Once viewed as a hobby, craft beer has evolved into one of the fastest-growing and most popular segments in the US alcoholic beverage market. However, the industry has reached a critical juncture over the past decade, with oversaturation and the emergence of numerous substitutes stalling revenue growth. The pandemic coincided with the normalization phase of craft brewery growth, resulting in significant volatility. Craft breweries struggled to maintain consistent growth after the pandemic, unlike some external competitors. Revenue has been declining at a CAGR of 3.8% over the past five years and is expected to drop by 1.9% in 2024 alone, bringing revenue to $7.2 billion.Craft breweries are limited to producing fewer than 6.0 million barrels of beer annually. A result of, even successful craft breweries remain relatively small compared to multinational beverage producers. With this mandated smaller scope, craft brewers depend heavily on in-house sales and demand from on-premise markets such as local bars and restaurants. As more craft brewers enter the market, competition based on price has intensified. While internal price-based competition is expected, few small breweries can effectively match the prices of larger producers. This disadvantage has weakened profit since 2019.Conditions will likely improve over the next five years, but craft breweries may struggle to reach pre-pandemic highs as the craft beer trend settles into normalization. Profitability is expected to plateau as consumers look towards craft spirits and nonalcoholic beverages to satisfy their evolving tastes. This shift will force brewers to reduce prices or climb spending to retain their market share. Brewers will continue introducing ancillary activities at taprooms to encourage in-person sales and build loyalty. Also, rising disposable income levels and decreases in excise taxes on beer will likely entice new breweries to enter the market. Revenue is predicted to climb at a CAGR of 0.7% over the next five years, reaching $7.5 billion by 2029.

Data Set Information This data set contains tasting profiles and consumer reviews for 3197 unique beers from 934 different breweries. It was created by integrating information from two existing data sets on Kaggle:

Beer Tasting Profiles Dataset 1.5 Million Beer Reviews The purpose of the data integration is to create a new data set that contains comprehensive consumer review (appearance, aroma, palate, taste and overall review scores) for different brews, combined with their detailed tasting profiles—this is that data set.

In the future it might be possible to go through and scrape more detailed information for each brew, such as the brewery's country of origin or brew recipe information such as its original gravity vs. final gravity.

Contents The main data set (beer_profile_and_ratings.csv) contains the following columns:

1 - Name: Beer name (label) 2 - Style: Beer Style 3 - Brewery: Brewery name 4 - Beer Name (Full): Complete beer name (Brewery + Brew Name) -- unique identifier for each beer 5 - Description: Notes on the beer if available 6 - ABV: Alcohol content of beer (% by volume) 7 - Min IBU: The minimum IBU value each beer can possess. IBU was not a value available for each beer, but the IBU range for each style was 8 - Max IBU: The maximum IBU value each beer can possess. IBU was not a value available for each beer, but the IBU range for each style was

The next eleven columns represent the tasting profile features of the beer, and are defined by word counts found in up to 25 reviews of each beer. The assumption is that people writing reviews are more than likely describing what they do experience rather than what they do not. (Refer to the file Beer Descriptors Simplified to see the list of words that are used to calculate the values contained in each of the feature columns below)

(Mouthfeel) 9 - Astringency 10 - Body 11 - Alcohol

(Taste) 12 - Bitter 13 - Sweet 14 - Sour 15 - Salty

(Flavor And Aroma) 16 - Fruits 17 - Hoppy 18 - Spices 19 - Malty

The last six columns contain information from beer reviews--they include the number (count) of consumer/user reviews, the average overall rating score, and the average rating scores for the aroma, appearance, palate, and taste of each individual beer.

20 - review _ aroma 21 - review _ appearance 22 - review _ palate 23 - review _ taste 24 - review _ overall 25 - number _ of _ reviews

The next two files (Brewery Name Fuzzy Match List.csv and Beer Name Fuzzy Match List.csv) only contain lists of breweries and beers that are found in both source datasets--and consequently, included in this dataset. To see the data integration process in more details, check out this notebook.

Growing Consumer Interest in Craft and Specialty Beers helps in the Growth of the Market

Over the past few decades, there has been a shift in consumer preferences from mass-produced, generic beers to more diverse and flavorful options. This shift has fueled the rise of the craft beer movement and contributed to the growth of the brewing market. Consumers are increasingly seeking unique and innovative flavor profiles in their beverages. Craft breweries often experiment with various ingredients, such as hops, malts, fruits, spices, and even unconventional additives, to create distinctive and exciting beer offerings. Consumers are drawn to the artisanal and locally crafted nature of craft beers. These beers often have a strong sense of place, as they may incorporate locally sourced ingredients and reflect the regional brewing traditions.

Over the past several years, there has been an upsurge in the demand for traditional beer, especially craft beer. On average, small breweries produce 6 million barrels or fewer of beer yearly. The necessity for pricey items for consumption and the rising income of its users are two of the most significant elements in the rising demand. Craft beer is more expensive than conventional beer, increasing demand for greater variety and quality goods among high incomes.

