According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is (shocker) the growing prominence of craft beer. And a big part of that now is how large brewers are expanding to the craft beer market, says the report. Many large beer companies are entering the markets in developing countries because of its growing popularity and the increasing consumption of craft beer. Large companies are building their craft beer brands or buying craft beer brands to gain a share of the marketing and distribution network of small brewers.
Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of the craft beer market is presence of substitutes. The craft beer market and the beer market are facing intense competition from other types of alcohol beverages such as wine and spirits. This is because the demand and consumption of wine and spirits are high globally. A wide range of spirits such as whiskey, scotch and vodka attract a large number of individuals.
