The Global Beer Manufacturing industry has struggled due to shifts in its structure over the past five years. Rising disposable income during most of the period and consumers' shift from traditional products to higher-quality beer has underpinned rising beer consumption and strong volume growth in emerging markets. But declining per capita beer consumption and relatively flat volume growth have hampered revenue across China and traditional North American and European markets. This has been ameliorated by growth in high-value craft beers and foreign brands over the past five years. The coronavirus also contributed to industry difficulties, as demand from bars and restaurants plummeted in 2020. As a result, industry revenue is expected to decrease at a CAGR of 2.5% to $219.4 billion over the past five years, including an increase of 1.8% in 2023 alone. Further, industry profit has decreased during the period along with revenue.The industry has routinely consolidated to stimulate revenue growth in markets such as North America. Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (AB InBev) and SABMiller PLC (SABMiller) completed a $103.0 billion merger just prior to the current period, representing the largest alcoholic beverage merger in history. Experiencing sluggish growth in developed economies and seeking to expand into untapped regions, both AB InBev and SABMiller agreed to combine their product lines and distribution channels rather than compete. These moves have underpinned the shift in the industry's structure, which has experienced an increase in market share concentration despite a huge influx of operators driven by the boom of craft beer.Conditions in the industry are forecast to improve over the five years to 2028, although organic growth in sales of premium beer has been a constant concern for many of the industry's most prominent companies. The spate of consolidation over the past five years has helped the industry's major players reduce per-unit costs and alleviate some supply-side challenges, but the industry will ultimately have to address consumers' dwindling demand for light beer brands. The shift in tastes in mature markets will likely continue to pose a major threat. However, emerging markets are expected to grow and aid the industry's recovery. Ultimately, industry revenue is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 1.4% to $235.1 billion over the five years to 2028.
