The shift of the drinking culture to home has led to the growing trend of in-house bars and the increasing consumption of alcohol at home, thereby boosting the sales of bar tools. Bar tools are being increasingly used to prepare cocktails and mocktails at home.

Based on type, the global bar tools market is segmented into cocktail glasses, cocktail shakers, bottle openers, bar tool sets, and others. In 2020, the bar tool sets segment led the bar tools market. The bar tool set is a set of various bar tools together at a discounted price, and the tools included in a bar tool set vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

The bar tools market, based on geography, is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SCAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA). In 2020, North America dominated the global market. The changing lifestyle of consumers and the growing health awareness have led to an increasing preference for low-alcoholic drinks such as cocktails, driving the demand for bar tools in North America. Stylish cocktail glasses are used for providing an aesthetic and elegant look to the in-house bars. Moreover, consumers are increasingly focusing on mixing and creating new drinks at home, leading to a rise in demand for bar tools such as cocktails or wine shakers, bar spoons, and a measuring jigger. Europe is the second-largest market for bar tools, and Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the bar tools market.

Many industries, such as the consumer goods industry, faced unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The economies are reviving their operations, and the demand for bar tools is expected to rise globally in the coming years. Key manufacturers have resumed their operations, thereby restoring the production capacity of bar tools.
