Key Market Trends Fueling Growth

The beer market in India is experiencing growth due to the rising demand for premium beer varieties. This trend is driven by the increasing per capita income, enabling consumers to afford higher-priced beer options. Premium beers, including craft beers, are preferred for their authentic taste and brand reputation. Heineken's recent launch of Heineken Silver in September 2022 underscores this trend. The growth of the beer market in India is expected to continue, fueled by the expanding presence of premium beer brands. 

The global beer market is experiencing notable trends in 2021. Well-known beer styles like Standard Lager, Premium Lager, Specialty Beer, Flavored, and Non-flavored continue to shape consumer preferences. Globalization has led to the expansion of Macro Breweries and Micro Breweries, with craft brewing gaining popularity due to its unique flavors and premium pricing. Online retailers and social media have increased brand awareness, while societal trends like disposable income, favorable taxation, and job losses impact beer consumption. Stringent regulations, production reductions, closure of taprooms, and disrupted supply chains due to lockdowns have affected both raw materials and finished products.

Market Challenges

• Beer faces significant competition from various substitutes in the market, including rum, vodka, whiskey, soft drinks, and energy drinks. While conventional alcoholic drinks serve the functional purpose of alcoholic beverages, non-alcoholic alternatives like soft drinks and energy drinks are gaining popularity due to their perceived health benefits and lower prices. The wide availability and affordability of these substitutes make them attractive options for consumers. Furthermore, government restrictions on alcohol advertising in India limit the marketing efforts for beer, providing an edge to non-alcoholic beverages. As a result, the availability of these substitutes may negatively impact the growth of the beer market during the forecast period.
• The beer market faces several challenges in various aspects of production and distribution. In brewing, issues like fermentation, clarification, priming, and pasteurization require constant attention. Production reduction due to manpower shortages in manufacturing industries affects breweries, leading to potential supply chain disruptions. Taprooms and dining rooms in breweries have been impacted by changing lifestyles and disposable incomes, especially among millennials. Procurement of raw materials and hops has become difficult due to disruptions in the supply chain. Canned beer with a longer shelf-life and convenient handling has gained popularity, while freshly brewed and on-tap beer continue to attract consumers. Tropical flavors and lower alcohol content are current beer market trends. Alcoholic beverages face competition from alcohol-free and flavored/unflavored beer. Breweries must adapt to these challenges by optimizing their processes, investing in automation, and exploring various packaging options such as glass, PET bottles, and metal cans. Macro brewery production focuses on high alcohol content, while micro breweries cater to low alcohol content and niche markets. The beer industry remains dynamic, requiring continuous innovation and flexibility.

1.1 Bottles-  The beer market is witnessing a shift in packaging preferences, with consumers favoring lightweight metal cans and sustainable options over traditional glass bottles. While brown-colored glass bottles have been the norm, metal cans offer convenience and adaptability to various social situations. However, some consumers and traditional breweries still prefer glass bottles due to their association with the brewing art and absence of bisphenol A (BPA). In June 2022, Carlsberg introduced eco-friendly Green Fiber Bottles, which are non-transparent, unbreakable, biodegradable, and have a recognizable fiber structure. These bottles are made from sustainably managed wood fibers and feature an impermeable coating instead of a plastic seal. The bottle segment's growth is anticipated to drive the beer market in India due to increasing consumer preference for sustainable packaging options.
