2020: Global beer market declined 6.8% to 187.69 million kiloliters
The volume of the global beer market at the end of 2020 reached 187.69 million kiloliters, which is 6.8% less than in 2019. Such data in August 2021 Euromonitor International UK presented in an analytical company.
The largest beer producer for 2020 is the Belgian company Anheiser Bush InBev, which accounted for 26.5% of the market, which is 0.6 percentage points more compared to 2019. In second place is Heineken, which is quite far behind the leader with a share of 10.9% (-0.2 pp by 2019).
It entered the top 3 brewing companies in terms of production, Carlsberg which ended 2020 with a result of 6.1%. Next are Huajun Beer () China and Molson Coors USA (), whose shares at the end of 2020 were equal to 5.7% and 4.5%, respectively.
The fall of the beer market in 2020 was largely due to the lockdowns and restrictions imposed by the authorities of the countries to combat the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) infection. In particular, one of these measures was the temporary closure of bars and restaurants, due to which some establishments were forced to completely curtail.
In Europe, the largest reduction in beer production in 2020 compared to 2019 was recorded in Italy (-46%), Croatia (-29%), Spain (-14%) and Germany (-6.6%). The volume of foam drink production increased in Slovenia (+ 25%), France (+ 3%), Greece (+ 3%) and Lithuania (+ 3%).
At the same time, Germany remains the leader among the EU countries in the field of beer production: 24% of this drink produced in the EU falls on Germany, 12% - on Poland and 10% - on Spain.
According to Rosstat, beer production in Russia in 2020 increased by 3.3% compared to 2019 and amounted to 795 million decaliters.[1]world[2]
