Asia holds a 31% share of the global beer market, remaining the world’s largest beer-consuming region over the last 14 years.

ChinaĀ was the largest beer-consuming country for the 19th consecutive year.

The tradition of brewing and enjoying beer in China spans approximately nine millennia. Recent archaeological discoveries haveĀ revealedĀ that as far back as 7000 BC, ancient Chinese communities were engaged in producing beer-like alcoholic beverages, primarily on a small and localized basis.

China was also theĀ leading producerĀ of beer in 2022, followed by the United States.

Beer Consumption Per Capita

The Czech Republic remains the leader in per capita beer drinking for the 29th year. In 2021, the average Czech drank more than 184 liters of beer.

The Czech Republic is known for its affordable beer. In some parts of the country, beer can evenĀ cost lessĀ than bottled water.

Small Brewers and Technology

Beer production is expected to rise over the next decade, boosted by new smaller brewers, particularly in Western countries.

According to Future Market Insights, the global beer market isĀ projectedĀ to be valued at $690 billion in 2023, rising to $996 billion by 2033.
