AB-InBev sold less beer in 2024 as China weakness persists
Belgium | AB-InBev sold less beer than analysts expected in the fourth quarter 2024, dragged down by lingering weakness in China. Volume sales in China fell 19 percent in the fourth quarter, marking the third consecutive quarter of double-digit declines there. The brewer said on 26 February that its Chinese business underperformed in a soft beer market, as budget-conscious consumers spent less money in bars and restaurants.
