UK Lager market to hit peak growth in 2013 says new report

According to the report ‘Breweries & the Beer Update: UK Market Report 2012’ the beer and brewery industry is one of the most established consumer markets in the UK. It consists of two clear sectors: lager, which is a bottom-fermented, light coloured carbonated beer; and dark beer, which is top-fermented and commonly known as ale. Lager has a significant share of the market in value terms, 71.5% at retail selling prices. In terms of volume, there is more parity in production, with the market split 56.8% to lager and 43.2% to dark beer.

Looking to the future, the beer industry appears set to maintain a stable position, however growth is likely to remain low, at steady rates for the next 5 years. The report predicts year-on-year growth in value terms to continue, while production levels will most likely fall despite the increase in niche markets and small independent breweries. The peak of growth for the market is set for 2013, with an increase of 1.9%, followed by smaller growth levels for the next 2 years.
