Beer Market by Type (Lager, Ale, Stout & Porter and Others), Ingredient, Flavor, Alcohol Content, Production, Category, Distribution Channel, Packaging and Geography - Global Industry Analysis, Opportunities and Forecast up to 2026

The global beer market size was valued at $562.5 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $703.6 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period.

• The beer market has a promising growth potential due to several factors which includes the rise in disposable income and increase in consumer preferences for beer over other alcoholic beverages.

• Additionally, surge in female drinkers and unprecedented rise in youth population fuel the growth of the beer market. For example, According to United Nations (2013) World Population Prospect, the global youth population is anticipated to reach 1.3 billion by 2030.

• However, the rise in prices is associated with a disrupted supply chain and huge raw material costs and end product transportation due to the limited availability of raw materials are expected to restrain the beer market growth.

Beer is an alcoholic beverage created from malt that has been fermented with yeast and flavoured with hops. Beer is made from four fundamental ingredients: malted cereal grains, hops, water, and yeast, and it is fermented over a period of time. In addition, beer contains flavouring elements such as herbs and fruits. Herbs and fruits are frequently added to the drink to give it a distinct flavour and scent. Beer has an alcohol concentration that ranges from less than 3% to 40% by volume (ABV), depending on the style and recipe of the formulation. Beer has been shown to help prevent disorders of the heart and circulatory system, such as atherosclerosis, angina, stroke, and heart attack, when consumed in moderation. Hops are a plant and flower that give beer its bitter flavour. The beer industry is now a global enterprise with thousands of smaller breweries and several international firms.

By Packaging, Glass Segment to Lead the Market

The glass segment has the largest market share and is predicted to increase at a healthy CAGR during the forecast period. Glass bottle packaging will continue to be in high demand as consumers' first option for dependable, healthy, sustainable, and quality beer. Because glass is sturdy, nonporous, oxygen-impervious, and heat-resistant, it maintains and exhibits beer flavour exactly as intended, which is why consumers prefer beer in glass bottles.

Glassware comes in a variety of forms that represent different customs, folk art, serving sizes, and stacking. In commercial breweries, drinkware manufacturers include these designs into their product varieties. Glasses of various shapes and sizes are used to improve the look, head, and aroma of the beer. Customers choose a glass that will compliment their beverage of choice.

By Geography, Asia Pacific Region is Projected to Strong Presence in the Global Market

Asia-Pacific has a wide range of beers available in the market with each one having its own characteristic taste and flavor. Lagers, stouts and porters, ales, and seasonal specials are among them. Due to increased demand from nations like as India and China, the market has seen tremendous expansion. The development of the beer-loving youth population in India has resulted in a significant increase in beer consumption. In Asia-Pacific, changes in lifestyles and consumer preferences have boosted beer consumption significantly. Furthermore, a large growth in the number of working-class people in this region, as well as an increase in disposable income, has promoted the adoption of premium and high-quality beers.
