Market Overview
The global beer market is projected to register a CAGR of 2.7% during the forecast period (2022-2027).
The COVID-19 pandemic created a spike in the prices of domestically manufactured and imported products. The rise in prices was due to the disrupted supply chain, which increased the raw material costs and end-product transportation costs. There was also limited availability of raw materials due to production halts and labor shortages across developing countries. However, the market has grown recently, as consumers have largely preferred in-home consumption amid the closure of bars, pubs, and restaurants. Similarly, the sales of cans and pint beer have witnessed an overwhelming demand due to the convenience they offer.
Over the medium term, the changing lifestyles, increasing consumption rate of alcoholic drinks, rapid urbanization, high disposable incomes, and popularity of beer among the youth may drive the global beer market.
The introduction of new ingredients and innovative combinations combining salty, fruity, and tart flavors in craft beers has increased their appeal among the millennial crowd.

Key Market Trends
Growing Preference for Low Alcohol by Volume (ABV)
The growing number of breweries across the world and the rising demand for beer worldwide are some of the major factors driving the global beer market. There has been a consistent growth in the preference for low alcohol by volume beverages. Also, the sales of no-alcohol and low-alcohol beers have been rising due to the growing interest from health-conscious consumers. The other factors supporting the market growth are the launches of new and innovative products. Furthermore, low-alcohol beers are now cheaper than their high-alcohol equivalents, especially those with 2.8% ABV and lower. The scenario is more prevalent in European countries, like Sweden, where brewers are seeking to bring changes to the low alcohol by volume beer market.

North America to Dominate the Market
The rapid expansion of breweries in the United States has contributed to the growth of the beer market across the region. According to the Brewers Association, in the United States, there were 8,884 breweries in 2020. Also, the number of breweries witnessed a growth rate of 12.9% during 2016-2020. Most breweries in the United States have introduced their own unique beers. This has allowed customers to try out new flavors. The flavor sets one beer apart from another and acts as a point of differentiation for the consumers. Millennials, one of the largest demographics in the US population, are a targeted segment for breweries. The increasing preference of millennials for flavored beers has resulted in breweries adopting and incorporating newer flavors in their beer offerings. For instance, Constellation Brands introduced passionfruit lime, guava lime, and coconut lime flavors under the brand Corona Refresca, targeted at millennials in the United States.