The Factors are Restricting Growth of Brewing Market

Regulatory Obstacles and Standards for Compliance Hinder Market Growth

Regulatory challenges and compliance requirements can hinder the growth and expansion of breweries, especially smaller and newer ones. The need to allocate resources for understanding, interpreting, and adhering to various regulations can divert time and funds from other business activities. Moreover, these challenges can impact innovation, product development, and market entry for breweries seeking to enter new regions or markets. Addressing regulatory challenges often requires legal expertise, resources, and ongoing diligence to ensure that breweries remain compliant with evolving laws and policies, which can sometimes hinder market growth and expansion.

Restrictions on movement, lockdowns, and border closures disrupted supply chains for brewing ingredients, packaging materials, and equipment. This led to challenges in sourcing raw materials and maintaining production levels. Many countries implemented lockdowns and restrictions on public gatherings, closing bars, restaurants, and taprooms. This led to a sharp decline in on-premises consumption and revenue loss for breweries heavily reliant on these channels. With the closure of on-premises venues, there was a shift in consumer behavior towards off-premises consumption, including purchasing beer from liquor stores and online platforms. Breweries adapted by focusing on packaged products for retail distribution. Introduction of Brewing

Brewing is the process of producing alcoholic beverages, primarily beer, through the fermentation of various ingredients, typically including water, malted barley or other grains, hops, and yeast. The brewing process involves combining these ingredients in specific proportions, followed by controlled fermentation, which converts the sugars in the malted grains into alcohol and carbon dioxide, resulting in the final beer product. The rise of the brewing market is driven by a combination of consumer preferences for variety and quality, a focus on local and artisanal products, and the spirit of innovation and collaboration. The brewing industry's ability to adapt to changing trends and cater to evolving consumer demands has positioned it as a dynamic and growing sector within the broader beverage landscape.

For instance, in August 2023, the Brewers Association (BA), the trade group for small and independent American craft brewers, announced the findings of its midyear poll, providing insight into the sector's status and signaling confidence for the remainder of the year. The industry is leveling out after years of exp...

Craft Beer Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global craft beer market size in 2024 stands at USD 113.7 billion, demonstrating robust momentum fueled by evolving consumer preferences and the premiumization trend in the alcoholic beverages sector. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2025 to 2033, reaching a projected value of approximately USD 225.6 billion by the end of the forecast period. This remarkable expansion is driven by a surge in demand for unique flavors, artisanal brewing techniques, and an increasing shift towards locally produced beverages, as per our latest research findings.

The growth trajectory of the craft beer market is predominantly underpinned by the rising consumer inclination towards premium and innovative alcoholic beverages. Modern consumers, especially millennials and Gen Z, are seeking richer taste profiles and diverse flavor experiences that mass-produced beers often fail to deliver. This shift is encouraging microbreweries and independent craft brewers to experiment with ingredients, brewing methods, and packaging, thereby offering a plethora of options to discerning drinkers. Furthermore, the growing awareness about the provenance and authenticity of beverages is prompting consumers to choose craft beers that emphasize local sourcing and sustainable practices, reinforcing the market’s upward momentum.

Another significant growth driver is the expanding presence of craft beer in both on-trade and off-trade distribution channels. Bars, pubs, restaurants, and specialty stores are increasingly dedicating shelf space and tap lines to craft beer brands, responding to mounting consumer demand. The proliferation of craft beer festivals, tasting events, and brewery tours is also playing a pivotal role in enhancing brand visibility and consumer engagement. Additionally, the adoption of innovative packaging formats such as cans and kegs is making craft beer more accessible and attractive to new segments of the market, particularly younger adults who value convenience and sustainability.

The global craft beer market is also benefiting from supportive regulatory frameworks and government initiatives in key regions. Many countries are relaxing licensing norms and offering incentives for small-scale breweries, which is encouraging entrepreneurship and fostering healthy competition. The rise of e-commerce platforms and direct-to-consumer sales channels is further enabling craft brewers to reach a broader audience beyond their local markets. This digital transformation is streamlining supply chains, reducing overheads, and allowing for greater product customization, all of which are contributing to the sustained growth of the craft beer industry.

Regionally, North America and Europe remain the dominant markets, collectively accounting for over 65% of global sales in 2024. However, the Asia Pacific region is emerging as a high-potential market, with countries like China, Japan, and Australia witnessing a surge in craft beer consumption. The growing urban middle class, increasing disposable incomes, and a burgeoning bar and restaurant culture are catalyzing market growth in these regions. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa, while still nascent, are showing promising signs of adoption, driven by changing lifestyles and greater exposure to global beverage trends.

Product Type Analysis

The craft beer market is segmented by product type into ales, lagers, stouts & porters, and others, each contributing uniquely to the market’s overall growth. Ales, particularly India Pale Ales (IPAs), have enjoyed significant popularity due to their bold flavors, aromatic hops, and versatility in food pairings. Consumers in mature markets such as the United States and the United Kingdom have exhibited a strong preference for ales, which has prompted breweries to continuously innovate with new hop varieties, barrel aging, and adjunct ingredients. This segment’s dynamism is further accentuated

The global beer market, valued at $9.17 billion in 2025, is projected to experience robust growth, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% from 2025 to 2033.
