The increasing popularity of premium and craft liquors is another key driver of the global airport duty-free liquor market. High-end brands like aged whiskies, fine wines, and rare spirits are particularly in demand.

Technological advancements in retail, such as digital interfaces and online shopping options, have also impacted the market's growth. Many airports have integrated e-commerce solutions, allowing travelers to pre-order their duty-free products online and pick them up upon arrival or departure. This convenience has further boosted consumer interest, as it allows passengers to bypass crowded stores and secure their preferred products ahead of time. Moreover, airports are increasingly investing in innovative store designs and digital touchpoints to enhance the shopping experience, aligning with modern consumer behavior.
