Beer Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The global beer market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.62%, from US$832.012 billion in 2025 to US$1.04 trillion in 2030.

Beer is a widely consumed alcoholic beverage around the world. It's made by the fermentation of cereal, water, grains, and yeast for a specific amount of time. Herbs and fruits are frequently added to the drink to give it a distinctive taste and fragrance. Beer has an alcohol concentration that ranges from less than 3% to 40% by volume (ABV), depending on the style and ingredients used in the formulation. When consumed in moderation, beer has been demonstrated to help reduce heart and circulatory system diseases such as atherosclerosis, angina, stroke, and heart attack.

Beer, when compared to other alcoholic beverages, has a significant market share and is growing in popularity among millennials and Gen Z, thanks to its diverse formulations, flavors, and taste offerings. Initially, flavored beer was primarily consumed in Europe and North America, but its demand has been expanding worldwide in recent years, significantly benefiting the total beer industry. The introduction of innovative brewing technologies in developing nations has also positively impacted consumption habits. Furthermore, customers are increasingly seeking novel, varied, and delicious products, driving the beer market’s expansion.

Several primary reasons, including an increase in breweries worldwide and the rising global beer demand, are driving the global beer market. Additionally, the popularity of low-alcohol beverages has risen steadily, and revenues of no-alcohol and limited beer have increased in conjunction with the growing demand from health-conscious consumers. Changing consumer tastes as a result of the new products are also predicted to boost market expansion over the forecast period.

Another motivator is that low-alcohol beers are now less expensive than their high-alcohol counterparts, particularly those with an ABV of 2.8 percent or less. The situation is particularly prevalent in European countries such as Sweden, where brewers are attempting to improve the low alcohol by-product. However, provincial legislation restricting beer promotion stifles the entire market's expansion.
