Investment in Scotland's beverage industry

Taking advantage of industry challenges

Globalisation is creating many challenges for the drinks industry in Scotland – for example, major corporations are absorbing their international competitors and local businesses.

However, Scotland is well placed to build on existing expertise and adapt to the challenges facing the global drinks industry.

The Scottish drinks industry can look to the future with confidence by attracting inward investment and increasing the levels of exports of our famous products to developing markets.

These markets include:

• North America
• Asia-Pacific
• Africa
• Mexico
• South America
• Europe

The food and drink industry in Scotland is world-renowned for its quality. The need to compete in, and ship to, the global marketplace has ensured the development of a world-class, leading-edge Scottish drinks industry.
