Global Market Size in 2022: $793.74 billion

It comes as no surprise that beer is the most consumed alcohol in the world. In fact, after water and tea, beer is the most popular drink worldwide. In the 2022 brewing year, the global beer production ended up increasing slightly YoY by 1.3% to 1.89 billion hectoliters. However, the market is yet to return to its pre-pandemic levels, when production peaked at 1.91 billion hectoliters in 2019. 

The overall demand for premium and low-calorie beers, the rising popularity of craft beer, and the expansion of distribution networks in emerging markets are expected to continue driving growth in the global beer market over the next few years.
