Europe Black Beer Market

Growth Drivers

Increasing awareness of craft beers among consumers

The surging demand for craft beer among premium drinkers and millennial is expanding the market for black beer manufacturing. A substantial number of local breweries have grown throughout time, propelling the production of black beer, which is widely handled in microbreweries. The availability of diverse flavors and tastes is moving customer preferences away from conventional, standard beers and toward these unique flavored craft brews. Furthermore, rising disposable income and growing urbanization are boosting market demand for fermented drinks and alcoholic beverages, resulting in an increase in demand for black beer.

Restraints

High consumption of alcoholic beverages leading to ill health

Campaigns against alcohol consumption are one of the hurdles to the expansion of the Europe black beer market. Due to the rising prevalence of alcohol addiction and alcohol-related accidents, numerous governmental and social groups have launched anti-alcohol campaigns.

Impact of COVID-19 on Europe Black Beer Market

COVID 19 had a detrimental effect on black beer market due to decreased demand, economic recession, and less activity. In addition, due to the lockdowns and travel restrictions imposed to control the spread of the virus, pubs and restaurants were closed, resulting in a fall in hospitality sales. As a result, consumption and government revenue decreased. As a result, the overall supply of Europe's black beer market was disrupted. However, as firms gain traction, breweries are witnessing rising demand. Breweries have begun to recover because of lower COVID-19 infections and vaccinations, allowing for a gradual easing of restrictions. The online trade and offline distribution channels improved. The market has gained traction because of changes in legislation, business practices, and consumption patterns, propelling the expansion of Europe black beer market.

Segmental Coverage

Europe Black Beer Market – By Product Type

Based on product type, Europe black beer market is divided into Dark Lager, Dark Ale, Brown Porter, and Stout. The dark lager segment held the highest market share during the forecast period. Dark lagers are brewed at low temperatures using bottom-fermenting yeast, whereas dark ales are made at high temperatures. The ease with which dark lagers can be produced is predicted to enhance supply. Furthermore, dark lagers are less likely to pollute the environment, encouraging local and international microbreweries to produce more lagers rather than ales. Furthermore, due to their smoother, sharper, and cleaner taste, black lagers are more popular than other beers. Followed by stout segment is expected to hold the highest market share due to increasing popularity among health conscious consumers. Stout is a fermented dark ale that is often prepared from unmalted barley. It includes flavonoids, an antioxidant that contributes to the drink's black color. Stout ale contains vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, antioxidants, and iron, all of which have been found to prevent blood clots, support muscle growth, and reduce the chance of a heart attack. The manufacturers produce black ale variants that are reduced in calories, fat, and cholesterol. Dark lager's brewing process is faster and convenient than that of other black beers, such as dark ale or brown porter.

Europe Black Beer Market – By Packaging

A major reason fueling offline sales of black beer is the wide variety of beers in diverse brands and price ranges.
