Brewers Industry Description

Companies that produce, market, and/or distribute beer and beer-related beverages.

Summary

Characterized by mature markets and low growth, the alcoholic beverage industry struggles against a global health kick and heavy price competition. Although it is in a close race with wine, beer remains the industry's top seller, and major brands are growing slowly. As a result, many global brewers are merging operations to reduce costs and gain market share.
