The increasing number of partnerships, agreements, and M&A activities is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The rising number of M&As is one of the favourable trends in the Europe - craft beer market. Booming M&A activities support companies to expand their market shares and gain access to new products and technologies, thereby developing their product portfolios and enhancing their supply chain efficiency. The high popularity of craft beer has encouraged major companies to prefer M&A and acquire relatively smaller players that specialize in this category. Furthermore, to enter new regional markets and offer innovative products, several key players that work in the market are focused on partnering with regional macro breweries and distributors.
For instance, in August 2022, Danish brewery Mikkeller and Warner Bros. Consumer Products teamed up to produce three unique beers using Styrian Dragon hops and dragon fruit. The three new beers are Syrax Rises, Syrax, and Caraxes. Therefore, the rising number of acquisitions among companies is expected to strengthen their market presence by allowing them to deliver various portfolios of products in the craft beer category, thereby driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Campaigns against alcohol consumption in Europe are a significant challenge that will hinder the market growth. The rising number of campaigns against alcohol consumption in Europe is considered to be a significant hurdle for the growth of breweries and microbreweries in the region. The levels of alcohol consumption and diverse harms related to alcohol are considered to be very high in the region. For instance, according to a recent factsheet published by the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of alcohol-related deaths is approximately 800 per day.
Moreover, the rising incidence of alcohol abuse and alcohol-related accidents has led many regulatory, social, and government organizations to launch campaigns against alcohol consumption to educate people on low-risk drinking guidelines and the health consequences associated with drinking alcohol can have a negative impact on the Europe - craft beer market growth. Such factors will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
Indian Pale Ale (IPA) based craft beer is one of the most popular varieties of craft beer and also one of the most preferred among European consumers. The different flavour of IPA is one of the major reasons for the growing popularity of this variety of craft beer in the region. Breweries in the region are increasingly focusing on innovating and experimenting with this variety of craft beer as a result of the mass appeal of IPAs in Europe. For instance, Belgium-based Duvel Moortgat NV (Duvel) offers Duvel Triple Hop, a stronger and highly hopped version of the company's flagship line of IPA Duvel Special, which is made by adding the American hop Amarillo to the company's homegrown hop bill. The Stone IPA offered by Stone Brewing Co. LLC (Stone Brewing) is a West Coast-style IPA that has a citrusy and piney hop-forward flavour balanced by a subtle maltiness and a dry finish, which is anticipated to flourish in the European market, which will drive the growth of the IPA-based craft beer segment in the market in focus during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the off-trade segment will be significant during the forecast period. The most common off-trade distribution channels of craft beer include individual retailers, supermarkets, and hypermarkets. These distribution channels allow consumers to choose from different varieties of craft beer, as they have dedicated sections for different brands of craft beer compared with on-trade channels.
The off-trade was the largest and was valued at USD 18.88 billion in 2017.

However, as they do not have to bear the additional cost of seating, off-trade distribution channels have cost advantages. Some major hypermarkets and supermarkets that deliver different brands of craft beer to consumers in Europe are Tesco Plc (Tesco), Carrefour SA (Carrefour), and Target Brands. Additionally, off-trade distribution channels deliver convenience and have extended hours of operation. Such factors are anticipated to boost the growth of the off-trade distribution segment during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
