Beer has gained immense popularity in recent years as this beverage is low on alcohol and has many health benefits when taken in moderation. A growing percentage of millennials and Gen Z are increasing their consumption of beverages that have a low Alcohol by Volume (ABV), which has further boosted the sales of this drink. New brewing technologies are also being developed by prominent companies in developing countries. This has created a positive influence on the consumption of beer in these nations. Moreover, the rising demand for innovative beers that come in bold and unconventional flavors is expected to augment the beer market growth.

COVID-19 Pandemic Negatively Affected Product Sales Due to Closure of Restaurants and Bars

The COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc in many industries across the globe as supply chains were severely disrupted due to the imposition of movement restrictions and lockdowns. These restrictions forced restaurant and bar owners to shut down their operations, which dampened the demand for low alcoholic beverages, such as beer. A vast majority of retail outlets were closed during this period, which further hampered the sales of different types of beers. According to data published by The Brewers of Europe, the government-enforced COVID-19 measures had a disproportionate effect on restaurants and bars, causing a 42% decline in beer sales across the region. These factors negatively impacted the market forecast during the pandemic.

Growing Socialization to Boost Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages

Alcohol has always played an integral role in several social engagements and interactions. This trend is still gaining immense traction, especially after the COVID-19 era, as more people have started going outdoors to dine out at restaurants and visit pubs. This factor has spurred the production of bold flavored drinks to cater to the growing demand for beverages that come in unconventional flavors. Beer is considered one of the most popular alcoholic drinks, and the rising inclination toward beverages with low alcohol content will further boost the popularity of this product. This will again enhance the demand for this alcoholic drink in the coming years.
