Craft beer refers to a type of alcoholic beverage produced in a traditional or non-mechanized way by a small, independent microbrewery. Some commonly consumed craft beer varieties include lagers, ales, wheat beers, wild/sour beers, stouts, hybrid, and other specialty beers. It is a rich source of silicon, antioxidants, protein, and vitamin B complex and, thus, offers several health benefits. It also has a richer and more distinct taste than the mass-produced beer manufactured by large breweries. In recent years, craft beer has gained traction across the globe as it is manufactured using natural ingredients and has a higher alcohol by volume (ABV) content and lower cost.

Craft Beer Market Trends:
The escalating demand for low-alcohol beverages and the rising number of health-conscious consumers represent the primary factors driving the market growth. Besides this, the growing number of restaurants, lounges, bars, and pubs serving alcoholic beverages due to the increasing socialization trends is another major growth-inducing factor. Additionally, there has been a significant shift toward low ABV beers and ciders due to the rising awareness regarding alcohol unit consumption among the masses. Along with this, consumers, especially the young population, are now willing to try out new beverages, which is catalyzing the product demand. As a result, several key players are introducing a wider choice of flavors, such as sweet and sour, spicy, honey-like, and fruity, with enhanced taste to attract more consumers and expand their product portfolio. Moreover, the incorporation of go-green technology and innovative methods into the craft beer manufacturing process to minimize water usage and wastage is propelling the market growth. Other factors, including the rising popularity of non-alcoholic craft beer, ongoing research and development (R&D) activities, and changing consumption patterns, are also creating a positive outlook for the market.
