Developments in the global beer market in 2009
1.8 billion hectoliters of beer were produced worldwide in the year 2009. Production has remained fairly steady, but did drop slightly for the first time since 1992 – by almost 10 million hl. Almost all western industrial countries recorded a decrease in beer production volumes. The only “winner” was Asia again, which experienced growth of more than three percent. China was able to increase its production to above 423 million hl and therefore remains unchallenged in the international beer market with the largest production volume. The information was taken from the Barth Hop Report 2009/2010 published by the Barth-Haas Group.
