Beer is one of the most consumed alcoholic drinks prepared using malted grain, water, sugar, yeast, and hops. The beer manufacturing process mainly comprises four steps: extracting raw materials with water, boiling with hops, fermentation of starches, and conditioning. These starches are usually obtained from a combination of cereal grains, such as barley, wheat, corn, rice, and oats. They are then brewed with hops in breweries, which serve as a natural preservative and stabilizer. During the brewing process, this mixture then undergoes fermentation using yeast, which consumes sugar and produces ethanol and carbon dioxide in the resulting beer.
This popular alcoholic beverage is characterized by a distinct bitter taste and a golden to golden-brown color. Beer is widely available in different alcohol content levels, ranging from less than 3% to 40% ABV, depending on the recipe and style used during manufacturing. The moderate consumption of beer has been associated with various health benefits, such as preventing cardiovascular and circulatory diseases, minimizing the risk of Type 2 diabetes, maintaining cognitive function with age, and preventing ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori.
In recent years, beer has witnessed significant growth in demand and consumption by individuals across the globe due to the emerging trend of socializing and partying. This can be attributed to its increasing acceptance as a social drink best enjoyed with friends or at social gatherings. Additionally, with numerous craft breweries offering taprooms or brewpubs where people can come together to try out different beer samples and socialize, there is a surge in the craft beer culture, which is further contributing to the socializing trend. In line with this, the shifting consumer preferences toward premium beers with better quality ingredients, unique flavors, and a more sophisticated image, unlike traditional mass-produced beers, is augmenting product sales worldwide. This is further supported by the rising willingness of individuals to pay more for premium variants, as they are often perceived as a quality and more enjoyable drinking experience. Moreover, there has been a substantial surge in demand for beers made from natural and organic ingredients owing to the growing adoption of healthier and more conscious consumption habits. As a result, many breweries are introducing organic and low-calorie beer variants to cater to the diversified preferences of a rapidly growing customer base. In line with this, the escalating use of beer as a cocktail ingredient in distilleries is propelling market growth. Besides this, the launch of flavored beer in novel variants, such as fruit and botanical, coupled with the easy product availability via e-commerce platforms, aggressive promotional activities by key players, and inflating consumer expenditure capacities are other factors creating a positive market outlook.
Beer Market Analysis:
The beer industry is experiencing consistent growth fueled by growing consumer demand for varied tastes, craft beers and low-alcohol products. Advances in brewing processes, ecofriendly production and improved packaging solutions drive market growth. For instance, being the first brewery in Louisiana to use biodegradable, compostable, and even edible rings for its beer packaging, Flying Tiger Brewery has established the standard for environmentally friendly beer packaging in October 2023.. Growing social drinking culture and a trend toward premium and specialty beers also fuel demand.
Customers are switching to healthier versions such as gluten-free and non-alcoholic beers where brewers are then trying out alternative ingredients and styles of brewing. For instance, in December 2023, Darling Brew in South Africa announced the launch ‘BREAK FREE’ Gluten-Free Lager combining taste and sustainability. Designed for those with dietary restrictions it boasts a unique flavor profile without gluten. Locally made and artisan products are also growing in demand with breweries highlighting originality and interesting flavor profiles as a way of appealing to new consumers.
Beer Market Trends:
Growing Demand for Craft and Specialty Beers
Demand for specialty and craft beers is fueled by consumers looking for distinctive flavors, premium ingredients and artisanal brewing processes. Small-batch brewing enables brewers to innovate with new styles such as barrel-aged, sour and hop-forward beers. For instance, in September 2024, Optimistic Capital launched India’s first microbrewery-focused fund worth Rs 200 crore aiming to capitalize on the country's craft beer boom. With projections of over 1,000 microbreweries by 2030 the fund targets cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune responding to rising consumer demand for craft beers and unique dining experiences. Authenticity, local ingredients and handcrafted brewing processes are appreciated by consumers driving the popularity of independent breweries. Personalized beer experiences e.g., brewery taprooms and beer subscription further contribute to increased demand. This trend indicates a move toward premium, flavored and differentiated beers.
Rise of Low-Alcohol and Non-Alcoholic Beers
The increase in low-alcohol and non-alcoholic beers is fueled by increasing health awareness and lifestyle transitions towards moderation. For instance, in October 2024, Tom Holland launched Bero a non-alcoholic beer brand after experiencing a transformative journey with sobriety. Holland partnered with brewery Grant Wood to create three beers: Kingston Golden Pils, Edge Hill Hazy IPA and Noon Wheat targeting the growing alcohol-free market. Consumers are looking for beers with lower alcohol content yet retaining flavor and refreshment. Breweries match this with improved brewing methods, e.g., controlled fermentation and alcohol-removing processes, to produce quality substitutes. Functional benefits such as lower calorie levels and hydration further boost appeal. Growing retail penetration, word of mouth from the fitness communities, and evolving social norms about alcohol consumption all serve to drive up demand for these products.
