World Brewers Table announced (provisional/pro forma)
According to latest figures released by beer
market specialists Plato Logic, the
World Beer market was essentially flat in 2013 (provisional). Ian Pressnell,
Director of Plato Logic, commented: “The global beer market suffered from low
growth in China, compounded by declines in USA, Brazil, Russia and Germany.
These are the world’s 5 biggest beer markets, accounting for over 50% of global
beer consumption.”
However Plato Logic’s latest projections see a
return to growth in the range 2.5-3.0% in 2014. “We would not expect results in
these 5 countries to converge as they did in 2013; we expect both USA and Brazil
to return to growth and Russia to stabilise.”
The current results season is expected to
highlight prospects in the emerging markets. As recent research from
Plato Logic has shown, the
‘emerging’ beer markets (*Plato Logic definition) overtook the ‘mature’ beer
markets in 1999 and were already twice as big by 2011.
Ian Pressnell, Director of Plato Logic
commented: “The ‘emerging’ beer markets remain key to growth. China is already
25% of the world beer market by volume and we expect the market to grow further.
Vietnam and India are also forecast to be among the Top 10 beer markets in
2025.”
