Beer Market advances 5.6% in 2007; below 3% forecast for 2008. Global
beer consumption grew by 5.6% in 2007, but a sharp slowdown to less than

Logic’s latest “World Beer Report”. Ian
Pressnell, Director of Plato Logic commented: “globally, the
beer industry nevertheless continues to deliver steady volume growth.”
The “World Beer Report” also includes 2015 and 2020 consumption
forecasts for over 200 individual markets. “We forecast global beer
consumption to reach 2.4 billion hectolitres in 2020, according to our
latest projections”, continued Ian Pressnell. China

at 2007 in more detail, Plato Logic again found East Europe a key
growth region, where volumes advanced by 11.6% in 2007, following 8.9%
in 2006. The
results from South America as a whole were again strong in 2007 (+6.6%),
a fourth successive year of growth for the region. Africa recorded 8.7%
growth in 2007. Growth of PET Further
evidence of the dynamic nature of the global beer market can be found in
the latest packaging and distribution trends. For example, the volume of
beer sold in PET (including PEN) grew by about 20% in 2007. “We have
also identified the global channel split, with around 68% of all beer
volume now distributed through the take-home market”, commented Ian
Pressnell. Top Brands A
