Market Dynamics

The growth of online retailing of beers is notably driving the market growth, although the huge availability of substitute products may impede the market growth.  Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Market Driver

The growth of online retailing of beer is notably driving market growth. The use of the Internet for sales and marketing is increasing in India. E-commerce is helping small businesses such as craft beer makers get their products in front of a wide range of consumers. Beer availability on online trading platforms increases vendor visibility. It also allows companies to sell more to Internet-savvy customers. Such platforms also provide product descriptions and reviews. Various suppliers active in the market offer their products online on their websites. 

Some companies also sell their products through third-party online retailers such as Amazon.com Inc. Benefits of online retail will drive several companies to offer through online channels during the forecast period. Consumer migration from traditional to online to omnichannel retail and internet penetration in India is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. 

Significant Market Trends

Increasing demand for premium beers is a key trend influencing the market growth. Increasing demand for premium beer is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. In India, per capita incomes have risen significantly, increasing consumer demand. Increasing demand for premium and craft beers across India is expected to boost the market. Due to the increasing demand for such beers, companies are offering premium beer styles.

For example, recently, Heineken announced the launch of Heineken Silver, expanding its presence in the premium beer category in India. Premium beer is widely favored for its authenticity, taste, and brand. Therefore, increasing demand coupled with the expansion of premium beer brands in India is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. 

Major Market Challenge

The huge availability of substitute products for beer is challenging the market. Rum, vodka, whiskey, soft drinks, and energy drinks are the main alternatives. Conventional high-alcohol alcoholic beverages have wide availability and serve well for the functional purposes of alcoholic beverages. Other alternatives, such as soft drinks and energy drinks, are also widely available and are considered healthier than alcoholic beverages such as beer. The low price is an advantage that drives demand for alternatives. For example, alcoholic beverages (including beer), soft drinks, and energy drinks are all considered soft drinks.

However, per capita prices and consumption of various alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and energy drinks are lower than beer. In addition, non-alcoholic beverages such as soft drinks and energy drinks are being actively promoted and are becoming more popular. However, alcoholic beverages such as beer cannot be advertised in India due to government restrictions, forcing companies to choose alternative advertising that is not considered a successful marketing effort to attract new audiences. This further restricts their sales in India. Therefore, the availability of alternative products will harm  the market during the forecast period.

What is the Fastest-Growing Segments in the Market?

The market share growth by the bottles segment will be significant during the forecast period. These has traditionally been packaged in glass bottles, mostly brown bottles. However, today's consumers prefer lightweight metal cans that can adapt to social situations. Packaging is done from materials such as wooden containers and PET bottles. Also, many consumers still prefer glass bottles because they are free of bisphenol A (BPA). BPA causes high blood pressure and slows your heart rate. Many traditional breweries prefer bottled products as part of traditional brewing techniques.

The bottles segment was valued at USD 4,557.26 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Internationally renowned brand Carlsberg has launched new fiber beer bottles and containers. The new green fiber bottle is opaque, unbreakable, and has a recognizable fiber structure. Additionally, they are biodegradable and serve as a sustainable option for beer packaging. Instead of plastic seals, the company uses an impermeable coating. The wood fibers in the bottle are made from sustainably managed wood fibers. Such developments are expected to boost the growth of the bottled segment, which in turn is expected to boost the growth of the segment and propel the market during the forecast period.
