Beer is a carbonated and fermented alcoholic beverage manufactured from malted cereal grain, such as wheat, rye, corn, barley and rice, hops, yeast and water. Stout, lager, ale, malt and porter are some of the commonly available variants. Beer is a rich source of riboflavin, potassium, magnesium, folate, niacin and pyridoxine and can aid in preventing cardiovascular and circulatory disorders. Moderate consumption can also assist in reducing stress, strengthening muscles and improving cognitive functioning. It also prevents kidney stones and maintains normal blood pressure levels. Beer is usually stored and packaged in metal cans and glass bottles and produced in macro-, micro-and craft breweries.
The GCC beer market is primarily being driven by significant growth in the food and beverage industry across the region. Beer is widely used in restaurants, cafes and hotels to enhance the texture, flavor and aroma of meats and vegetables and impart delicate flavors to the dishes. The increasing brand consciousness among the masses and rising demand for high-quality and premium alcohols are also favoring the market growth. Moreover, the launch of beer in novel and exotic flavors, such as chocolate, orange, pineapple and strawberry is providing a thrust to the market growth. The increasing willingness of the consumers to try new products, such as processed and imported craft beer infused with spices is positively impacting the market growth. Other factors, including the rising expenditure capacities, along with the increasing consumer preference for beers with low alcoholic content, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth across the region.
