다. 소비자들이 자극적인 사교의 장을 경험하는 수단으로 명품 구매를 고려하는 체험형 소비 트렌드는 샴페인의 매출을 크게 증가시키고 있습니다. 특히 젊은 소비자들의 가처분 소득 증가와 소셜 미디어의 영향력이 샴페인 시장의 수요를 더욱 촉진하고 있습니다. 또한, 새로운 온라인 소매 채널과 소비자 직거래를 통해 접근성이 용이해져 더 많은 소비자들이 자신의 편의에 따라 샴페인을 구매할 수 있게 되었습니다. 또한, 호스피탈리티 및 관광 부문의 일부를 구성하는 고급 레스토랑, 호텔, 이벤트 장소도 시장 성장을 견인하고 있습니다.
와인 관광의 인기 상승
현재 와인 관광은 전 세계적으로 인기를 끌고 있으며, 샴페인은 와인 애호가들에게 인기 있는 여행지로 떠오르고 있습니다. 와인 관광에서는 포도밭의 독특한 매력을 체험하면서 와인 제조 과정과 포도 품종, 와인과의 궁합 등을 배울 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 샴페인 지역은 2016년에 약 330만 명의 와인 관광객을 맞이했는데, 이는 2009년 대비 33% 증가한 수치입니다. 이러한 급증은 프리미엄 음료의 기원을 찾는 것에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있음을 보여줍니다. 관광객들은 최고의 와인 체험으로 꼽히는 산지 시음과 현지에서만 구할 수 있는 한정판 와인을 즐길 수 있습니다. 와인 관광은 또한 샴페인의 역사, 지리적 영향, 생산 뒤에 숨은 예술성에 대한 지식을 넓힐 수 있습니다. 공동 체험을 촉진하고 품질을 중시하는 와인 관광은 문화 감상을 촉진할 뿐만 아니라 샴페인의 시장 점유율을 크게 높일 수 있습니다.
샴페인을 판매하는 전자 플랫폼의 증가
E-Commerce의 확대는 전 세계 소비자의 접근성과 편의성을 향상시켜 샴페인 시장에 혁명을 일으키고 있습니다. 한 기사에 따르면, 미국에서는 온라인 주류 시장이 급성장하여 2020년에는 DTC(Direct-to-Consumer : 소비자 직접 판매) 주류 매출이 73% 증가하여 미국 DTC 와인 사업의 4분의 1을 차지할 것이라고 합니다. 이러한 추세는 샴페인을 다른 주류와 함께 제공하는 플랫폼이 급증하고 있음을 보여줍니다. Future Drinks Expo와 같은 행사는 소비자 행동을 형성하고 브랜드 인지도를 높이는 디지털 플랫폼의 가능성을 강조하고 있습니다. E-Commerce 플랫폼은 소비자에게 상세한 제품 정보, 평가, 리뷰 등을 제공하여 소비자가 정보에 입각한 의사결정을 내릴 수 있도록 돕습니다. 또한 지리적 제약을 극복하고 원격지의 소비자들이 다양한 샴페인 브랜드에 접근할 수 있도록 합니다. 경쟁력 있는 가격, 한정 할인, 고객 로열티 프로그램으로 인해 샴페인의 온라인 구매가 더욱 촉진되고 있으며, 전 세계적으로 샴페인 판매의 주요 채널이 디지털 소매로 전환되고 있습니다.
지속가능성과 유기농 트렌드에 대한 관심 증가
샴페인 제조업체들은 친환경 제품을 원하는 소비자의 요구와 환경에 미치는 영향을 줄여야 하는 필요성에 따라 지속가능한 방법을 채택하고 있습니다. 이러한 트렌드에는 유기적 생산 방식, 이산화탄소 배출량 및 재료 폐기물의 감소에 중점을 두는 것 등이 포함됩니다. CSR(Charles Hydeshek)의 보고서에 따르면, 샴페인 하우스는 지속가능한 생산을 보장하기 위해 자사 포도밭의 100%가 HVE/VDC 인증을 획득하는 등 효율적인 포도밭 관리 기술을 도입하고 있다고 합니다. 또한, 재료의 재활용과 퇴비화를 통해 폐기물을 줄이고, 2016년부터 1,000그루 이상의 관목을 심어 테루아르의 생물다양성을 지원하고 있습니다.
에너지 소비와 관련하여, 샴페인 하우스는 탄소 중립을 향해 나아가고 있습니다. 주목할 만한 사례로 2019년 이후 전력 소비량을 22.7% 절감하고, 2025년까지 40% 절감하겠다는 목표를 세우고 있습니다. 또한, 이 회사의 병의 80%는 재활용 유리로 만들어졌으며, 샤를 하이드쉑의 75cl 병의 82%는 경량화되어 제조 및 운송 시 에너지 소비를 줄이는 데 기여하고 있습니다. 태양광 및 풍력발전과 같은 재생에너지의 채택은 이러한 노력의 핵심이며, 보다 지속가능하고 비용 효율적인 운영을 실현하기 위한 핵심 요소입니다.
지속가능성에 대한 트렌드는 환경적 가치에 부합하는 브랜드에 대한 선호도 증가에도 반영되고 있습니다. 이러한 배경에서 샴페인의 각 메종은 2030년까지 유럽 내에서 조달된 제품을 100% 사용하고, 2030년까지 병의 무게를 3% 줄이는 것을 목표로 에코 크레덴셜을 강화하기 위해 노력하고 있습니다. 샴페인 제조업체는 지속가능성을 의사결정 과정에 반영하고, 환경 친화적인 공급업체와 장기적인 파트너십을 구축함으로써 환경 보호에 기여할 뿐만 아니라, 책임감 있는 선진 브랜드로서의 입지를 다지고 있습니다.
