Significant changes in the social lifestyle of the working population have majorly contributed to the growth of the Asia-Pacific beer market. The rise in disposable income has led to high demand for premium and expensive beer among consumers. Social media, regional and local events, and advertising play a vital role in the artisan movement, leading to an increase in craft beer demand across the region. For example, BentSpoke Brewing's Crankshaft IPA retained its crown as Australia's favorite craft beer in the annual GABS Festival Hottest 100 beer countdown.

Due to its rich and lively flavor, different variants of beer are more appealing to millennials across the region. The market players are engaged in several product innovations as a result of the growing demand for beers among the young population and the region's growing desire for low-alcohol beers. Observing the immense growth potential in the Asia-Pacific region, international players are tapping the markets in developing economies such as India and China. Additionally, manufacturers have been experimenting and launching innovative products by drawing inspiration from the regional beverages of Asian countries. For example, in 2022, "Imagined in India," a limited edition of four seasonal beers inspired by regional ingredients and creative culture, was launched by the Indian brewery Bira 91. Bollywood IPA, Kokum Sour, Brown Ale, and Mango Lassi were among the beers offered. Bira's Wheat Ale and a "milkshake beer" were combined to create the Mango Lassi. Such innovations have piqued the interests of consumers and in turn contributed towards the growth of the market studied.
