India Beer Market - Industry Trends & Forecast Report, 2029
India beer market size was estimated at USD 14.47 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, the size of India beer market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.38% reaching a value of USD 23.45 billion by 2029. Major growth drivers for the India beer market include increasing consciousness surrounding imported and premium beer brands. Consumers are interested in trying new and unique beer types, indicating a willingness to invest in well-known, high-quality brands. The phenomenon is propelled by the swift pace of globalization, which has facilitated consumer access to a diverse spectrum of beers on a global scale, thereby augmenting their knowledge of various beer styles and fostering a penchant for new and intriguing options. Further contributing to the growth trajectory is the ascendancy of craft brewing, renowned for its production of singular, superior-quality beers that often command premium pricing compared to mass-produced counterparts. The advent of e-commerce has significantly eased the procurement process for consumers seeking imported and premium beers. Online retailers, distinguished by an extensive array of offerings and competitive pricing strategies, have supplanted traditional brick-and-mortar establishments in this regard. Also, the pervasive impact of social media is manifest in the realm of beer market dynamics. Consumers, leveraging platforms for social discourse, actively share their experiences and opinions concerning diverse beers. The increasing online conversations not only boost brand awareness but also help raise interest and demand for less popular beer brands.
India Beer Market – Overview
The India beer market refers to the economic domain and commercial activities associated with the production, distribution, sale, and consumption of beer within the geographical and market context of India. This market encompasses various facets, including the manufacturing and marketing of different beer types, the influence of consumer preferences, regulatory frameworks, and the competitive landscape among beer producers and distributors operating in India.
India Beer Market
Growth Drivers
Changing Lifestyle of Consumers
The dynamic growth of the India beer market is propelled by the evolving lifestyles of consumers. As societal trends and preferences undergo transformation, there is a notable surge in the demand for beer. This shift is particularly pronounced among consumers who are adapting their lifestyles to modern, dynamic routines. The inclination towards socializing and leisure activities, often accompanied by beer consumption, contributes significantly to market expansion. This changing lifestyle pattern, characterized by an increased openness to recreational and social indulgences, serves as a key driver for the burgeoning beer market in India.
Rising Expenditure Capacities of the Consumers
The India beer market is experiencing a surge in growth driven by the increasing expenditure capacities of consumers. As individuals have more disposable income, there is a notable uptick in beer consumption. This trend aligns with Kartikeya Sharma, the India president of Anheuser-Busch InBev, highlighting the importance of favorable taxation for market growth. Despite global beer popularity, India's consumption has been modest, standing below 350 million cases annually. Sharma suggests that if states adopt appropriate taxation policies, it could propel significant expansion. This underscores the crucial role of consumer spending power in shaping the upward trajectory of the India beer market.
Restraints
Stringent Regulations Impacting Alcohol Production and Distribution in India
The growth of the India beer market is constrained by stringent regulations governing the production, distribution, and sale of alcoholic beverages. These regulatory measures pose challenges to the industry, limiting its ability to expand and innovate. The complex and restrictive nature of these regulations hampers the operational flexibility of beer producers, impacting the overall market growth. Adherence to compliance standards becomes a significant barrier, affecting the efficiency and agility of businesses in the beer sector. As a result, the industry faces impediments in responding dynamically to market demands and consumer preferences, hindering its potential for robust growth.
Impact of COVID-19 on India Beer Market
COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the India beer market, causing production reductions, closure of taprooms, and disrupted supply chains. Lockdowns led to substantial losses in raw materials and finished products, while reverse migration and supply chain disruptions further strained the industry. Despite challenges, leading beer companies enhanced logistics, aiding market recovery. Opportunities for premiumization and online sales emerged, but on-premises establishments faced ongoing challenges due to liquor consumption bans. Job losses and reduced disposable incomes temporarily slowed the shift to beers and premium categories. However, the industry exhibited resilience, adapting to consumer preferences with the introduction of diverse beers, indicating a promising outlook in the medium to long term.
India Beer Market
Segmental Coverage
India Beer Market – By Product Type
By product type, the India beer market is divided into Standard Lager, Premium Lager, and Specialty Beer segments. The standard lager segment holds the highest share in the India beer market by product type. This segment, characterized by its traditional and widely consumed lagers, stands as the market leader. Standard lagers, with their broad consumer appeal and established market presence, outpace other beer categories in terms of market share. This dominance is attributed to the widespread popularity and familiarity of standard lagers among consumers, making it the preferred choice in the Indian beer market. As a result, the standard lager segment plays a pivotal role in shaping the overall market dynamics and preferences within the beer industry in India.
India Beer Market – By Production
Based on production, the India beer market is bifurcated into Macro-Brewery and Micro-Brewery segments. The macro-brewery segment holds a higher share in the India beer market by production. It can be attributed to their capacity for large-scale beer production and distribution. The Indian beer market is experiencing growth propelled by increasing disposable incomes, a rising preference for low-alcohol beverages, and heightened social acceptance. Market expansion is further driven by the introduction of new low-alcohol beer variants and technological advancements. Ongoing innovations by beer manufacturers in terms of flavors and quality contribute to a diverse beer landscape in India, catering to a broader target audience and stimulating heightened industry demand. Additionally, the introduction of online ordering, coupled with doorstep delivery services in select states, has the potential to further amplify industry growth.
India Beer Market – By Flavor
Based in flavor, the India beer market is split into Flavored and Non-flavored segments. The non-flavored segment holds a higher share in the India beer market. The increased preference for non-flavored beer is a result of the robust performance of super premium and premium beer brands in the industry. Notably, the rising fondness for alcoholic beverages among consumers during various celebrations and social and cultural events contributes to the market's growth in the country. Also, the ongoing urbanization process elevates stress levels among young adults, leading to an uptick in beer consumption and positively influencing the market.
India Beer Market – By Distribution Channel
Based on distribution channel, the India beer market is divided into Supermarkets & Hypermarkets, On-Trades, Specialty Stores, and Convenience Stores segments.
India Beer Market – By Region
Regionally, the India beer market is segmented as North India, South India, East India, and West India. South India holds the highest share in the India beer market during the forecast period. Hyderabad is gradually embracing a party culture, with beer sales thriving due to affordability, accessibility, and the perception of lower alcohol content. This trend propels market growth. Conversely, Andhra Pradesh has witnessed a decline in alcohol consumption over the past three years, attributed to periodic price hikes by the state government. In Chennai, the introduction of Japanese and German wheat beer brands, though pricier, aims to diversify choices. Continued launches of such products are aexpected to further stimulate market growth in the region during the forecast period.
