Global Beer Market Report and Forecast 2023-2028


Market Outlook

According to the report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the global beer market reached a value of almost USD 630.71 billion in 2022. Aided by the increasing consumer inclination towards diverse alcoholic beverages and the burgeoning craft beer movement, the market is projected to further grow at a CAGR of 3% between 2023 and 2028 to reach a value of USD 753.13 billion by 2028.

Beer, a seasoned favourite among alcoholic beverages, has origins spanning millennia. It's crafted primarily from water, malted barley, hops, and yeast. The beverage is lauded not only for its refreshing taste and potential to complement a plethora of cuisines but also for its moderate alcohol content, which makes it a popular choice for social gatherings. Beyond its sensory appeal, beer, when consumed responsibly, has been linked to certain health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health and denser bone structure.

A salient driver steering the global beer market growth is the evolving consumer palate, craving variety and unique flavours. This preference is evident in the soaring popularity of craft beers, brewed in microbreweries, which prioritise flavour profiles, traditional methods, and artisanal ingredients. The rise of craft beer reflects a larger societal shift towards valuing authenticity, provenance, and artisanal quality in consumables.

Another contributing factor to beer's enduring appeal is its deep-rooted cultural significance across various global communities. From the beer halls of Germany to the taprooms of Belgium and the pubs of Britain, beer is more than a beverage; it's a symbol of heritage, camaraderie, and festivity. Celebrations like Oktoberfest in Munich underscore the cultural and economic heft beer possesses.

The global beer market demand is also witnessing a surge in experimental brews, be it through infusions of exotic ingredients, barrel aging, or hybrid brewing techniques. The industry's innovation isn’t limited to flavours alone. Sustainability-driven brewing, which focuses on water conservation, renewable energy, and waste reduction, is gaining momentum, appealing to the eco-conscious beer aficionado.

Furthermore, advancements in distribution channels, with a distinct shift towards e-commerce platforms, especially post the pandemic era, have eased the global accessibility of varied beer brands, styles, and flavours. This seamless availability, combined with aggressive marketing strategies by beer giants, is instrumental in impacting the beer market outlook positively.
