Beer in Japan


Total volume sales of beer in Japan decreased slightly from 2022 to 2023. Although on-trade sales saw a double-digit increase, maintaining the post-pandemic recovery trend started in 2022, the impact of the decline in off-trade sales, as consumers switched their preferred consumption channel, was more significant, and total volume sales therefore declined.
