Further, the report states that Vendors in the global whiskey market face issues in complying with the stringent rules and regulations imposed by the various authorities in certain countries the vendors operate in. These regulations pertain to permits, regulations for the entry of new players, and the launch of new products. The number of regulations present in some countries is minimal and they are at times lenient, whereas in other countries the regulations are stringent and on the rise. In China, a large percentage of the whiskey consumed is through corporate gifting to officials contributing to the problem of corruption. Consequently, to keep a check on the rising corruption, the government in China in 2013, restricted gifting of expensive gifts to officials, which included whiskey, watches, and other luxury goods. This resulted in a 66% decline in the sales of whiskey in China in 2013. Also, most of the locally produced spirits are falsely labeled and sold as Scotch whisky, which is hampering the images of the brand and limiting sales.
