Market Overview:
The global light beer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to factors such as rising disposable income, changing lifestyle and increasing demand for low-calorie and low-alcoholic beverages. In terms of type, the limit fermentation segment is expected to lead the global light beer market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to technological advancements in this segment that have resulted in production of light beers with lower calorie content as compared to traditional beers. By application, man is expected to lead the global light beer market during the forecast period owing to growing trend of consuming alcoholic beverages among men across different regions.
Product Definition:
Light beer is a type of beer that has a lower alcohol content than other types of beer.
Limit Fermentation:
The fermentation process is carried out at a specific temperature (20-22 °C), pressure (0.0004 kg/cm2) and with the presence of a particular microorganism, which results in the conversion of sugar into ethanol, carbon dioxide and other compounds. The most commonly used microorganisms are yeast, bacteria and fungi.
Dealcoholization Method:
The dealcoholization method is used to increase the strength of beer by removing some of the alcohol content. It works by changing the composition of a liquid mixture, thereby reducing its density. The process allows for lower taxes and tariffs as well as reduced import costs, which makes it attractive for manufacturers in developing countries like India and China.
The global light beer market was valued at USD 25 billion in 2015.
Application Insights:
The man application segment led the global light beer market in 2017. This is attributed to increasing consumption of alcohol by men as a social lubricant and companion, which has been witnessing a rise over the past few years. The rising trend can be witnessed from countries like India, China and Australia where majority of male population drinks beer or other similar alcoholic beverages on daily basis.
Light lager is also considered as an ideal beverage for people who are lactose intolerant since it contains lower amount of lactose compared to other traditional beers which have higher alcohol content. Thus, many manufacturers are focusing on producing low-alcoholic beverages targeting at this group of consumers who prefer drinking options with less calories and carbohydrates but high in taste and alcohol percentage.
Regional Analysis:
Europe dominated the global light beer market in 2017 with more than 35.0% share of the total revenue. Germany, U.K., Poland, and Russia are some of the largest consumers of this product in Europe due to high demand for low alcohol content beers from these countries. The rising popularity and demand for craft beer among millennials is also expected to drive growth over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing consumption trends across emerging economies such as China and India that have a large millennial population group looking for different types of light beers with less alcohol content than regular ones; hence driving market growth in this region during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030 (calendar year). Moreover, increased production capacity by major breweries including Heineken International (China) Ltd.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for low-calorie and light beer products as a result of the growing obesity epidemic in many countries.
- A shift in consumer preferences towards more premium light beers, as consumers become more discerning about the quality of their beer drinking experience.
- Innovations in brewing techniques and flavor profiles that create new opportunities for light beers to appeal to a wider range of consumers.
- The increasing popularity of craft beer, which has helped to redefine what constitutes a "light" beer product and opened up new market segments for lighter brews.
- An overall increase in global alcohol consumption, as drinkers seek out lighter options to balance out heavier styles
