Craft Beer Market Outlook-2026

A significant rise has been witnessed in the consumption of beer by people aged between 18 and 25 years. According to the United Nations, the global youth population is expected to rise by 7% to 1.3 million before 2030, which in turn is expected to drive the craft beer market. The trend of drinking has been gaining acceptance across the globe due to financial independence and an increase in social & professional gatherings, which acts as the key driver of the market. In recent years, the developing and developed countries across the globe are witnessing rapid urbanization and improvement in their financial conditions. These factors have led to the overall rise in disposable income of people. In addition, improvements in lifestyle and changes in consumer preferences, especially among youngsters in developed economies such as Europe and North America, toward craft beer from traditional beer are expected to boost the growth of the global market. The population is gradually inclining toward sophisticated, moderated, and premium beverages, such as sparkling wine, English gin, Irish, Japanese whiskey, and others. Thus, consumer preference for premium alcoholic beverages has in turn triggered demand for craft beer. Over the past couple of years, consumers prefer to spend quality time in various hotels, restaurants, and cafés, which has resulted in rise in a number of on-premise facilities. The expansion of on-premise distribution channels along with the rise in disposable income considerably contributes toward the growth of the global market.

The global craft beer market size was valued at $108,912 million in 2018 and is expected to reach $186,590 million by 2025, registering a CAGR of 8.0% from 2018 to 2025.

 Over the past couple of years, there has been a rise in demand for various traditional beers, which includes craft beer as well. Craft beer is one of the main types of beer which is processed with a traditional or non-mechanized procedure by small breweries. The American Brewer Association (ABA) defines craft brewery as ‘small’, ‘independent’ and ‘traditional’. The Annual production of 6 million barrels of beer or less, refers to small craft brewery. Whereas in independent craft brewery, less than 25% of craft brewery is owned and controlled by a beverage alcohol industry member.

Craft Beer Market

The surge in demand for more beer styles coupled with increase in per capita income among the target customers has triggered the demand for craft beer in some of the key beer consuming regions. Craft beer is typically more expensive than standard lager beers. As a result, consumers with higher income are the prime customers for the global craft beer market. Higher incomes not only stimulates an increase in the demand for more expensive products but also stimulates the demand for more variety. It is thus, not surprising that the craft beer market expanded as incomes increased substantially in industrialized countries in the decades.

Craft Beer Market by Region

Beer in general has been the subject of many government regulations. Regulations serve several objectives such as enhancing government revenues through beer taxes, protecting consumer health, protecting society from alcohol abuse, reducing the price of bread grains, and constraining market power. Similarly, with the surge in demand for craft beers, governments have endured two-way interaction with rules and regulation. On one hand, regulations have stimulated, or constrained craft brewing compared to microbrewers. On the other hand, the growth of craft brewing has induced changes in regulations that have facilitated the subsequent entry of craft breweries.
